Managed security (MSSP): continuous cybersecurity for your business
Cybersecurity isn't a one-off project, it's an ongoing process. We act as your outsourced security department: monitoring, detecting, responding and improving your security posture month after month.
Why do you need managed security?
Most companies can't afford an in-house CISO, SOC and incident response team. Yet attackers don't distinguish between a 20-person startup and an Ibex35 company. An MSSP service gives you access to enterprise-grade security capabilities for a fraction of the cost, with the advantage of scaling to your needs and having a single point of contact for all your cybersecurity.
What the MSSP service includes
- Virtual CISO: monthly strategic advisory and oversight of the security program
- Continuous vulnerability management: scanning, prioritization and remediation tracking
- External attack surface monitoring (ASM)
- Critical patch management and vulnerability alerts across your technology stack
- Review of security logs and incidents (SIEM lite or integration with your SIEM)
- Incident response: forensic analysis, containment and recovery
- Awareness: ongoing training and quarterly phishing simulations
- Regulatory compliance review: NIS2, DORA, ENS, ISO 27001
- Annual pentesting included depending on the service tier
How the service works
- Onboarding: Asset inventory, review of existing configurations and definition of the 12-month security plan.
- Continuous monitoring: Attack surface surveillance, critical vulnerability alerts and anomaly detection.
- Monthly cycle: Incident review, vulnerability management, monthly status report and follow-up meeting.
- Incident response: IR protocol activated in under 4 hours for a critical incident. Forensic analysis, containment and recovery.
- Quarterly review: Progress assessment, security plan update and phishing simulation.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an MSSP and an IT maintenance contract?
An MSSP focuses exclusively on security: threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response and regulatory compliance. We don't manage infrastructure or end-user support.
What's the SLA for incident response?
For critical incidents, the initial response time is under 4 hours. For high-impact incidents, we guarantee forensic analysis begins the same day.
Does the service include the annual pentest?
Yes, mid and top-tier plans include an annual pentest with an agreed scope. It's the ideal combination: continuous monitoring plus periodic offensive assessment.
