Root

Root is a cybersecurity services company. Stop Shifting left, Shift Out!. The job it does: assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

The natural audience is companies without a full security team. They also list Cyber Security, DevOps and Web Development, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Root is based in Boston, Massachusetts and founded in 2020. You can read more at root.io.

Things worth asking about: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Root, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
