Managed detection & response · 24/7 UK security team
Attacks stopped at 2am, not discovered on Monday morning.
Managed detection and response (MDR) means a UK security team watches your laptops, servers, email and Microsoft 365 around the clock. When something suspicious happens, we investigate and contain it straight away, so a single click doesn't turn into days of downtime.
- Threats contained in minutes, day or night
- No security staff to hire
- Plain-English reports for insurers and clients

Security tools raise alerts. Someone has to act on them.
Most small businesses already have antivirus and Microsoft 365 security. The problem is that alerts go unread, attacks happen out of hours and nobody has time to investigate. MDR closes that gap.
Attacks happen out of hours
Criminals strike evenings and weekends, when nobody is watching the alerts.
Alerts go unread
Warnings from your security tools sit in an inbox until it's too late.
Stolen logins look normal
An attacker using a real password won't trip basic antivirus.
Hiring a team costs too much
A 24/7 in-house security team is out of reach for most SMEs.
What managed detection & response does for your business
Technology that spots attacks, plus people who stop them.
Watched 24 hours a day
Devices, email and Microsoft 365 are monitored continuously by our UK team.
Threats contained fast
Infected devices are isolated and malicious sessions shut down before they spread.
Compromised logins caught
Unusual sign-ins, impossible travel and mailbox rules are flagged and investigated.
Every alert investigated
Real people check what happened, so you're not chasing false alarms.
Evidence for insurers
Clear incident records and monthly reports for insurers, auditors and clients.
Plain-English updates
You hear what happened and what we did, without the jargon.
Antivirus blocks. MDR responds.
Antivirus is a lock on the door. MDR is the team that notices when someone gets in anyway, and throws them out.
