How Do You Choose a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)?

Hi HN,

I recently built a small project called MSSPProviders.io:

https://msspproviders.io

It’s a searchable directory of Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).

I originally started compiling this because I kept seeing companies struggle to evaluate security vendors. Most of the information available online is scattered across blog posts, marketing pages, or outdated vendor lists.

The goal of the site is to make the MSSP landscape easier to explore.

Current features:

• ~100 providers indexed • individual provider profiles • browsing by services, industry, supported platforms, and company size • resource articles explaining how MSSPs work and how to evaluate them

I also just published a guide highlighting some of the more established providers in the space:

https://msspproviders.io/resources/top-mssps-in-2026/

The project is built with Next.js + Postgres.

Still early, but I plan to add:

• better provider comparison tools • APIs for security vendor data • more structured research on the MSSP ecosystem

If you work in security or have experience with MSSPs, I’d love feedback on:

1. Which providers should be included 2. What data is most useful when evaluating vendors 3. Whether something like this would benefit from an API

Happy to answer questions.

Does anyone else want a managed service provider that just gives your access to tools I can't buy because they have large minimum seat counts and lets you build it yourself with minimal support and fees?

Someone that will resell you 5-10 seats for something and leave you alone and you don’t have a steep monthly fee?

I love my IT provider, but they really don’t resell stuff. I would love to get Abnormal or Huntress SAT, but I just don’t have the numbers to justify it.

Are there any good conduit MSPs for DIYers or people who have smaller IT contractors that just do the basic turn it off and on again fix for frontend employees, while I build out my own solutions myself?

I’m just curious if something like that exists?

I hate the minimums some IT vendors require. Where you need to buy 100 seats for a pilot or for a team that is only going to be 20 people.

It would be nice to be able try some of these without having to jump through half a dozen sales calls and find out it is cost prohibitive or your team is way too small for the kind of business they target.

Yes, my undersanding is that there are aggregators like pax8, but you still have to be an msp get access to pax8.
