Enterprise Cybersecurity That Detects, Responds & Protects

Depending on environment complexity and platform choice, a functional SOC can be operational in 8–16 weeks. A basic Sentinel-based SOC with 50 use cases can go live in as little as 6 weeks, while a full enterprise Splunk ES SOC with custom SOAR automation typically requires 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed build timeline during the scoping phase. Our phased delivery approach ensures you have monitoring coverage from Week 3, even before full operationalisation.

SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) is the technology platform that collects, correlates, and alerts on security events. MDR (Managed Detection & Response) is a managed service where a team of human analysts and AI continuously monitors your environment, investigates alerts, and actively responds to threats. Most enterprises need both — SIEM provides the visibility, while MDR provides the human-led response capability that turns alerts into action. Sourcemash delivers both as integrated services.

This is one of the most common questions we receive. Microsoft E5 includes Azure Sentinel and Defender XDR, which provide excellent native coverage for Microsoft workloads. Splunk remains the preferred choice for environments with diverse non-Microsoft infrastructure (Linux, OT/SCADA, multi-cloud, legacy systems) where its data onboarding flexibility and use-case depth is superior. Many of our clients use both — Sentinel for Microsoft data and Splunk for broader coverage. We help you make the right architectural decision based on your specific environment and budget.

Our MDR service includes tiered SLAs based on threat severity: Critical threats (ransomware, APT activity) — 15-minute detection-to-notification SLA with 1-hour containment commitment. High-severity threats — 30-minute notification, 4-hour response. Medium and low severity — same-business-day response. For IR retainer clients, we guarantee a 2-hour mobilisation for declared incidents. All SLAs are backed by contractual service credits and are reported monthly in our client dashboards.

Our threat hunters operate using the MITRE ATT&CK framework as the primary methodology, mapping hunts to specific tactics, techniques, and sub-techniques relevant to your industry's threat actors. We combine hypothesis-led hunting (based on threat intelligence about active adversaries targeting your sector) with data-led hunting (anomaly detection algorithms identifying behavioural deviations). Monthly hunt reports document findings, investigated TTPs, and any hardening recommendations arising from each hunt cycle.

Yes. Our security practice includes a dedicated GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) team with ISO 27001 Lead Implementers and Lead Auditors on staff. We provide gap assessments against ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, NIST CSF, GDPR, HIPAA, and RBI cybersecurity frameworks. We can serve as your implementation partner through the entire certification journey — from gap assessment to policy development, technical control implementation, and supporting your external audit. Our SOC operations also generate the continuous monitoring evidence required for SOC 2 attestation.

Our MDR service is priced based on endpoint count, data volume (GB/day ingested), and coverage tier (business hours vs 24×7). For reference, a 24×7 MDR service for 1,000 endpoints with Sentinel integration typically starts at $15,000–$25,000 per month, while CrowdStrike-based MDR at the same scale ranges from $20,000–$35,000 per month depending on configuration. All pricing includes analyst coverage, platform management, monthly threat reports, and quarterly business reviews. We always provide a detailed statement of work and fixed pricing — no surprise bills. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your environment.
