Wiz Premier isn’t the story. Wiring the Security Graph into the SOC is.

Premier tier in Wiz’s partner ladder is a badge. The underwrite is whether an MSP can wire the cloud-risk graph into SOC ops so findings become investigations — not another dashboard. That is today’s Foresite print. Not a share claim. ARR: Undisclosed.

On September 28, 2026, Foresite Cybersecurity — named the 2026 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year for North America — announced managed services for Wiz, Premier tier in the Wiz Partner Alliance Services Program, and participation in the Wiz Partner Alliance Managed Service Provider Program. Primary: PR Newswire. The frame is explicit: Wiz is now part of Google Cloud, and Foresite is extending the same delivery muscle it already runs on the Google Cloud security stack — connecting cloud risk management with security operations.

What the services cover. Assessment, implementation, and ongoing operations across the Wiz AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP). Enterprises can engage Foresite to strengthen existing deployments, introduce new capabilities, or manage day-to-day platform operations. A named entry product: a Wiz Health Check at foresite.com/wiz. Benefits listed in the release (vendor-stated): agentless visibility across cloud and AI environments; risk prioritization via the Wiz Security Graph (misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identities, data exposures); remediation support paired with continuous compliance enforcement.

The SOC bridge is the POV. A central piece is integrating Wiz with Google Security Operations — cloud risk findings and runtime detections into SOC investigation and response. Foresite runs 24/7 managed detection and response from its Cyber Fusion Centers, combining automated investigation with practitioner oversight of high-impact response actions. Jeremy Hehl, Chief Evangelist at Foresite: the opportunity is to connect what teams know about cloud risk with how they investigate and respond. Andy Ritchie, VP Global Channels and Alliances at Wiz: Premier is the highest level of technical competency, training, and accreditation on the Wiz platform. Brian Carlton, Global Director, Partner Solutions Architecture at Wiz: “What sets Foresite apart is that the team deploying Wiz is also the team running the security operations” — the gap between those two programs is “where cloud security often stalls.”

Production proof: OpenVPN. OpenVPN standardized cloud security on Wiz, deployed and operated by Foresite, across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Foresite engineered a phased rollout of Wiz Cloud, Code, and Defend, validating each layer before the next, and now operates the platform as a managed service alongside the Google SecOps work it has run for OpenVPN since 2025. Brian Litzinger, OpenVPN CISO: the Security Graph gives one picture of multi-cloud risk; continuous ops means cloud risk “stopped being a report we review and became part of how our SOC investigates and responds in Google Security Operations every day.” That is the CNAPP-to-ops thesis in one customer sentence — not a TAM slide.

About-box caveats. Foresite’s About block calls out Catalyst as independently attested to SOC 2 Type II and certified to ISO/IEC 27001, and describes practitioner-led governance of agentic AI investigation. Note: that is vendor About language in the same release, not a third-party audit report republished here. Google Cloud Premier Partner with Security and MSSP specializations — also vendor-stated in About.

POV. CNAPP value accrues when someone owns the handoff from Security Graph context to SOC action. Premier MSP status is necessary table stakes; OpenVPN-style multi-cloud Cloud+Code+Defend phased ops on Google SecOps is the proof pattern. Boards should ask: Is the MSP the same team that deploys and runs MDR — or a reseller badge with a ticket queue? Does Wiz↔Google SecOps integration show up in ticket close times, or only in a joint slide? Headcount: Undisclosed. ARR: Undisclosed. No share %. Underwrite the ops bridge.
