Managed Security
Detection and response that does not wait for morning.
A security operations center that monitors your endpoints, identities, cloud and network around the clock, and contains confirmed threats under agreed playbooks.
Sound familiar
Where this usually starts.
Attackers favor nights and weekends because that is when nobody is watching. Our security operations center watches continuously: telemetry from endpoints, identities, email, cloud and network flows into detection tuned to your environment, analysts triage every alert that matters, and confirmed threats are contained under playbooks you have approved in advance. You get a call when it matters and a written record every time.
Scope
What is included.
-
Continuous monitoring
Endpoint, identity, email, cloud and network telemetry watched around the clock.
-
Detection engineering
Rules tuned to your environment and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
-
Triage and investigation
Every relevant alert investigated by an analyst, and false positives tuned out.
-
Containment
Host isolation, account disablement and blocking under pre-approved playbooks.
-
Threat hunting
Proactive searches for activity the rules have not caught.
-
Reporting
Monthly reports on detections, response times and coverage gaps.
Reference architecture
From every signal to one response, and the evidence for the audit.
The security operations center sits at the center of the security architecture: it collects telemetry into the SIEM, its analysts triage what detection raises, and containment acts on confirmed threats under playbooks you approved.
What this service delivers here
-
SIEM
Every signal in one place, correlated into incidents rather than alerts.
-
SOC analysts
People, around the clock, who decide what is real and act on it.
-
Containment
Isolate the device, revoke the session, block the sender.
How it fits together
From every signal to one report.
Each stage hands less to the next and says more about it. What reaches you is what happened, what was done, and what changes.
- Telemetry Endpoint, identity, email, cloud and network, watched around the clock.
- Detection Rules tuned to your environment and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
- Triage An analyst investigates each relevant alert and closes the false positives.
- Containment Hosts isolated, accounts disabled, traffic blocked, under playbooks you approved.
- Reporting Detections, response times and coverage gaps, every month.
Before you start
Decisions to settle early.
-
Your SIEM or ours
Working in your SIEM keeps the logs in your tenant and your history intact; using our platform is quicker to start. Either way, you keep ownership of the data.
-
What we contain without asking
Isolating a laptop at night is usually right; isolating a production server may not be. Playbooks set the line for each kind of asset.
-
Which sources first
Every log source costs money to ingest. We start where the likeliest attacks would be seen and add sources as coverage gaps show.
Approach
How the work runs.
-
Onboard
Log sources connected and baselined
-
Detect
Rules tuned to your environment
-
Respond
Triage and containment by playbook
-
Improve
Coverage gaps closed every month
Commercials
How it is bought.
-
A fixed-fee assessment
We review your log sources, existing detection tools and recent alerts, and map coverage against common attacker techniques. You receive the coverage gaps and a fixed onboarding price.
-
A fixed-price build
Onboarding connects the log sources in scope, baselines your environment, tunes detection and agrees response playbooks before we go live.
-
Running it afterwards
Monitoring and response then run monthly, around the clock, with monthly reporting and a quarterly review of coverage and threats.
Start with the assessment.
Worked example
An EDR that nobody was watching.
Say an engineering firm bought endpoint detection and response after a customer questionnaire, but its alerts go to an inbox read during office hours, and its cyber insurer now asks who watches out of hours.
-
Onboard
We connect endpoint, identity, email and cloud logs to the operations center and learn what normal looks like for the firm before tuning anything.
-
Approve
The firm's leadership approves playbooks in advance: which hosts we may isolate, which accounts we may disable, and whom we call at night.
-
Respond
When an alert shows a compromised account at the weekend, an analyst confirms it, disables the account under the playbook and calls the named contact.
-
Improve
Each month the coverage map is reviewed, and new detections are added where the firm's estate has blind spots.
At the end, the firm can answer its insurer with a named provider and a record of response, and a weekend compromise is contained while it is happening rather than found on Monday.
An illustration
Where it goes wrong
What we design out.
-
Tools bought, nobody watching
Detection products raise alerts that someone must read at three in the morning. Analysts watch continuously and act.
-
Rules not tuned to you
Generic detections drown real threats in noise. Rules are tuned to your environment before they are relied on.
-
Containment without consent
Isolating the wrong server at the wrong time causes its own incident. Every action we take on our own is agreed in a playbook in advance.
Outcomes
What it changes.
-
Threats caught early
Activity is detected in minutes or hours, not discovered weeks later.
-
Containment without delay
Approved playbooks mean an analyst can stop an attack at night without waiting for permission.
-
Answers for insurers and customers
Monitoring coverage and response times are documented for the questions they ask.
How you will know it is working
- Confirmed threats are contained while they are happening.
- Each alert that matters is investigated by a person.
- You can show an insurer or customer who watches your estate out of hours.
- Coverage gaps shrink month by month.
You keep
What you have at the end.

Questions
Questions we get asked.
Do you need us to buy a specific SIEM or EDR?
No. We operate the major platforms, Microsoft Sentinel and Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Splunk and Elastic among them, and recommend a change only where your current tools leave a gap that configuration cannot close.
What is the difference between a SOC and MDR?
A SOC is the team and process that monitors and responds; managed detection and response is that capability delivered as a service, with containment included. What matters is that someone with the authority to act is watching at all hours.
Will you act without asking us?
Only within the playbooks you approve, such as isolating an endpoint that shows ransomware behavior or disabling an account signing in from an impossible location. Anything outside a playbook is escalated to your named contacts first.
How quickly do you respond?
Response targets are set by severity in the service agreement, and reported every month against what actually happened.
Which log sources should a SOC monitor first?
Identity, endpoints and email, because most attacks pass through at least one of them. Cloud control planes and firewalls follow. We start with the sources that cover the likeliest attacks on your estate and add others as the coverage map shows where the gaps are.
How do you avoid drowning in false positives?
By tuning detections to your environment before relying on them, suppressing known harmless activity with a recorded reason, and reviewing alert quality every month. An analyst investigates each relevant alert, and recurring noise becomes a tuning task rather than a habit of ignoring alerts.
Do we keep ownership of our security logs?
Yes. Where the SIEM is yours, the logs stay in your tenant and we work in it with delegated access. Where we provide the platform, retention and export are agreed in the contract, and the data is returned or deleted when the service ends.
What is threat hunting?
A proactive search by an analyst for signs of attack that no rule has flagged, starting from a hypothesis about how an attacker might operate in your estate. A hunt that finds something becomes an incident; one that finds nothing often becomes a new detection, so the same search runs automatically next time.
