Computing SME Security Award Winner

Published: May 5, 2025
Updated: May 29, 2025
In a nutshell:
Stripe OLTโ€™s Security Operations Centre has just been named โ€˜SME Security Solution of the Yearโ€™, but this win is more than just a title... Itโ€™s proof that enterprise-grade cyber protection doesnโ€™t have to come with an enterprise-sized price tag
Earlier this year, we became the first SOC to pass the newly developed CREST SOC accreditation in the world โ€“ a milestone that validated the maturity of our operation. To now receive national recognition from Computing, further cements our position as a leader in SME cyber security

Weโ€™re incredibly proud to share that Stripe OLT has been named โ€˜SME Security Solution of the Yearโ€™ at the 2025 Computing Security Excellence Awards.

This is a big one for us. It recognises the impact our Security Operations Centre (SOC) is having on small and mid-sized businesses, delivering the kind of round-the-clock protection thatโ€™s often assumed to be out of reach for anyone without an enterprise budget.

Earlier this year, we became the first SOC globally to pass the newly developed CREST SOC accreditation – a huge milestone that validated the depth and maturity of what weโ€™ve built. To now follow that with national recognition from Computing is a real moment. It shows that what weโ€™re doing isnโ€™t just working โ€” itโ€™s setting a new standard.

For a long time, SMEs have been left to figure out cyber security on their own – often with stretched resources, a range of dispersed toolsets, and no 24/7 protection in place.

We wanted to change that.

So, we built our SOC service around what SMEs actually need:

  • Constant monitoring and response (MDR)
  • Hands-on threat hunting
  • Deep integration with Microsoftโ€™s security stack
  • All delivered by people who know what theyโ€™re doing and care about getting it right.

Our SOC Monitor, Manage and 360 plans give businesses flexibility without compromise – whether weโ€™re protecting 30 endpoints or 7,000.

Organisations supporting critical UK infrastructure, like the NHS Confederation have come to us for support, proving that what weโ€™ve built holds up at every level.

Ryan Pullen, Director of Cyber Security at Stripe OLT, comments:

โ€œThis award is another big win for the team โ€“ recognition like this doesnโ€™t come easily, and itโ€™s a testament to the years weโ€™ve spent building a service that truly delivers for SMEs. Weโ€™ve always believed that cyber security should be smart, affordable and fully managed โ€“ and this award proves that approach works.

Earlier this year, we became the first SOC to pass the newly developed CREST SOC accreditation in the world โ€“ a milestone that validated the maturity of our operation. To now receive national recognition from Computing, further cements our position as a leader in SME cyber security.โ€
