untrusted behavior. With real-time monitoring and evaluation of alerts,
potential threats or breaches are quickly identified and actioned on.

THE BENEFITS OF MCRR


ADDRESS CONTROLS & SIGNALS COVERAGE GAPS

MDR and SOCs are only as good as the signals they receive. MCRR uncovers gaps in
EDR, SIEM, and XDR controls coverage, ensuring the security operations center
(SOC) receives expected signals.


RISK-INFORMED DECISION MAKING

MCRR helps you intelligently align risk acceptance with your organization’s risk
appetite, enabling informed decision-making based on the security investments
that have the largest reduction impact.


BENCHMARK SECURITY MATURITY

Know organizational security maturity in comparison to industry peer
organizations, aligned to industry frameworks like National Institute of
Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF).


IDENTIFY ASSETS REQUIRING PROTECTION

measures can be implemented.


MEASURABLE PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS

Confidentially demonstrate measurable security improvements over time to see
your advancements and the impact of organizational investments.

Proactively understand your cyber maturity and risk levels through
framework-based risk assessments. Consolidate cyber risk assessments conducted

SAFEGUARDING YOUR VALUABLE ASSETS

Through continuous monitoring, we categorize your assets for you from “stable
and flexible” to “unaware or lacking resources”. Our comprehensive approach
ensures that every valuable element in your system receives the safeguarding it
truly deserves.


RAPID RESPONSE TO CONTAIN POTENTIAL INCIDENTS

When we detect potential security issues, we act promptly to control the
situation by isolating affected systems, removing harmful code, and blocking
unauthorized access using agreed-upon service level agreements (SLA). Our goal
is to minimize the time these incidents can linger, reducing risk exposure.


CYBER RISK-RANKED RECOMMENDATIONS

Empower your organization with a risk-ranked list of actions, personalized
recommendations, and dedicated support. Maximize your cyber risk reduction per
dollar invested and confidently address the biggest risks with precision and
effectiveness.
