Microsoft-Native Managed Detection and Response

We operate inside the Microsoft tools you already own, so your data always stays in your tenant. No additional platform needed.

Most MDR providers watch for and respond to security threats. Accelerynt actively partners with you to prevent attackers from succeeding.

Here’s what that starts with, and how we go further inside your environment.

Every MDR Provider Should Deliver These Capabilities

Managed Detection and Response is a security service that combines technology and human expertise to monitor your environment, investigate threats, and respond to attacks around the clock.

24/7 Monitoring
Your environment is watched around the clock across endpoints, cloud, identity, and email.
Threat Detection
Alerts are generated from real-time analysis of security data, not just signature matching.
Investigation
Human analysts investigate alerts, determine scope, and identify root cause.
Threat Hunting
Analysts proactively search for hidden threats that haven’t triggered an alert.
Containment
When a threat is confirmed, the team acts to stop it from spreading.
Response Guidance
Your team knows what happened, how the attacker got in, and what to do next.
Tool Integration
The service works with your existing security stack, not against it.

Here’s how our operating model is different.

How We Deliver MDR

There are two ways to deliver MDR. Most providers build their own platform and move your data into it. We work inside your Microsoft tenant.

Traditional MDR
Accelerynt MDR
Provider installs agents on your machines.
Our operators connect through Azure Lighthouse.
Your log data moves to the provider’s cloud.
Your data stays in your tenant. Nothing moves.
Their proprietary engine analyzes your data.
We build detection rules directly in your Sentinel.
You view results in their portal.
You see everything in your own Microsoft environment.
You learn a new platform.
Your team uses the tools they already know.
If the relationship ends, your history and playbooks stay with them.
Everything we build is yours. Always.

The operating model you choose affects more than detection quality. Every additional platform adds cost and complexity. Our model works inside what you already own. Your investment in Microsoft security goes further without adding another vendor to manage.

Our detection rules and playbooks are built inside your Sentinel workspace. They’re all public on GitHub.

Speed Gap Metrics
ATTACKER BREAKOUT 29 minutes average [1]
INDUSTRY MTTC (MANUAL) 8 to 12 hours average [1] [2]
ACCELERYNT MTTC Minutes, not hours. Guaranteed.*
*MTTC guarantees require Stage 2 engagement with documented containment authority.

Detection and Containment Speed

When an attacker gains initial access, they move to a second machine in an average of 29 minutes [1]. Most organizations take eight to 12 hours to contain the threat manually. Pre-authorized automation inside your tenant closes that gap at machine speed.

We respond quickly because our teams agree on threat response protocols before an incident happens. When a threat matches those agreed-upon criteria, our team acts immediately inside your tenant.

What You Get With Accelerynt

Active Drift Control

We establish your security baseline together, then verify your configurations against it on a regular cycle. When something drifts, we find it and work with your team to fix it.

Tool Consolidation

We identify the security tools that overlap with what your Microsoft licenses already include. When you can see the overlap clearly, you can decide which tools to keep and which ones to cut.

Your Team Gets Stronger

Your team works with ours through every finding and every remediation, building deeper expertise in your own Microsoft security environment.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

We provide the documented evidence auditors require: control effectiveness, configuration state, and incident response records mapped to NIST CSF, HIPAA, SOC 2, and MITRE ATT&CK.

Contractual Guarantees:

We publish measurable SLAs on detection quality and containment speed at each stage.

Drift control, native operations, and pre-authorized containment work together inside your tenant.

Frequently Asked Questions

MDR is a security service where expert operators monitor, investigate, and respond to threats in your environment 24/7. With Accelerynt, that team works inside your existing Microsoft tools, hunts for hidden threats, and contains attacks before they cause damage.
MDR and SOC operations serve different functions. SOC as a Service provides operational coverage: monitoring, SIEM management, configuration governance, and compliance reporting. MDR adds proactive threat hunting, incident investigation, and rapid containment. With Accelerynt, MDR also includes finding and fixing configuration gaps and working inside your own tools. We offer both services separately.
Most MDR providers require a proprietary platform that moves your data to their cloud. We operate inside your Microsoft tenant through Azure Lighthouse. Your data never leaves, you see everything we do, and everything we build is yours. We also monitor for configuration drift, which most providers don’t address.
MDR pricing varies by environment size, coverage scope, and service level. Accelerynt provides predictable pricing with no hidden costs. We also identify overlapping security tools in your environment that can be consolidated, which often reduces your overall security spend.
