EDR / XDR Deployment & Management
Deploy, tune, and operate endpoint and extended detection platforms
What this engagement covers
The service
We deploy, harden, and actively manage your EDR/XDR platform - so you get real detection and response coverage, not just a license renewal.
What we test
Full lifecycle management of CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and similar platforms - policy tuning, exception hygiene, telemetry completeness, and response playbook coverage.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting EDR / XDR Deployment & Management with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within EDR / XDR Deployment & Management. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing EDR / XDR Deployment & Management.
Attack Surface & Vulnerability Vectors
Unprotected or disabled agents
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Unprotected or disabled agents across your EDR / XDR Deployment & Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Detection policy in prevention-off mode
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Detection policy in prevention-off mode across your EDR / XDR Deployment & Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Excessive global exclusions
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Excessive global exclusions across your EDR / XDR Deployment & Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Unmonitored server workloads
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Unmonitored server workloads across your EDR / XDR Deployment & Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Incomplete telemetry ingestion
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Incomplete telemetry ingestion across your EDR / XDR Deployment & Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Baseline assessment, policy hardening, rollout, and continuous tuning - with monthly posture reports and quarterly red-team validation against your deployed controls.
Current-state platform assessment
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting current-state platform assessment across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
Coverage gap analysis against MITRE ATT&CK
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting coverage gap analysis against mitre att&ck across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
Policy tuning and rollout
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting policy tuning and rollout across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
Detection content authoring
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting detection content authoring across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
Response playbook authoring
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting response playbook authoring across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
Continuous tuning and exception review
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting continuous tuning and exception review across your edr / xdr deployment & management deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- EDR/XDR platform deployment
- Hardened detection policies
- Exception governance program
- Custom detection content
- Response playbook library
- Monthly coverage and tuning reports
- Red-team validation exercises
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework | PR.AC, DE.CM, RS.AN | Technical testing verifying access controls, anomaly detection efficacy, and incident response mitigation capabilities. |
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(8) | Formal technical evaluation verifying the integrity of ePHI safeguards, network segmentation, and privileged access safeguards. |
| CMMC 2.0 Level 2 / 3 | CA.L2-3.12.1, SC.L2-3.13.1 | Technical validation of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protection, perimeter defense, and enclave isolation. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our EDR / XDR Deployment & Management service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: EDR/XDR platform deployment, Hardened detection policies, Exception governance program, Custom detection content, Response playbook library. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to SOC 2, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CMMC control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 4-8 weeks deployment + ongoing, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $12,000 + $2,500/month. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
