Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for UK Businesses

A SIEM collects and correlates security logs but requires skilled in-house staff to write detection rules, investigate alerts, and respond to threats. MDR wraps a SIEM with 24/7 human analyst coverage, proactive threat hunting, and hands-on incident response — delivering outcomes rather than raw data. For organisations without a dedicated security team, MDR provides the expertise that makes SIEM data actionable, which is critical when 43% of UK businesses experienced a breach in the past year (DSIT 2025).

Our analysts do not simply wait for alerts. They proactively search your environment for indicators of compromise, unusual account behaviour, and signs of attacker persistence that automated rules may not flag. This includes reviewing authentication anomalies, lateral movement patterns, and suspicious PowerShell execution. With 22% of breaches involving compromised credentials as the initial vector (Verizon DBIR 2025), hunting for credential abuse before it triggers an alert is essential.

Our target is to contain confirmed threats within minutes of validation. Containment actions include isolating endpoints, disabling compromised accounts, blocking malicious IPs, and terminating suspicious processes. Our analysts have pre-authorised response playbooks for common scenarios such as ransomware, credential theft, and data exfiltration, enabling rapid action without waiting for customer approval during an active attack.

Our MDR service is priced per user per month on a fixed, predictable basis with no hidden charges for alert volume or incident response actions. This makes enterprise-grade security operations accessible to SMEs without the cost of hiring a full security team. The median ransomware demand reached £4.3 million in 2025 (Sophos), making MDR's monthly cost a fraction of the potential financial impact of an undetected breach.

Our MDR platform ingests telemetry from endpoints, Microsoft 365 email and identity logs, firewall and network traffic, cloud applications, and server infrastructure. This cross-environment visibility allows our analysts to correlate events across multiple attack surfaces and detect complex, multi-stage attacks that single-source monitoring would miss. We integrate with your existing tools, so there is no need to replace your current technology stack.
