Managed Cyber Security

A 24×7 Security Operations Centre that protects your organisation proactively, significantly reducing the risk of cyber attacks.

Bespoke managed security services

As the security landscape evolves, ensuring endpoints are protected, assets and data are kept secure as well as the ongoing management of other cybersecurity events can be a complex task. With this in mind, many organisations are now looking to outsource parts or all of their cybersecurity to a trusted security provider. Whether you’re looking for assistance in managing your security environment or are looking for a fully managed service our solutions have been designed to work for your requirements, without the need for you to build your own expensive security operations centre.

Transparity's Managed Security Services

Transparity believe that Perimeter Defence models for your IT infrastructure are no longer sufficient, and consider the requirement for a traditional, reactive Security Operations Centre to be the bare minimum for your organisation’s security needs. That’s why our SOC is built on three core security principles ; Zero Trust (never trust, always verify), Least Privilege (provide only the access required, and only for the duration needed) and Assume Breach (always assume users or systems will fail). It’s also manned 24×7 by cyber security experts and unlike most other SOCs, we proactively monitor and improve our customers’ security postures. We then analyse, respond to and remediate any security incidents detected.

Our training syllabus includes a high-level overview of the most common security threats an employee may encounter during their working lives. It is delivered biannually as standard, or more frequently if required, and supported by a detailed document that can be distributed or hosted on your company intranet.

All training is continually reviewed and updated by our internal security researchers as new threats are found, to ensure you always receive the very latest knowledge and innovation. We can also focus on specific topics or provide more in-depth training by request.

More about our managed Cyber Security Services

Transparity’s Managed Security Service leverages Microsoft Sentinel; Microsoft’s best-in-class, Cloud-native SIEM. It provides overarching security management, harvesting enriched signalling and telemetry data from all of your critical resources – not just from Azure and Microsoft 365 – correlating alerts from disparate sources and products to provide highly-accurate incident detection. These incidents provide our SOC with a detailed understanding of the threat timeline, point of entry, entities involved and impact.

Additionally, when you entrust your Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) licences to us you will receive our inclusive Standard Support Service from our team of Cloud specialists for all your Microsoft Cloud Services that are licensed through Transparity. There’s also the option to upgrade to our Advanced and Premium Services where desired.

FAQs

What is a managed security service provider?

A Managed Security Provider (MSP) is a third-party provider that offers outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems. Managed Security Providers typically use both human expertise and advanced technologies to deliver their services. 

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) focus on the management of an organisation’s IT infrastructure and services, offering a broad range of support including network management and IT operations. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) specialise in cybersecurity, providing services such as threat detection, security monitoring, and incident responses.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) are two approaches to cyber security management. 

Our MDR service has flexibility built in, as we work in partnership with you to detect and respond to security incidents. Our 24×7 SOC ingest security signals from Microsoft Sentinel around the clock, and in the event of an incident work with you in line with the rules of engagement to respond. Depending on the modules you choose this might be to disrupt an attack or to work closely with you through guided remediation. 

Our MXDR service, or Fully Managed Security Service, is designed to take the burden of security management off your hands. Working as an extension of your team our 24×7 SOC will work to detect and remediate incidents around the clock. Plus, using our threat intelligence capabilities we’ll continually harden your security posture against the latest threats.

You should choose rehosting if you want lower upfront costs and fast migration. However, refactoring is the better choice for organisations who are willing to take extra time to receive long-term benefits such as maximising cloud benefits and enjoying high level of scalability.
