Continuous detection and response, run together with your people. The capability without building a full SOC team yourself, while you stay the owner.
Key challenges
A detection capability needs people who tune, hunt and respond every day. Staffing that team in-house and keeping it is the real problem.
10
people for an in-house round-the-clock roster
A round-the-clock roster with two analysts per shift quickly needs eight to ten people, on top of management, specialisms and turnover. For most mid-market organisations that is cost-prohibitive, and the talent shortage does not make it easier.

60%
of alerts are never investigated
Alerts pile up, capacity is finite and the majority are never investigated. Whoever cannot keep up with the queue chases the wrong things. The cadence of tuning and hunting needs hands that are there continuously, not fitted in between other tasks.

65%
of analysts consider leaving
Burnout and turnover are structural in detection work: a large share of analysts consider leaving. With every departure the knowledge of your estate walks out the door, and the cadence that was built stalls until the vacancy is filled.

Regulators and leadership do not ask whether a team is in place today. They ask whether the detection still runs next month and next year, whether you have not become dependent on a single provider or a single person, and whether the monitoring spend is aligned to the risk. That is the question of continuity, not of coverage.
The difference
Not who works the controls, but whether you get the capability without building a team you cannot staff, and without losing control to a black box.
Two extremes: stand up an in-house team you cannot staff, or give it all away to a service that takes the cadence out of your hands. One is unworkable, the other costs you the control.
Our seniors run the cadence alongside your team, not in its place. You build the capability without having to recruit and retain a full SOC team, and without handing the detection away.
In-house, the team is too small for round-the-clock coverage. With a black-box service you do not know who is watching, how senior they are, or how many accounts that same analyst runs at once.
The same seniors who set the cadence also run it: detection engineering, tuning, threat hunting and triage. No anonymous Tier 1 who drops off the moment it gets hard.
If the key person leaves, the cadence stalls. Switch provider and the knowledge build-up starts over. The capability sits in heads, not in the process.
The cadence, the runbooks and the detection content are documented and transferable. If someone drops away, the detection runs on. The capability stays yours, even when the make-up changes.
Running it yourself means carrying all the load. A black-box service takes the load, but also the view: you get alerts over the fence and do not know how the detection is built.
You keep ownership and view: the detection is yours, the choices we make together, the execution is traceable. No lock-in, no black box, but hands that run alongside you continuously.
How it works
On the left, what feeds detection; in the middle, the cadence we run together; on the right, what you keep. No rip-and-replace: we connect to the stack you already have.
The distinction
Between building it all yourself and giving it all away sits a third way: we run the cadence with your team, not in its place. You get the capability without recruiting a full SOC team, and without losing control to a black box.
That works because the quality of detection does not sit in the tool, but in the people and the process: who tunes, who hunts, who acts on the alert. By running that cadence together and securing it in process, you build a capability that holds when the make-up changes.
No rip-and-replace. Your existing SIEM, EDR and tooling stay in place; we connect and run the cadence on them. A tool or service is a means, not an end.
The detection is yours, not the provider’s who runs alongside. The cadence, the runbooks and the content are documented and transferable. No black box, no lock-in: you can carry it on yourself at any moment.
Not a report saying monitor your estate with the execution left to you, not an outsourced Tier 1 who drops off the moment it gets hard. The same senior who decides what must be detected runs the cadence and hands it over to your team.
From practice
A large association detected only once something had already broken, with no coverage outside office hours. We brought 24/7 co-managed detection and response, with senior expertise alongside their own team.

Not a multi-year SOC build plan. One conversation in which we decide what you must reliably detect, and how we run the cadence together so you get the capability without losing control.
