Pricing
What costs extra
- –Exact MDR pricing requires a Six Degrees quote
- –Managed Detection and Alert, MDR and MXDR are separate managed-security tiers
- –Incident response, recovery consultancy, penetration testing, red teaming and vCISO work may be separate
- –Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure usage and Recorded Future scope may affect total cost
Cost caveats
- –The MDR and MXDR pages describe different coverage depth, so buyers should pin down which tier is in the order form.
- –Microsoft Sentinel data ingestion and retention can materially affect total cost.
- –Public pages do not publish response SLAs or named default response actions.
- –UK-onshore and security-cleared delivery may be valuable for regulated buyers but can make pricing less comparable with lower-cost global MDR providers.
Verify pricing directly with the provider.

Reputation
Six Degrees has limited MDR-specific community signal. The public buyer case is strongest for UK-onshore delivery, Microsoft security tooling and regulated-sector fit. Treat public claims around containment and response as credible enough for MDR eligibility, but confirm the exact tier, response authority and Microsoft cost model during procurement.
What customers praise
- ✓UK-onshore CSOC and SC-cleared analyst model
- ✓Strong Microsoft Defender and Sentinel alignment

Common complaints
