MDR for MSPs: 24/7 security for your clients
Precursor provides managed detection and response for MSPs and IT service providers who want to offer clients 24/7 security cover without building a SOC of their own. The model is co-managed and vendor-agnostic: UK analysts from Precursor's CREST-accredited SOC run detection, investigation, and response behind your service while you keep the client relationship. Deployments are scoped per client from £900 per month, with licensing and integrations agreed in the service quote.
Your clients expect round-the-clock detection and response. Building a SOC means recruitment, shift cover, and tooling you cannot recover from SMB contracts. Precursor runs the SOC behind your service: you keep the relationship, we keep the watch.
Add a SOC to your stack without building one
The co-managed model splits the work where it belongs: you own the client, the contract, and the service desk; Precursor owns detection, investigation, and authorised response.
Your service, our analysts
UK analysts from Precursor’s CREST-accredited SOC in Newcastle run detection, investigation, and response behind your service. Your clients deal with you; escalation paths and response permissions are agreed per client during onboarding.
Works with each client stack
Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, and existing SIEM or cloud tooling integrate via API. No forced migrations across your client base.
Nights, weekends, holidays
Threats detected out of hours receive priority investigation and authorised containment under each client’s agreed response plan, without you running a shift rota.
Priced per client deployment
Each deployment is scoped and quoted on endpoints, log sources, and response requirements, from £900 per month. A per-user planning band of £11 to £22 per month lets you price your own service wrap before you commit.
Cyber risk management for managed service providers
Cyber risk management decides which threats matter to a client and what they spend to reduce them. MDR is the operational control on the impact side of that equation: 24/7 detection and response shortens attacker dwell time, which lowers the chance that one intrusion becomes a reportable incident. For an MSP, that reframes security from a staffing problem your clients cannot solve into a service line you can sell.
The co-managed model also answers the question clients ask their MSP first: who is watching at 2am? Detection, investigation, and containment run under agreed response permissions, and your reporting carries the evidence for client boards, insurers, and auditors.
Built on the same Resilien service your direct clients use
MDR for MSPs runs on Precursor’s Resilien MDR: the same CREST-accredited UK SOC, the same analysts, the same agreed response procedures. Start with one client deployment and scale as your service grows.
