MSSP / MDR Selection & Vendor Evaluation
“Unbiased selection. Full disclosure.”
What It Is
Managed security providers can look identical in a sales deck and be completely different at 2 a.m. We help you define what you actually need, build the shortlist, run the evaluation, and read the fine print: what they will do versus merely notify you about, response commitments, data retention, and how you get out.
We disclose any compensation we receive from any provider, up front. You get the recommendation we would make if no one were paying us.
Who It’s For
- Businesses buying their first MSSP or MDR service
- Teams whose current provider isn't meeting expectations
- MSPs choosing a security partner for their clients
How We Approach It
- Requirements based on your threat model and team capacity
- Shortlist and structured evaluation
- Contract and service-level review
- Onboarding expectations and a shared-responsibility model
Why Threat Vector Management
We have led managed detection and response practices from the vendor side, so we know what sits behind the brochure and which questions providers would rather not be asked.
