In September 2025, Sophos launched Sophos Endpoint 100, a new licensing model that brings full enterprise-level endpoint protection to small and medium-sized businesses without the complexity or cost usually associated with large-scale security deployments.
For SME leaders and IT managers balancing tight budgets, limited staff, and increasing cyber risk, Sophos Endpoint 100 represents a genuine shift: predictable pricing, simple deployment, and no compromise on protection.
Why Sophos Endpoint 100 Matters
Cyberattacks are no longer a big-business problem. SMEs are now prime targets — often less protected, but holding valuable customer and financial data. Traditional enterprise security products have historically been too expensive or too complex for this market.
Sophos Endpoint 100 changes that equation. It provides the full Sophos Intercept X protection stack — including anti-ransomware, exploit prevention, and deep-learning AI detection — under a single, fixed-price annual licence for up to 100 user endpoints and 10 servers.
No feature stripping, no confusing tiering, and no hidden add-ons. Just full protection, simplified for smaller environments.
As Ransomware becomes increasingly common, with several high profile incidents in the news in 2025, ensuring SMEs are protected is essential.
Key Features That Matter to SMEs
1. Full Sophos Endpoint capability
You get the same protection Sophos deploys to large enterprises — CryptoGuard ransomware defence, behavioural analysis, exploit mitigation, and rollback recovery — all managed via the cloud-based Sophos Central console.
2. Simple licensing
One flat annual price covers everything up to 100 users and 10 servers. There’s no need to choose between “advanced” or “standard” tiers — every feature is included.
3. Easy to deploy and manage
The lightweight agent and centralised management mean even small IT teams can roll out Sophos Endpoint 100 quickly and maintain it with minimal overhead.
4. Predictable budgeting
The 12-month term keeps things simple: one annual commitment, no hidden usage costs, and (if needed) many resellers can arrange monthly billing for cash-flow flexibility.
5. Scalable path to XDR and MDR
Sophos Endpoint 100 integrates natively with Sophos’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms. As your business grows, you can upgrade seamlessly to proactive threat hunting without starting over.
Why It’s Perfect for SMEs
Sophos Endpoint 100 was built with SME realities in mind. Smaller organisations need:
-
Enterprise protection without enterprise complexity
-
Predictable annual spend
-
Minimal configuration overhead
-
Confidence that growth won’t outpace their tools
This model eliminates the “small business compromise.” You’re not buying a cut-down version — you’re getting the full power of Sophos’s leading endpoint security, right-sized for your scale.
