Security Operations
Service
Managed Detection and Response
Managed detection, threat hunting, investigation, and coordinated response focused on the activity that deserves action.
01 / Service overview
Managed Detection and Response adds experienced analysts and a defined investigation workflow around endpoint and connected security telemetry. Suspicious activity is validated, enriched, and examined in context before it reaches your team.
When a credible threat is found, Outfaze helps establish the affected users and assets, explains the available evidence, and coordinates containment guidance through agreed escalation paths. Your team receives a prioritized incident—not another unfiltered alert.
Connected investigation context
Final coverage confirmed during scoping
02 / Capability
Combine proactive hunting with analyst-led validation, incident scoping, and clear response coordination.
Look proactively for suspicious patterns, attacker behavior, and hidden activity that may not trigger a high-confidence alert on its own.
Separate routine noise and false positives from credible threats using telemetry, asset context, and analyst judgment.
Identify affected users, endpoints, identities, and connected activity so your team understands the likely reach and urgency.
Coordinate practical next actions through the agreed authority model, escalation contacts, and response workflow.
03 / Delivery
Coverage, severity criteria, response authority, and communications are agreed before ongoing operations begin.
Onboard the agreed endpoint and security telemetry, then confirm visibility and operating readiness.
Apply detection logic, threat intelligence, and proactive analysis to identify suspicious activity.
Validate the signal, reconstruct relevant activity, and establish affected users, assets, and likely impact.
Escalate with evidence, recommend containment actions, and use the outcome to improve future coverage.
04 / Outcomes
The service is shaped around your current technology, risk, internal responsibilities, and the decisions your team needs to make.
Operating fit
Agreed before delivery begins
Final inclusions, tooling dependencies, coverage, and response authority are documented in the agreed service scope.
05 / Scope checks
A service becomes dependable when coverage, authority, evidence, and change control are explicit. These are useful checks for the proposal and onboarding plan.
For Managed Detection and Response, the proposed coverage includes endpoints, identity, email, cloud, network, threat intelligence. The agreement should identify the systems and owners behind each area, the access or telemetry needed, the validation performed during onboarding, and the process for detecting and resolving a silent coverage failure.
Capabilities such as threat hunting, alert validation, incident scoping, containment guidance can involve very different levels of authority. The written scope should distinguish analysis from action, name required approvers and backup contacts, explain after-hours escalation, and record what the customer must perform after a recommendation.
The delivery sequence—connect, hunt and detect, investigate, coordinate—should produce reviewable decisions rather than activity alone. Ask which records will show coverage health, findings, escalations, accepted risk, completed actions, and recurring gaps, then assign an owner and review cadence to each open item.
06 / Questions
Final answers depend on your environment and agreed scope. These are practical starting points for the first conversation.
Managed Detection and Response is an ongoing security service that combines technology, threat hunting, analyst-led alert validation, investigation, escalation, and response support. It helps organizations identify and handle credible threats without operating the entire capability alone.
MDR focuses on the managed detection, investigation, hunting, and response outcome. A SOC is the broader security-operations function, while XDR is a technical approach for correlating signals across multiple security domains. The capabilities can work together in one operating model.
Yes, where the tools provide supported access and useful telemetry. Scoping starts with your current endpoint, identity, network, cloud, email, and security platforms so coverage can build on existing investments.
Outfaze follows the agreed severity and escalation workflow. Your designated contacts receive the available evidence, affected assets, impact context, and recommended containment or remediation actions. Response authority is documented before service launch.
