Cybersecurity

Managed Detection and Response

A security operations team that watches, hunts and responds through every hour.

Why It Matters

A security team cannot watch every system through every hour, and attacks often begin outside office hours.

The first sign is a call from a customer, by which time the attacker may already have a way back in. Tools alone do not close that gap, so someone must read the alerts and act before the damage spreads.

What We Do

  • Analysts watch your estate around the clock, and every alert has an owner and a written record.

  • We look for the activity automated rules miss, with each hunt starting from a question and ending with its evidence.

  • A confirmed threat is contained at once, with every action logged and approved by a person.

  • A named team you have met and rehearsed with is ready before an incident starts.

  • We contain the attack, restore data and rebuild trust in the estate.

  • We set up your own security centre with its people, tools and runbooks, and stay until your team runs it.

What Changes for You

  1. Analysts filter the noise and raise the activity that matters before it becomes an incident.

  2. A confirmed threat is isolated at once, with people in control of each step.

  3. The people, playbooks and access are in place before an incident starts.

What We Run and Watch

We watch the systems an attacker would use to get in or move. The list is written down and reviewed with you, so you know what is covered and what is not.

  • Your Estate

    Servers, endpoints and applications are watched through every hour. The coverage list is reviewed with your team each month.

  • Identity

    Sign-ins, admin rights and unusual access are checked as they happen. A stolen account is caught before it reaches the data.

  • Cloud

    Cloud accounts and their settings are watched against your policy. A public bucket or an open rule is raised the moment it appears.

  • Network

    Traffic and connections are monitored for the routes an attacker would use. We watch the moves between systems, not only the edge.

Onboarding

Onboarding has clear stages, and each stage has an owner. You name the systems, the log owners and who can decide in an incident. We bring the analysts and the runbooks.

  1. Connect

    We collect the logs and confirm the access the centre needs. A short list names every source and its owner.

  2. Tune

    We remove noise and set the alerts that fit your estate. Your team agrees which alerts deserve a call.

  3. Rehearse

    We run an incident exercise so everyone knows their part. The exercise tests the call tree as well as the tools.

  4. Review

    After the first month we review coverage, response times and gaps. The review sets the priorities for the next month.

Reporting

You see what we saw and what we did. Each report is short enough for a busy reader and clear enough for an auditor.

  • A Monthly Report

    Incidents, response times and open risks in one short document. The same figures feed your own risk reporting.

  • An Incident Report

    Each incident ends with a timeline, a cause and the actions that follow. Every action has an owner and a date.

  • A Board Summary

    Leaders get the risk in plain words and the decisions they need to make. Technical detail stays in the appendix.

Questions

What security leaders ask before they hand over monitoring.

How quickly can you start?

We agree scope and access first. Monitoring usually begins once the logs and contacts are in place. You see the first alerts before the service becomes live.

What drives the cost?

The number of log sources, the size of the estate and the hours you want watched. Response actions, threat hunting and help building your own centre add work. Once the scope is clear, you receive a proposal with the service levels and the price.

Who responds to an incident?

Our analysts contain the threat and call your team. You keep control of the business decisions, and we keep the record of each step. We do not patch every system or make legal decisions for you.

Where does our data go?

Logs stay in the region you choose, under your agreement and access rules. We keep only what the service needs, and we delete it when the agreement ends.

Can you help us build our own centre?

Yes. We set up the people, tools and runbooks, then hand over when your team is ready. The handover has a date and a written checklist.
