Ideal Customer
- Foresite's sweet spot is mid-market to enterprise organizations with $50M–$2B in annual revenue operating in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and government.
- Their target customers typically have a centralized IT team but limited dedicated cybersecurity staff, lack an internal 24/7 SOC, and need to demonstrate continuous compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, PCI DSS, or CMMC.
Key Differentiators
- Foresite's primary differentiator is its position as a Google-native MSSP built on Google SecOps from the ground up — operationalizing Chronicle SIEM, Google Threat Intelligence, Mandiant, Security Command Center Enterprise, and Model Armor through its proprietary Catalyst platform.
- Its 'Glass Box' governance model — where every AI-driven autonomous investigation is reviewed and authorized by a named human analyst before response actions execute — is positioned as a key differentiator over fully autonomous or 'black box' competitors.
Industries Served
- Foresite serves a broad range of regulated industries including financial services (banks, credit unions, fintechs), healthcare (hospitals, providers, life sciences), government and public sector, education, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, insurance, and legal.
- The company has built deep compliance specializations for each vertical, supporting frameworks like PCI DSS, GLBA, FFIEC, and SOX for financial services; HIPAA, HITECH, and CMS for healthcare; CJIS for government; and NYDFS 500 and NAIC for insurance.
Service Coverage
- Foresite operates primarily across North America and Europe, with its headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas and a second office in Farnborough, England (UK).
- The company delivers services globally through its cloud-native Catalyst platform built on Google Cloud and has deployed hundreds of Google SecOps instances worldwide.
Partnerships
- Foresite's most significant partnership is with Google Cloud, where it holds Premier Partner status with Security Services Specialization, Google SecOps Delivery Partner designation, Google Cloud Managed Security Services Partner status, and an Advanced Competency in Google Cloud Security including Google Public Sector expertise.
- Additional named technology partners include Mandiant (threat intelligence and hunt), Wiz (Premier tier in the Wiz Partner Alliance Services Program and participation in the Wiz MSP Program), CrowdStrike (Falcon platform for EDR), Tanium (Autonomous IT managed endpoint operations), Tenable (vulnerability management), ManageEngine (UEM and patch automation), Bindplane (log ingestion and telemetry), Apptega (GRC), and Horizon3.ai (autonomous penetration testing).
Company Size
- Foresite was founded in 2013 (with predecessor operations tracing to 1997) by Marc Brungardt and Robin Mayo, and is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
- Employee counts across sources range from approximately 80–120, with Tracxn reporting 109 employees as of May 2026 and LinkedIn listing 51–200.
Ownership
- Foresite is a privately held company operating as a subsidiary of Moneo Technology Solutions, which acquired Foresite via a buyout/LBO in 2014.
- PitchBook classifies Foresite as private equity-backed, with Moneo previously identified as formerly PE-backed and now listed as out of business as a standalone entity.
Compliance & Certifications
- Foresite holds SOC 2 Type II certification and maintains compliance alignment with NIST 800-53, ISO 27001/27701/22301, PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, GLBA, and CJIS.
