Global Data Systems Named To MSSP Alert’s Top 250 MSSPSs List For 2022, No. 86
Lafayette, LA, October 4, 2022: MSSP Alert, a CyberRisk Alliance resource, has named Global Data Systems to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2022 at No. 86.
The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs (managed security service providers) worldwide. The rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s 2022 readership survey combined with the site’s editorial coverage of MSSP, MDR and MSP security providers. The sixth-annual list and research track the MSSP market’s ongoing growth and evolution.
“Being included in CyberRisk Alliance's Top 250 MSSPs is an honor and speaks highly of Global Data Systems’ reputation as a leader in the managed security space,” said Global Data Systems Chief Operations Officer, Bob Miller. “This inclusion illustrates our ongoing commitment to keeping security at the forefront of everything we do.”
“MSSP Alert congratulates Global Data Systems on this year’s honor,” said Joe Panettieri, editorial director of MSSP Alert. “The MSSP Alert readership and Top 250 honorees continue to outpace the cybersecurity market worldwide.”
Highlights from the associated MSSP Alert research for 2022 include:
- MSSP Revenue Growth & Financial Performance: MSSP honorees, on average, expect to generate $24 million in revenue for 2022, up 26% from 2021. The growth rate is roughly double the market average.

- Profits: 90% of MSSPs surveyed expect to be profitable for fiscal year 2022, a five-point improvement from 2021.
