Alchemy MDR monitors agreed telemetry, investigates security alerts and escalates validated threats. Authorised response actions follow defined runbooks, giving your team a clear operational model. [Discuss your MDR requirements](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/contact?hsLang=en-au) ## Extend your detection and response capacity MDR supports organisations that have security tools but need additional capacity to triage, investigate and respond. We define the required coverage around your environment, priorities and internal responsibilities. [Watch the Managed Detection and Response video](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/hubfs/Videos/Managed%20Detection.mp4?hsLang=en-au) ## A service built around agreed coverage 01 / Define ### Agree the operating model Establish telemetry sources, monitoring hours, severity definitions, escalation contacts and response authority before the service begins. 02 / Validate ### Onboard with acceptance checks Validate integrations and notifications. Move into operation after agreed acceptance checks confirm that the service is ready. 03 / Operate ### Investigate, respond and improve Investigate cases, carry out authorised actions, tune detections and conduct threat hunting at the agreed cadence. Reporting makes outcomes, telemetry health and improvement priorities visible. ## What you receive - An onboarding and acceptance pack. - A service handbook, escalation matrix and response runbooks. - Incident notifications and case records. - Regular reports, service reviews and detection improvements. - An agreed transition and export process when the service ends. ## Response expectations are explicit The service agreement defines critical events, response targets, when measurement begins and the actions that constitute commenced response. It also records dependencies such as telemetry availability and customer contacts, so expectations are clear before the service goes live. ## MDR or Managed SOC? MDR focuses on detection, investigation and response within the contracted service. Managed SOC addresses the broader operating model, including responsibilities, workflows, provider coordination and governance. ## Define your detection and response coverage. Tell us about your environment, existing tools and internal capacity. We’ll help define the coverage, escalation paths and response responsibilities you need.
