MDR & SOC

AI-driven MDR and 24/7 security operations

Most MDR providers just forward alerts. We built ours from the offensive side — our analysts know what attacks actually look like because they execute them every day.

Why in-house security operations fail under real pressure

Building and sustaining an effective SOC in-house requires more than technology. It demands continuous expertise, round-the-clock staffing, and intelligence that only comes from being on both sides of the fight.

  • Alert volumes from modern stacks overwhelm internal teams — triage backlogs mean real threats wait hours or days
  • Generic detection content is written for theoretical attacks, not the tradecraft active threat actors use right now
  • Threat hunters need offensive context to form valid hypotheses — most internal teams have never seen a real intrusion from the attacker's perspective
  • Incident response without prior environment knowledge wastes critical containment time
  • Security tooling investments are undermined by poor tuning — false positive rates of 90%+ are common without continuous optimisation

SOC capabilities

  • 24/7 Threat Monitoring

    Round-the-clock monitoring by human analysts backed by AI-powered triage. We don't just watch dashboards — we hunt for the threats your tools miss.

  • Incident Response

    When an incident hits, our team is already in your environment. Response time is measured in minutes, not hours. Containment, eradication, and recovery included.

  • Threat Hunting

    Proactive hypothesis-driven hunts informed by our offensive research. We look for attacker TTPs that signature-based tools will never catch.

  • SIEM & SOAR Management

    We manage your SIEM and SOAR stack so your team doesn't have to. Tuning, correlation rules, and automated playbooks maintained continuously.

  • Vulnerability Management

    Continuous vulnerability scanning integrated with threat intelligence and business context. We prioritise what matters, not what scores highest on CVSS alone.

  • Threat Intelligence Integration

    Our MDR feeds are enriched with intelligence from buDarkPortal, our OSINT operations, and our own offensive engagements — sources most providers can't access.

Managed detection in action

Ransomware precursor activity stopped before encryption

Scenario

An endpoint in a manufacturing client's environment began staging Cobalt Strike beacons and performing internal reconnaissance using native Windows tooling — classic pre-ransomware preparation invisible to signature-based tools.

Resolution

Our SOC identified the behavioural chain within 11 minutes of the first anomaly. The host was isolated before any lateral movement or data staging occurred. A full incident report with the full attack timeline and remediation steps was delivered within four hours.

Credential-based intrusion via compromised third party

Scenario

Valid credentials belonging to an IT supplier were used to log into a financial services client's cloud environment. The access pattern was subtle — low volume, business hours, familiar source geography — designed to blend with legitimate activity.

Resolution

buDarkPortal had already flagged the supplier's credential exposure 72 hours earlier. Our SOC correlated the new login activity against the dark web indicator, confirmed the compromise, and coordinated revocation and access review before any privileged escalation was attempted.

Insider data exfiltration identified through behavioural analytics

Scenario

A departing employee at a professional services firm began accessing and downloading documents outside their normal scope over a two-week period. No policy was technically violated — but the volume and pattern diverged significantly from established baseline.

Resolution

Our threat hunting team flagged the anomaly during a routine hunt cycle. Legal and HR were notified within the same business day. A full forensic export of the activity log was provided to support the client's internal investigation.

How our iSOC operating model works

Our iSOC (intelligent Security Operations Centre) is not a shared analyst pool watching dashboards. It is a structured operational model that combines continuous detection engineering, tiered human analysis, and offensive context at every layer.

24/7 analyst coverage with tiered escalation

Every alert is triaged by a Tier 1 analyst, with automatic escalation to Tier 2 for confirmed or high-confidence threats. Critical incidents engage our senior incident response team directly. No alert is closed without human review.

Detection engineering pipeline

Our detection engineers write, test, and maintain correlation rules continuously. Rules are validated against real attack data from our offensive engagements before deployment to production environments. Coverage gaps are tracked and closed on a defined cadence.

Monthly threat landscape briefings

Each month, your team receives a structured briefing covering active threat actor groups relevant to your sector, new TTPs observed in our offensive work and threat intelligence feeds, and changes to your detection coverage posture.

Quarterly detection gap analysis

We measure your actual detection coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK framework every quarter. Gaps are prioritised by attacker relevance to your industry and addressed in the following detection engineering cycle.
