Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
Human-led detection and hands-on response across your environment
What this engagement covers
The service
Lorikeet Security MDR combines 24/7 monitoring, advanced analytics, and expert analyst triage to detect and contain threats across endpoints, identities, cloud, and network - so attacks get shut down in minutes, not weeks.
What we test
We ingest telemetry from your EDR, identity provider, cloud audit logs, email security, and network sensors. Every alert is triaged by a Tier 2+ analyst and either resolved, escalated, or actively contained on your behalf.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting Managed Detection & Response (MDR) 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 Managed Detection & Response (MDR). 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 Managed Detection & Response (MDR).

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.
- 24/7 human-led alert triage
- Active containment for confirmed threats
- Detection content tuned to your stack
- Monthly threat landscape briefing
- Quarterly tabletop with your IR team
- Integration with your ticketing (Jira, ServiceNow)
- On-demand IR escalation
- Retrospective reporting after every major incident
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. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 & A.8.20 | Management of technical vulnerabilities and network security verification through independent technical assessments. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, 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 Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: 24/7 human-led alert triage, Active containment for confirmed threats, Detection content tuned to your stack, Monthly threat landscape briefing, Quarterly tabletop with your IR team. 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, ISO 27001 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 Ongoing monthly service, 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 $4,500/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.
