Detection & Response

Everything you need to identify, contain, and eradicate live attacks

SPEAK TO THE TEAM

Protect your organisation with our 24/7 threat Detection & Response.

We integrate advanced Security technologies with expert human analysis to deliver continuous threat coverage across your environments.

End alert fatigue with smarter, contextualised monitoring and threat hunting. Reduce the risk and impact of incidents. Continuously learn and develop your Security posture with deep, relevant insights and recommendations.

With our complete response methodology, w help you achieve the remediation and root cause analysis your organisation needs to get back on its feet while lowering your future cyber risk.

See the unseen

Uncover hidden threats and suspicious activity across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments before they escalate.

Strike first

Deploy rapid, expert-led responses that contain and eradicate threats the moment they’re detected.

Evolve your defences

Continuously refine detection rules, response playbooks, and security controls to stay ahead of emerging attack methods.

The full Detection & Response package

A layered MDR approach stops threats in their tracks, protecting your people, systems, and data from every angle.

24/7 threat monitoring & detection

Continuously search for threats via human-led, AI-enhanced monitoring and detection across your on-premise, Cloud, and novel, system-specific environments. Leveraging vast telemetry, we provide you with round-the-clock vigilance to shrink your detection gap and rapidly identify suspicious activities.

Proactive threat hunting

Catch the threats that would otherwise bypass your standard controls. Our threat hunting services use an advanced understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that goes beyond indicators of compromise (IoCs) to uncover malicious activity before it causes harm.

Incident Response & remediation

Our complete response extends to full remediation, eradication, and recovery ensuring you’re covered when the worst happens. Proactive containment and remediation help to quickly neutralise identified threats and prevent re-entry.

Security posture optimisation

Beyond reactive measures, our Detection & Response solutions provide you with actionable recommendations to improve your Security posture, reduce the rate and impact of future incidents, and maximise your existing security investments. Constantly learn from incidents and improve your Cyberdefence.

Detection & Response Partnerships

Our partners

We partner with the best Detection & Response technology partners to serve you with the outcomes you need.


Kroll’s industry-leading solutions leverage frontline threat intelligence from thousands of investigations to keep you safe. With proactive hunting and deep forensic capabilities that integrate with your Microsoft systems, Kroll’s solutions are designed to deliver the complete response you need to uncover, contain, and remove threats and recover fast from incidents.


Microsoft’s XDR combines advanced AI-powered Defender capabilities with human expert analysis for managed detection, investigation, and human-led response across endpoints, identities, cloud apps, and more. Together Microsoft we help to augment your SOC operations, prioritise threats, and continuously improve your security posture.

Identity and network security integration

Detection and response capabilities deliver maximum protection when integrated with broader security controls. Our managed detection and response service works alongside identity and access management to ensure unauthorised access attempts trigger immediate investigation, while identity anomalies detected by MDR inform access policy refinement. This bidirectional integration means security signals from multiple sources correlate to identify sophisticated attacks that might evade individual controls.

Proactive security and human risk management

Security vulnerabilities identified through detection capabilities inform proactive security improvements. We work with our penetration testing team to validate that identified vulnerabilities represent genuine risk and prioritise remediation based on actual threat intelligence. This integration ensures security investments focus on risks that matter rather than theoretical vulnerabilities with low exploitation probability. Detection and response findings also inform penetration testing scope, creating a continuous security validation cycle.

What is the difference between MDR and a traditional SOC?

Traditional SOCs typically focus on monitoring security tools and generating alerts, with investigation and response often remaining the client’s responsibility. MDR services provide end-to-end threat management including proactive threat hunting, investigation of alerts, incident response, and containment actions.

Our MDR service combines 24/7 monitoring with expert threat analysis and active response, providing comprehensive protection without requiring you to build internal SOC capability.

How quickly do you respond when threats are detected?

Critical threats indicating active compromise trigger immediate response within minutes, with our security analysts investigating and implementing containment measures concurrently.

High-severity threats receive investigation and initial response within 15-30 minutes. We maintain detailed response playbooks for common threat scenarios, enabling consistent, rapid response.

Can you integrate with our existing security tools?

We integrate with most enterprise security platforms including existing SIEM, endpoint detection, firewalls, and cloud security tools.

Rather than forcing technology replacement, we enhance the value of your current security investments by adding expert analysis, threat hunting, and response capabilities that most organisations struggle to maintain internally.
