CRITICALSTART® is the only Managed Detection and Response provider with contractual per-alert commitments, a deterministic-first architecture, and human validation behind every security decision.
See how Critical Start is raising the bar for MDR.
Every MDR vendor will tell you how fast their AI responds. Ask them what happens when it’s wrong.
The market races to show how fast AI can respond. Your real question is: what happens when it’s wrong? At Critical Start, every threat alert, low, medium, or high severity, is validated by a qualified SOC analyst.
Every one of our AI recommendations carries a full audit trail: what the agent proposed, what the analyst decided, and why.
Gartner estimates 60% of AI incidents by 2026 will stem from governance failure. Our answer isn’t a policy document, it’s the architecture itself.
Most AI security platforms treat cross-customer data sharing as a network effect. For regulated industries, that’s a data governance risk. Our architecture keeps telemetry inside your environment. Agents operate on your signal, within your Rules of Engagement and never share investigation outputs across customers.
Every AI vendor has a benchmark: response in five minutes, triage in seconds, investigation cut by 68%, measured in vendor-controlled environments, against vendor-selected workloads, with no contractual commitment behind them.
Critical Start offers per-alert SLAs, audit-ready obligations on how every signal is handled. The question isn’t whose AI is fastest in a demo. It’s who will put it in writing.
AI accelerates every step. Your analysts and ours validate the moments that matter. The result is a contractual, audit-ready outcome.
Every agent proposes. A qualified human approves. Each one has a tightly scoped charter: what it can do, what it cannot, and what it must hand off.
