Managed detection & response

Connect threat detection with investigation, ownership and a response plan. Strata Digital helps UK businesses scope managed detection and response around their endpoints, existing security tools and the impact an incident could have on their work.

Built around your business

Give security alerts a clear next step

Security tools can produce alerts without giving a business a clear view of what happened or who should act. An alert might concern an isolated device, compromised access or behaviour that needs further investigation. The value comes from understanding that context and following an agreed response process.

We assess the systems in scope, the protection already in place and how a selected managed security service fits the environment. Huntress is one of our technology partners. Product selection, monitoring coverage and the authority to take action are defined in the service plan, alongside the responsibilities retained by your organisation.

The work behind the outcome

What we help you put in place

Endpoint visibility

Identify the laptops, desktops and other supported systems that need coverage. Establish how devices are enrolled, how gaps are detected and who is responsible when equipment stops reporting or falls outside the agreed scope.

Alert investigation

Agree how relevant detections are reviewed and escalated. The process should distinguish routine information from issues that need a business decision, without assuming every alert is evidence of a successful attack.

Response responsibilities

Define who can authorise actions such as isolating a device, changing access or involving another supplier. Connect these decisions with the business impact and the information needed to support an investigation.

Improvement after an event

Use findings to review configuration, user access and recurring weaknesses. Record the corrective work, its owner and any follow-up checks so the response leads to a more resilient environment.

From the first conversation to handover

How the work takes shape

Define the coverage

Review devices, existing controls and important applications. Agree the selected technology and the monitoring and response responsibilities that come with it.

Prepare the response

Document contacts, escalation thresholds and approval authority. Check that the organisation knows what to do when a significant alert is raised.

Review what changes

Keep scope and contacts current as devices and staff change. Review useful reporting alongside the wider security improvement plan.

Your proposal sets out the systems, deliverables, responsibilities and service arrangements included. We agree these before work begins.

Your questions, answered

Your questions about
managed detection & response

Something else on your mind?

Talk to us
Does this replace all our other security controls?

No. Detection and response complements appropriate access controls, updates, email protection, awareness and recovery arrangements. We review how these layers work together before recommending a product or service.

Is Huntress included automatically?

Huntress services can be considered as part of the solution. The products, licences, supported systems and service coverage included in your proposal are agreed explicitly before deployment.

Does monitoring mean our users have round-the-clock IT support?

Security monitoring and user support are separate service responsibilities. The hours and response arrangements for each must be stated in your agreement; one does not automatically imply the other.
