ISO 27001 Certified MDR Providers
MDR providers with ISO 27001 certification demonstrating information security management best practices.
What to verify
- −ISO 27001 certification is awarded to the organization, not a product. Verify the scope covers MDR operations specifically.
- −Ask for the certification body name and check it is accredited. Not all certification bodies are equal.
- −ISO 27001 requires annual surveillance audits and full re-certification every 3 years. Check currency.
- −The Statement of Applicability (SoA) defines which controls are in scope. Request it to verify coverage.
77 providers
Ackcent Cybersecurity
Gartner-recognized European boutique MDR with native Spanish support and bring-your-own-EDR flexibility. Good fit if you want a smaller, relationship-driven provider in the Iberian or LATAM markets. Trade-off: almost nothing is publicly documented, so due diligence relies heavily on direct engagement.
Arctic Wolf
The Concierge Security Team model is Arctic Wolf's core differentiator: a named team that knows your environment and provides proactive security reviews. Technology-agnostic design avoids vendor lock-in, and the $3M warranty is the industry's largest. The trade-off is limited data transparency, guided (not hands-on) remediation, no published detection benchmarks, and a 71% false alarm rate by their own reporting.
Armor
Armor's niche is regulated cloud workloads where Microsoft Sentinel is already deployed. Compliance consulting in HIPAA, PCI, and HITRUST is a genuine differentiator. The trade-off: you are locked into both the Trend Micro agent and the Microsoft security stack, and there is almost no independent review data to validate the service quality.
Barracuda Networks
Purpose-built for the MSP channel with multi-tenant management, SentinelOne-powered endpoint security, and a 24/7 global SOC. Natural fit for MSPs serving SMB clients who need turnkey XDR. Less proven for direct enterprise buyers. Detection claims lack independent validation and security logs are not downloadable.
Bitdefender MDR
MITRE-validated detection quality on a single-vendor GravityZone platform with 3 global SOCs and competitive per-endpoint pricing. The trade-off is full vendor lock-in to GravityZone, no third-party EDR support, and XDR sensor licenses that add cost if you need coverage beyond endpoints.
Bridewell
Strong choice for UK/EU Critical National Infrastructure needing Microsoft-native MDR with NCSC/CREST credentials and OT/ICS expertise. Trade-offs: Microsoft platform dependency, limited pricing transparency, no breach warranty, no published detection metrics, and integration uncertainty following I-Tracing merger.
Check Point
Best fit for Check Point infrastructure customers who want their MDR team to operate on the same platform they already use. The MDR 360 tier adds genuine vendor-neutral flexibility. Trade-offs: premium pricing, licensing complexity, and no published MDR service metrics (only XDR platform metrics from MITRE).
Cipher*
Cipher xMDR fits buyers that want a vendor-neutral MDR service backed by Prosegur and delivered through a central xMDR platform. The main diligence items are pricing, named integrations, exact SOC delivery model, approval rules and what response work is included.
Critical Start
Technology-agnostic MDR with TBR deterministic alert auto-resolution, 100+ integrations, OT/ICS support and two-person response validation. Participated in MITRE Engenuity managed services evaluation (2022 Round 1 only, not 2024 Round 2). Trade-off is fully opaque pricing, enterprise focus, no breach warranty and no Slack integration.
CrowdStrike
Top-tier detection speed and active remediation depth backed by MITRE-validated metrics, CrowdStrike threat intelligence, and a breach warranty up to $2M. Premium pricing reflects premium capability.
CyberCX
Regional ANZ leader with 9 CREST-accredited SOCs, ~1,400 security professionals, and Microsoft Advanced Specializations. Best suited for ANZ organizations already invested in or moving to the Microsoft security ecosystem. The trade-off: deep Microsoft expertise and strong regional presence vs. no autonomous response capability, no published metrics, and Accenture integration uncertainty.
Cyberleaf
Cyberleaf fits buyers that want a U.S.-based SOC to operate across endpoint, cloud, identity, network and SaaS signals while supporting compliance requirements. The trade-offs are custom pricing, limited independent review signal, no public MDR-specific SLA table and sales-order details that determine what response and threat-hunting work is included.
CyberOne
CyberOne is a credible UK Microsoft-stack specialist with CREST, NCSC, and Microsoft Verified MXDR credentials that matter for regulated UK buyers. Data stays in your own tenant, and the tiered pricing makes the service accessible to mid-market organisations. Trade-offs are meaningful: no peer reviews, no published detection metrics, no IR inclusion, and no coverage outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
Cyderes
Technology-agnostic MDR built on Google Chronicle with deep identity security integrations and three delivery models (client-managed through fully managed). Trade-off: opaque pricing, almost no public reviews, and a complex corporate history from multiple mergers.
Cynet
Best fit for SMB/mid-market teams wanting an all-in-one security platform with transparent pricing ($7-10/endpoint/month) and MDR included. Trade-off is full platform lock-in (must replace existing EDR), small company scale, and absence from Gartner MQ/Forrester Wave.
Cyrebro
Vendor-neutral MDR with its own detection engine and SOAR, fast deployment, and reported low false positive rates. Trade-off: single-region SOC, limited brand recognition, and support quality concerns noted in reviews.
Darktrace
AI-powered threat detection through Self-Learning AI that adapts to each environment's behavioral patterns, combined with Antigena autonomous response that contains threats in seconds. Broad attack surface coverage and technology-agnostic architecture suit complex environments. Trade-offs: premium pricing, high false positive tuning burden, steep learning curve, and the MDR service is new (June 2024) with limited independent reviews.
DeepSeas
Technology-agnostic MDR with OT/ICS coverage, which is rare in this market. Ideal for mid-market and enterprise buyers with attack surfaces spanning IT, cloud, and operational technology. Trade-off: no in-house incident response (uses external DFIR partners) and zero pricing transparency.
Deepwatch
SIEM-centric, vendor-agnostic MDR with patented DRS engine (98% FP reduction claim), dedicated Squad team per customer, and deep Splunk/Chronicle/Sentinel/Securonix expertise. Organizational instability (CEO change, 42% headcount cut, negative employee reviews) warrants explicit due diligence on service continuity.
Defendable
Defendable MDR fits Nordic buyers that want Norwegian SOC monitoring, Microsoft Sentinel-friendly operations, proactive threat hunting and incident-response depth. The main diligence items are custom pricing, log retention cost, response authority and where MDR ends versus the incident-response retainer.
DTS Solution*
DTS HawkEye is a useful regional option for buyers that want managed CSOC, XDR, threat hunting and optional OT monitoring from a UAE-based services firm. The main diligence items are pricing, package limits, response authority, DFIR/SOAR scope and the exact contractual SLA behind real-time notification language.
Ensign InfoSecurity
APAC's largest pure-play cybersecurity services provider with SOCs in five countries, local language support, and APAC-specific threat intelligence. Newly launched Agentic SOC adds AI-assisted triage. Trade-offs: guided response only (your team executes remediation), IR is a separate retainer, no published detection metrics, and limited visibility outside the region.
eSentire
eSentire excels at active, hands-on response and publicly reports 15-minute containment. The multi-signal Atlas XDR platform and dedicated threat hunters make it a strong choice for organizations that want their MDR provider to take direct action across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity surfaces.
ESET
Low 25-device minimum makes MDR accessible to small businesses, backed by 30+ years of ESET threat research. Best fit for organizations willing to adopt or already using the ESET PROTECT ecosystem. The trade-off is full platform lock-in and detection metrics that haven't been independently validated to the same standard as CrowdStrike or Palo Alto.
Expel
API-first, vendor-agnostic MDR with 160+ integrations and full transparency into every SOC action via Workbench. Ideal for tech-forward organizations that want to keep their existing security tools and add a managed detection layer. Trade-off: threat hunting and incident response are add-ons, not included in base pricing, and no breach warranty.
Field Effect
MITRE-validated detection (11-min MTTD) with published per-user pricing range and fast onboarding. Ex-CSE intelligence founders. Strong fit for SMBs and MSPs wanting affordable, independently validated MDR.
Foresite Cybersecurity*
Google Cloud SecOps specialist with deep Chronicle SIEM and compliance automation expertise. Best for mid-market GCP customers needing CMMC/HIPAA/PCI alignment with managed detection. Trade-offs: human-in-the-loop response slows containment vs. autonomous platforms, high upfront deployment costs ($25K-$100K), single SOC site in Kansas with no geographic redundancy, and limited public documentation of specific response actions.
Gradient Cyber
Mid-market specialist that owns its platform, SOC, and analyst team. 99% false positive elimination and 10:1 analyst ratio (both vendor-published) prioritize signal quality over noise. Active response capability includes endpoint isolation, process termination, quarantine, and rollback through integrated EDR agents, with response authority configurable per pre-agreed policies. Also covers maritime OT environments. Limited community feedback and no published detection speed metrics make independent validation difficult.
Help AG
Help AG fits Middle East buyers that want sovereign MDR with local SOC delivery, automation and DFIR depth. The main diligence items are custom pricing, exact response authority, contractual SLA figures, which automation actions are included and whether the service scope fits buyers outside the UAE and KSA.
InfoGuard
InfoGuard fits DACH buyers that want a Swiss services firm to run MDR, co-managed SOC and CSIRT-backed response. The main diligence items are custom pricing, exact response authority, named tool integrations and whether incident-response retainer scope is bundled or separate.
Innofactor MDRaaS
Innofactor MDRaaS fits Microsoft-heavy Nordic buyers that want Sentinel-based monitoring while keeping logs and incidents in their own Azure environment. The trade-offs are custom pricing, endpoint and network add-ons plus response authority that needs explicit contract language.
Integrity360
CREST-accredited European MDR with seven SOCs and a proprietary detection platform that works with the customer's existing tools. Backed by August Equity with an active acquisition strategy (nine acquisitions in four years). Trade-off: no published detection metrics, virtually zero community review presence, and North American coverage is limited to a January 2026 Canadian acquisition.
ITC Secure
ITC Secure fits buyers that want Microsoft-centered MXDR with Pulse portal visibility, service reporting and advisory depth from the same provider. The main diligence items are custom pricing, exact component inclusion, response authority and how much incident response is included versus sold separately.
Kroll
Kroll Responder's differentiator is depth of real-world IR experience: 3,000+ annual breach investigations feeding detection and response. This is a services firm with MDR, not an MDR vendor with services. Complete Response methodology, included $1M breach warranty, and direct escalation to IR/forensics teams set it apart. December 2025 CrowdStrike migration brings faster response but increases platform dependency.
Kudelski Security
Technology-agnostic MDR with strong analyst recognition (Gartner 8 years, Forrester, Bloor) and one of the few dedicated OT/ICS MDR offerings on the market. Swiss parent company adds stability. The trade-off: almost no community validation, no public pricing, and detection metrics that haven't been independently tested.
LevelBlue
The largest pure-play MSSP by revenue ($1B+) with the deepest compliance credentials in MDR (FedRAMP, PCI DSS QSA, StateRAMP) and SpiderLabs, a 1,000+ person offensive security team. Cybereason's 100% MITRE ATT&CK detection adds real substance. Trade-off: five acquisitions in two years created a fragmented portfolio of unintegrated platforms, and integration execution remains unproven.
LMNTRIX
All-inclusive pricing and integrated deception technology are the main reasons to evaluate LMNTRIX. Performance claims are aggressive but unvalidated. Best for cost-conscious mid-market buyers willing to trade brand-name safety for lower cost and a smaller vendor.
LRQA Nettitude
LRQA Nettitude is strongest where MDR is part of a wider assurance, testing and incident-response program. CREST SOC certification, broad CREST accreditations and current NCSC CIR assurance make it credible for regulated and UK buyers. The trade-off is a custom, scope-dependent service with limited public detail on pricing, response authority, SOC locations and measured detection performance.
Mandiant
Threat intelligence-driven MDR backed by 500+ intel analysts, frontline IR experience, and Google Cloud infrastructure. Best for enterprises facing sophisticated threats who need detection backed by the organization that publishes the industry's most-cited threat intelligence report (M-Trends). Premium pricing and separate IR retainer are the main trade-offs.
mnemonic
mnemonic MDR fits European buyers that want an Argus-based service with Microsoft, CrowdStrike, Wiz, network and OT-oriented coverage. The trade-off is commercial opacity, since public materials do not publish prices, fixed SLA terms, warranty terms or all standard containment actions.
NCC Group
Consultancy-backed MXDR with Fox-IT's 20+ year SOC heritage and embedded IR team. Best for European enterprise and government buyers running Sentinel or Splunk who want detection depth and IR capability in one provider. Forrester and IDC both recognize the technical quality. Trade-off: only two SIEMs supported, no public reviews from MDR customers, no breach warranty, and MDR is one of many NCC Group business lines.
Nomios
Nomios MDR fits European buyers that value EU data hosting, a visitable Dutch SOC and a choice between packaged Cortex XDR MDR and a custom service around existing tools. The trade-off is pricing and SLA opacity: tiers are public, but amounts, service-credit language and breach warranty terms are not.
Northwave
Northwave MDR fits European buyers that want a SOC service connected to incident response, red team and threat intelligence work. The trade-offs are custom pricing, limited public detail on exact response actions and less explicit SaaS, identity and cloud coverage than endpoint and network monitoring.
NTT Security Holdings
Global SOC coverage, OT/ICS monitoring, and threat intelligence from 40% of global IP prefixes. Vendor-agnostic and works with existing tools. Trade-offs: active response limited to endpoint isolation, no published detection metrics, premium pricing, and regional inconsistency in service quality.
NVISO
NVISO MDR fits European buyers that want a security-operations partner with MDR, CSIRT, threat hunting and advisory depth rather than a narrow endpoint-only service. The trade-off is commercial opacity, since pricing, fixed SLA terms, breach warranty and named containment actions are not published.
Obrela
Good fit for European/MENA buyers who need OT or maritime MDR and are comfortable with a Microsoft-centric stack. Gartner and Forrester recognize them, and they publish operational metrics most competitors keep private. Trade-off: zero public customer reviews, completely opaque pricing across four tiers, threat hunting as an upsell, and no SOC presence outside Europe/MENA.
Ontinue
Microsoft-native MXDR with 99.5% AI-automated incident resolution and Teams-based collaboration. Data stays in your own Sentinel instance, giving full portability if you leave. Microsoft-only, not suitable for multi-vendor stacks.
Optiv
Optiv MDR is strongest when the buyer already has a complex stack and wants MDR as part of SOC modernization on Google Security Operations. The trade-off is commercial opacity: pricing, SLA terms, SOC staffing details and breach-warranty terms are not public, and total cost depends on telemetry volume plus optional services.
Palo Alto Networks
Enterprise MDR backed by Palo Alto Networks threat intelligence infrastructure (500B events/day, 200+ Unit 42 analysts) and Frost & Sullivan Leader recognition. Best for existing Palo Alto ecosystem customers wanting native, deeply integrated MDR. MSIAM 2.0 adds third-party EDR support and breach response guarantee. Significant prerequisite costs (Cortex XDR + Data Lake) and platform lock-in are the main trade-offs.
Proficio
The core differentiator is SIEM flexibility: Proficio works with your existing SIEM or hosts one for you, which avoids the rip-and-replace problem. They publish detection metrics, which is more transparent than most providers this size. Trade-off: automated response costs extra, peer reviews are scarce, and the small team may not suit large enterprises.
Quorum Cyber
The strongest Microsoft-native MDR option with a tiered model spanning SMB to enterprise, backed by CREST accreditation, Gartner recognition, and Microsoft MSSP of the Year. Data stays in your own Azure tenant. Trade-off: Microsoft-only (no third-party EDR/SIEM support), no published detection metrics or response SLAs, and very limited independent reviews.
r-tec IT Security
r-tec MDR fits German buyers that need 24x7 detection, incident-response depth and a path to OT MDR. The trade-offs are custom pricing, tier-dependent service hours and response actions that should be turned into written authority before signing.
Rapid7
Full SIEM data access with managed MDR, analyst pod model for environment familiarity, and Active Response via Velociraptor. Trade-off: requires 80%+ Insight Agent coverage (platform lock-in), 500-asset minimum, and the company is navigating a challenging period with declining revenue guidance and activist investor pressure.
Red Canary
Vendor-agnostic MDR with 9 EDR platform integrations and detection-as-code methodology, the broadest EDR support in the MDR market with strong analyst validation (Forrester Leader, G2 #1 satisfaction). Post-Zscaler acquisition: integrations maintained and product quality intact, but elevated customer churn and declining mindshare (4.2% to 2.9%) suggest some buyers are reconsidering.
Sapphire
Sapphire MDR is strongest for UK buyers that value local ownership, a CREST-accredited UK SOC and broader IT/OT security depth. The trade-offs are custom pricing, limited public SLA detail and response actions that need written confirmation.
SECUINFRA
Fits German and EU buyers that put data sovereignty first and want a partner that will work inside their own SIEM. Buyers outside DACH or those that need transparent SLAs and warranties will find more options in the larger pure-play field.
Secureworks
Open XDR MDR with broad integration, CTU threat intelligence (now Sophos X-Ops), strong MITRE results, and included unlimited remote IR. Post-Sophos acquisition: Taegis continues with active investment. Main risk is whether Sophos sustains enterprise Taegis investment long-term.
SecurityHQ
The core draw is keeping your existing EDR stack while adding SOC analyst coverage, backed by a credible MITRE evaluation showing low alert noise. The trade-off: guided response means your team does the remediation work, pricing is opaque and public reviews are scarce.
SentinelOne
Platform-native MDR for SentinelOne customers with $1M breach warranty, FedRAMP High, and Purple AI Athena agentic workflows. MITRE Managed Services: 100% detection with best signal-to-noise ratio. Key trade-off: strong platform technology but MDR service layer gets consistently lower marks than the platform itself, with false positive tuning and support quality as persistent concerns.
Six Degrees
Six Degrees MDR is strongest for UK organisations that want Microsoft-centred MDR delivered from a UK-onshore CSOC. The trade-offs are custom pricing, tier boundaries between MDA, MDR and MXDR, and limited public detail on exact response actions.
Smarttech247
Technology-agnostic MDR that works with your existing SIEM and EDR, with 100% MDR client retention in FY2024 and Gartner Market Guide recognition two years running. Publicly traded on AIM, giving buyers financial transparency rare among smaller MDR providers. The trade-off: tiny review footprint (13 Gartner reviews, zero on G2 or PeerSpot), opaque pricing, no MITRE validation, no breach warranty, and a ~160-person company competing against firms 10x its size.
Socura
UK-only MDR with CREST-accredited SOC, automated containment via SOAR, and technology-agnostic approach. 100% customer retention and 96% autonomous incident handling (vendor-reported) suggest strong operational execution. Trade-offs: very small company, no published detection metrics, UK-only SOC, and incident response via external partners.
Sophos
Platform vendor with unusually broad third-party integration support (350+ tools), all-in pricing on MDR Complete with full IR and $1M breach warranty, and #1 G2 MDR ranking for 14 consecutive quarters. Key trade-off: requires Sophos agent for full capabilities, dashboard-only data access (no raw query), and the Secureworks acquisition creates product roadmap uncertainty.
suresecure
suresecure fits DACH buyers that want a German services firm to run MDR and incident-response management on Google SecOps. The main diligence items are ongoing pricing, Google SecOps cost, response authority and whether proactive hunting is included.
Telefónica Tech
Telecom-backed MDR with 11 SOCs providing genuine follow-the-sun coverage, especially strong in Spain and Latin America. Configurable response model and affordable SMB tier are differentiators. Trade-offs: almost no public performance data, minimal community reviews outside home markets, primary reliance on CrowdStrike for EDR, and the parent company's own 2025 breach raises uncomfortable questions.
Tesorion
Tesorion MDR fits Dutch buyers that want local MDR delivered through T-SOC and backed by T-CERT, XDR, SOAR and threat intelligence. The trade-offs are custom pricing, limited public detail on exact response actions and unclear inclusion of incident-response support in the base MDR contract.
ThreatDown
One of the most affordable MDR options with fully published pricing ($99/endpoint/year). Fast deployment, MSP-first channel approach, and ransomware rollback/three-level isolation are genuine differentiators. Best fit for SMBs wanting endpoint MDR without enterprise complexity or cost.
ThreatSpike
ThreatSpike is compelling if the buyer wants consolidation: MDR, managed IT, 24/7 SOC, unlimited incident response and offensive testing under one fixed per-user subscription. The trade-off is that it behaves more like an IT-and-security operating model replacement than a conventional MDR overlay, with limited public detail on contractual SLAs, raw data access and exit portability.
Todyl
SASE, EDR, SIEM, MXDR, SOAR, and GRC in a single agent with a dedicated DRAM per customer. Built for MSPs willing to commit to one vendor in exchange for eliminating tool sprawl. Trade-off: total platform lock-in and limited independent validation.
Total Assure
Total Assure is strongest for SMB and regulated mid-market buyers that want a practical SOC team, not a large enterprise MDR program. Its public materials do a good job describing containment actions and onboarding. The main trade-offs are missing public pricing, thin independent reviews and limited contractual detail around SLA, warranty and third-party tool costs.
Trend Micro
Platform-native MDR backed by 20-year Gartner Leader status, 100% MITRE detection, and 450 threat researchers. Best for mid-market and enterprise Trend customers wanting unified visibility across all attack surfaces. Credit-based licensing and extensive integrations provide flexibility. Trade-off: platform lock-in, pooled analysts, no published response time metrics, and no breach warranty.
Truesec
Largest Nordic SOC with deep IR background (120,000+ hours, vendor-stated). MDR Black tier covers IR costs for breaches on monitored devices. Strong fit for Nordic enterprises wanting local expertise. Limited US presence and zero independent reviews make it hard to evaluate for North American buyers.
TrustNet GhostWatch
TrustNet GhostWatch is strongest where managed security and compliance need to move together. The trade-off is that public materials describe broad managed security more clearly than deep endpoint MDR, so response authority, EDR coverage and SLA terms need written confirmation.
UnderDefense
Works on top of your existing stack and keeps data in your infrastructure. Transparent $11/device starting price, 30-day onboarding, detection rules in portable Sigma format. The trade-off is a smaller company with no independent metric validation and almost no community visibility.
VikingCloud
Compliance-first provider with 35-year PCI heritage and the world's largest QSA practice (100+ assessors). Best suited for regulated verticals where compliance and security monitoring need to be tightly integrated under one vendor. The trade-off: MDR capabilities are poorly documented publicly, no validated detection metrics, proprietary platform lock-in, and the 4M customer figure is mostly compliance clients rather than MDR buyers.
WatchGuard*
WatchGuard MDR is strongest for MSPs that already standardize on WatchGuard or want a managed SOC option they can sell across smaller customers. Open MDR broadens the fit by supporting selected third-party tools, but buyers still need to check package scope, license dependencies and the lack of public SLA terms.
WithSecure
European-focused MDR for organizations prioritizing data sovereignty. Forrester gave highest scores in Innovation, Data Sovereignty, and Service Localization. NCSC CIR Level 1 is held by only 9 IR teams globally. Included IR at mid-market pricing is a concrete reason to evaluate it.
