Managed XDR
Always-on threat detection& response.
CyberQ’s fully managed Security Operations Centre gives you round-the-clock monitoring, expert threat analysis and swift incident response, without the cost of building your own.
Understanding Managed XDR
A fully managed SOC, without building your own.
Managed XDR is a subscription-based model where CyberQ manages and monitors your security operations for you. It covers continuous monitoring of security events, threat detection, incident response and reporting — using advanced tools and expert analysts to identify and stop threats in real time, 24/7.
Why it matters: running an in-house SOC demands significant investment in technology, people and round-the-clock rotas. Managed XDR gives you the same capability as a scalable, cost-effective subscription.

Case study
Managed XDRin action.
Financial services
A local partner that keeps a regulated insurer compliant and ready to respond.
What the work covered: Managed security service, ISO 27001 compliance support and a desktop exercise
The challenge
The insurer’s previous security supplier went into administration. Its customer contracts require ISO 27001 compliance, and as an FCA-regulated firm a breach would be severely damaging to its reputation.
The approach
It took three quotes and chose CyberQ for its size, its Birmingham base and the promise of personal service. CyberQ provides the managed service with a consistent account team, monthly account meetings and customised reports, and ran a desktop exercise with the business.
The result
CyberQ “ticks all those boxes” for ISO 27001, the desktop exercise was described as very powerful, and when urgent work was needed the team worked weekends to deliver it.
