About Abacode
Abacode is a Tampa-based Managed Security and Compliance Services Provider (MSSP) founded in 2014 by Michael Ferris and Rolando Torres. The company was purpose-built around the idea that cybersecurity and compliance should be delivered as a unified managed service rather than as separate point solutions. Their leadership team brings experience from IBM, Accenture, Carnegie Mellon University, Ernst & Young, KPMG, CACI, and Amgen Biotech — over five decades of combined cybersecurity and compliance expertise. Abacode operates two 24/7/365 Security Operations Centers — one in Tampa and a second opened in Las Vegas in 2020 — providing continuous threat monitoring, managed detection and response, vulnerability management, and compliance program management under one service umbrella. Their SOC is staffed exclusively by U.S.-based W2 employees with E-verified background checks, a differentiator they emphasize for clients in regulated industries and government-adjacent sectors. The company aligns its services to major compliance frameworks including CMMC, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CIS Controls. Abacode holds ISO 27001 certification itself, is a Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization for CMMC assessments, and has achieved Microsoft Threat Protection and Identity & Access Management specializations. They are also ITAR-compliant and operate in GCC High environments for defense contractors. Abacode has received Series A funding from Ballast Point, was named Tech Company of the Year by Tampa Bay Tech in 2023, and appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for the first time in 2025. With approximately 68 employees and recognition across multiple MSSP rankings, Abacode is one of the more mature and credentialed cybersecurity-focused MSPs in the Southeast U.S.
