Market leader by size
The leading Security system shifts with company size: among UK Healthcare with under 10 employees, reCAPTCHA leads at 86.1% of the 1,536 with a detectable system; among UK Healthcare with 10–50 employees, reCAPTCHA leads at 84.8% of the 1,458 with a detectable system; and among UK Healthcare with over 50 employees, reCAPTCHA leads at 89% of the 465 with a detectable system.
Under 10 employees
86.1% of band
Companies under 10 employees form the largest detected band, with 1,536 companies. reCAPTCHA accounts for 86.1%, leaving the rest of the band split across smaller Security systems.
10–50 employees
84.8% of band
Mid-sized healthcare companies show a similar pattern, with 1,458 detected companies and reCAPTCHA on 84.8%. Alternatives compete in relatively small pockets rather than matching the main system’s reach.

89% of band
Larger healthcare companies account for 465 detected users, and reCAPTCHA’s share rises to 89.0%. The long tail is narrower in this band than the overall count of 17 detected systems might suggest.
How Security usage is detected
Company data
Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.
Detection
Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.
Freshness
Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.
