Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
Continuous monitoring and response for organisations that will never staff a 24/7 security operations centre.

Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) Implementation
A SIEM with the right log sources, tuned detections, and ingest costs that do not spiral.
Overview
SIEM projects usually disappoint for two reasons: the log sources that would have caught the incident were never connected, and the ingest bill grew fast enough that someone started dropping data to control it.
We start from the detections you need, work backwards to the log sources that support them, and design retention tiers so high-value telemetry is searchable while bulk data is archived cheaply.
What you get
Detection-led design
Log sources chosen because they support specific detections, not because they were easy to connect.
Predictable cost
Tiered retention and filtering at the source, so ingest volume stays within budget without losing what matters.
Detections as code
Rules version-controlled, tested and deployed through a pipeline like any other code.
Coverage made visible
Detection coverage mapped against MITRE ATT&CK so the gaps are explicit rather than assumed.
How we work
- 01
Define
Threat scenarios and required detections agreed, which then determine the log sources needed.
- 02
Connect
Sources onboarded with parsing and normalisation validated rather than assumed to work.
- 03
Engineer
Detections written, tested against simulated activity, and tuned to remove predictable noise.
- 04
Operate
Dashboards, alert routing and a review cadence handed over, with cost monitored continuously.
Common questions
Which SIEM do you recommend?
Microsoft Sentinel suits Microsoft-heavy environments; cloud-native options are cost-effective for single-cloud estates; Splunk remains strong at scale. The right answer follows your existing estate.
How do we keep ingest costs down?
Filter at the source, route high-volume low-value logs to cheap archive storage, and keep only what supports a detection in the searchable tier.
Do we need a SIEM at all?
Not always. Smaller organisations often get further with well-configured cloud-native security services and an MDR arrangement.

Log Management & Analytics
Centralised, structured logs you can actually search at 3am, with retention that does not bankrupt you.
