SECURITY OPERATIONS & MDR

Detection, response, and Zero Trust access

We operate the security stack so your team doesn't have to. Identity-first access, segmented networks, monitored endpoints, and a 24×7 detection and response capability that answers the question buyers actually have: "if something happens at 2 AM, what does RUTE do?"

What's in scope

A modern security operating model with named owners, written playbooks, and audit-ready evidence, mapped to the frameworks your industry actually uses.

Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

24×7 monitoring across endpoints, identity, network, and cloud. Tuned alerts, named analysts, and contracted response actions, not just notifications dropped over the wall.

Zero Trust & identity-first access

SSO, MFA, conditional access, device posture, and least-privilege entitlements wired into your identity provider. Access decisions made per-request, not per-perimeter.

Endpoint detection & response (EDR)

Modern EDR/XDR platforms (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender) with hardening baselines, isolation playbooks, and automated containment for known patterns.

Network segmentation & SASE

Next-gen firewall policy, microsegmentation for sensitive workloads, ZTNA for remote access, and SASE for distributed users, replacing flat trust with explicit policy.

Vulnerability management

Continuous scanning across endpoints, servers, and external attack surface, with risk-based prioritization (CISA KEV, EPSS), remediation SLAs, and exception handling.

Compliance evidence & audit support

Mapped controls and continuous evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CMMC. We work alongside your auditor, not against them.

What changes after we're operating

Detection that triggers in minutes, not days

Tuned alerting and named analysts mean unauthorized changes, credential abuse, and lateral movement get spotted before they spread.

Identity, not network, becomes the perimeter

MFA enforced on 100% of admin accounts in the first 30 days. Conditional access blocks risky sign-ins automatically.

Audit-ready evidence on demand

When the auditor asks, the answer is a folder, not a fire drill. SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS evidence stays current.

A real plan for ransomware day

Tested isolation playbooks, immutable backups, and a contact tree we've actually rehearsed, not an unread Word document.

What you receive on paper

Security architecture document

Identity, network, endpoint, and cloud controls with named owners and the rationale behind each decision.

Incident response playbooks

Isolation, eradication, recovery, and communication procedures for the top categories, written so your team can run them under pressure.

Compliance control matrix

Cross-walk to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / NIST CSF / HIPAA / PCI DSS, with the evidence source for each control.

Monthly security report

Detection volumes, response actions taken, MTTR, top risks, vulnerability backlog, and what we recommend prioritizing next.

Quarterly tabletop exercise

A live walk-through of a credible incident scenario with your team, with a written readout and action items.

Common questions

What does "24×7 MDR" actually buy me at 2 AM on a Saturday?

A named analyst sees the alert, follows the runbook for that signature class, and takes contracted response actions (host isolation, account disablement, network containment) without waiting for your team. You wake up to a written readout, not an unfinished investigation.

Do you support SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or CMMC?

All of them. We map controls to the framework your industry uses, collect continuous evidence into a single source of truth, and work alongside your auditor or assessor. We don't replace the auditor; we make their job take days, not weeks.

We already have an EDR platform. Do we have to change it?

No. We operate CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, and several other platforms. We'll tune what you have first, and only recommend a swap if there's a measurable gap in coverage or cost.

How do you handle a real breach?

We follow a documented IR plan: contain first, then preserve evidence, then eradicate. You get a dedicated incident commander, a stakeholder communication channel, regular updates on a contracted cadence, and a written post-incident review within five business days.

Do you cover OT, IoT, or industrial systems?

We do, segmentation and monitoring for OT/IoT environments, with vendor-neutral tooling (Claroty, Nozomi, Armis, or similar). We're explicit about scope, since OT incident response has different rules than IT.
