Socura recognised as a top performing scale-up in the UK tech sector

We've named a 2026 Emerging Star by Megabuyte

Following rapid growth in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), we’re delighted to announce that Socura is featured in the 2026 Megabuyte Emerging Stars list.

The Emerging Stars list identifies the UK’s 50 best-performing scale-up technology companies, as determined by the Megabuyte Scorecard—a proprietary methodology that evaluates organisations based on rigorous financial performance. Of the 9,000+ companies tracked by Megabuyte’s research analysts, only a small fraction meet the Scorecard criteria, and even fewer outperform the top quartile across key metrics.

Recognition by Megabuyte follows a period of exceptional performance for Socura, in which our MDR client base more than doubled, our Net Promoter Score (a key indicator of customer satisfaction) was rated as ‘World-class’ (83), and contracted customer retention was 100%.

Best Performing Company | Cyber Services

Building on this achievement, Socura has been shortlisted for the Best Performing Company - Cyber Services category in the 2026 Megabuyte Emerging Stars awards.

Across the top 50 best-performing scale-ups in the UK, these awards acknowledge outstanding achievements within specific peer groups. Evaluation criteria encompass critical factors including size and growth.

Winners of the 2026 Megabuyte Emerging Stars awards will be announced on 19 March 2026 at the Megabuyte100 awards event in London.
