VikingCloud Named a Finalist in Cyber Defense Magazine’s Top InfoSec Innovator Awards, Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Category

Chicago, IL, and Dublin, Ireland – July 30, 2026 – VikingCloud, a cybersecurity and compliance partner trusted by over 4 million business locations worldwide, today announced it’s been named a finalist in the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) category of the 14th annual Top InfoSec Innovator Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM).

VikingCloud entered the MSSP category for how it integrates cybersecurity, compliance, and connectivity as a single managed service through the Asgard Platform®, the industry's largest AI-powered cybersecurity and compliance database. Distributed enterprises, including quick service restaurant chains, retailers, and healthcare organizations, get a single view of cyber and compliance risk across their locations, whether that is 10 sites or 10,000+.

Managed Detection & Response (MDR) monitors every site 24x7, with analysts who investigate and contain threats as they surface. Compliance specialists on staff manage PCI DSS end-to-end, backed by more Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) than any other company.

“Standards drift. One site misses a patch, another falls behind on an assessment, and the brand ends up carrying a risk nobody can see,” said Kevin Pierce, President and COO of VikingCloud. “That's why we built one managed service across cybersecurity, compliance, and connectivity: one platform, one accountable partner, and the same standard at every location.”

Now in its 14th year, CDM's Top InfoSec Innovator Awards are judged by a panel of CISSP, CEH, and similarly certified information security professionals, who independently review the company submissions. Winners will be announced during CyberDefenseCon 2026, taking place October 20 – 21, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida.
