Managed extended detection & response
MXDR — detection and response that never clocks off
valantic MXDR gives you round-the-clock, investigation and response across your entire attack surface, built natively on Microsoft Sentinel and Defender, accelerated by AI and delivered by a Europe-based SOC.
The threat landscape has fundamentally changed
74%
of breaches involve the human element
21 days
average dwell time before detection
€4.5M
the average cost of a data breach in Europe is €4.5M

compliance is now mandatory across an expanding range of sectors
Organisations need a trusted security partner — not just tools.
Technology alone doesn’t make a security operation trustworthy — the people and the process behind it do. valantic MXDR is delivered by a dedicated European team who treat your environment as their own: a named Service Delivery Manager who knows your business, analysts who tune detections to your actual risk profile rather than shipping generic rulesets, and a governance rhythm that keeps your leadership informed in language it can act on.
We see this as a partnership, not a subscription.
Your trusted security partner for MXDR
24/7 SOC monitoring
Continuous detection and response, including nights, weekends and holidays.
A named local contact
A dedicated Service Delivery Manager, not a rotating ticket queue.
EU-based SOC, GDPR-native
Data processed and stored exclusively within the EU.
Deep Microsoft specialisation
we deploy, tune and operate Sentinel and Defender, not just resell licences.
Prevention-minded, detection-led
We reduce attack surface proactively, not just detect after the fact.
Business-aligned reporting
quarterly governance and executive reporting in the boardroom’s language.
How we help Full-surface detection and response, run as a service.
Full attack surface
endpoint, network, identity & behaviour
All telemetry — including Network Telemetry and UEBA — unified and correlated in a single platform.
| Endpoints (EDR) | PCs, servers, workstations, via Defender for Endpoint |
| Network Telemetry | lateral movement and C2 detection |
| Identity | sign-ins and privilege changes, via Defender for Identity |
| Cloud & SaaS | Azure, M365, Teams, SharePoint |
| UEBA | user & entity behaviour analytics, insider threat and anomaly detection |
| Threat Intelligence | global IOC & threat feeds, real-time enrichment |
| Business-critical applications | ERP, finance & line-of-business systems, onboarded via available logs |
Automation-first. Prevention-minded, detection-led.
SOAR playbooks and AI handle triage, enrichment and containment automatically; analysts focus on what truly needs human judgment.
We proactively reduce attack surface and stop incidents before they escalate.
Azure Logic Apps evaluate and tag every alert by severity the moment it arrives.
A single pane of glass with real-time dashboards, live incident status, SLA tracking and full reporting.
Incidents flow directly into existing ITSM workflows, no parallel systems, no manual re-keying.
Standardised, version-controlled, auditable and repeatable onboarding governance.
People, platform and process — one operating model
Technology detects; people decide; process makes the response repeatable. valantic MXDR runs on three reinforcing layers:
- People — 24/7 SOC analysts and threat hunters, a dedicated Service Delivery Manager, and clear escalation authority for critical incidents.
- Platform — Microsoft Sentinel and the full Defender suite, SOAR automation with AI-assisted triage, and a real-time customer portal.
- Process — standardised, auditable playbooks, infrastructure-as-code onboarding, and a quarterly governance and reporting cadence.
MXDR — powered by microsoft defender
MXDR built natively on Microsoft
If your organisation already invests in Microsoft 365 or Azure, MXDR maximises the value of your existing licensing rather than adding another vendor stack.
Microsoft Sentinel
SIEM + SOAR, the SOC brain, correlating telemetry at scale.
Defender for Endpoint
EDR for workstations and servers.
Defender for Identity
Identity threat detection and response.
Defender for Cloud
Cloud workload protection across Azure and multi-cloud.
Defender for Office 365
Email, Teams and SharePoint protection.
Defender for Cloud Apps
SaaS and shadow IT visibility.
valantic gets more out of Microsoft Sentinel and Defender than you would alone.
We manage the full stack — proactive tuning, optimisation, and continuous enrichment with the latest threat intelligence — so your investment in the Microsoft Security Suite actually pays off: stronger resilience, faster response, and SIEM and XDR working as one system, not two.
And because it's native Microsoft, you're never behind.
We continuously evaluate new Microsoft security capabilities as part of the service and activate relevant functionality together with the customer, depending on technical and licensing requirements.
Your way to a production-ready soc
From contract to threat detection in 4–6 weeks
For customers with an existing Microsoft Sentinel environment, onboarding and transition to threat detection can typically be achieved within 4–6 weeks. Greenfield implementations are scoped individually depending on the existing infrastructure and requirements.

Secure the transformation and stay to operate it
Every transformation changes not only how a company works but also where it is exposed. Standalone MXDR providers usually only step in once the new landscape is live, whereas valantic is part of the journey from the very beginning. It helps clients transform their business and IT landscape, secures that transformation along the way and continues to operate the security layer once the project is complete. As a result, MXDR is no isolated service but an integral part of valantic’s broader Security & Transformation proposition.
- Secure the change: Because new systems and interfaces also create new risks, security is treated as part of the transformation rather than a separate project that follows later.
- Stay and run the security layer: Once the new landscape is live, valantic continues to operate the security layer with MXDR. Since its experts helped shape the landscape, they already understand how it is built and what matters most.
This way, clients work with one partner who is responsible for both transformation and security, from the first workshop through to daily operations.
