Managing and responding to the cybersecurity needs of a business can be a challenge in time, expertise and resource. Developing and maintaining a mature security posture despite these challenges can more easily be achieved via a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).
Sapphire takes a proactive approach to secure our customers’ infrastructure, people and data. Our expert analysts combined with the latest threat intelligence and industry-leading technologies, protect, detect and remediate evolving security threats.
Sapphire is a managed security services provider that has experience working with both the public and private sectors, delivering a range of managed services including Managed SIEM, EDR, Vulnerability Management, Incident Response and Security Awareness Training.
When looking for an MSSP there are five vital elements of the service to consider.

Sapphire has over 25 years of experience in delivering IT security services including penetration testing, security audits and technology services. It is the breadth and depth of this experience that enhances our offering as a managed security service provider.
Sapphire’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) combines expert analysts, premium threat intelligence and leading technologies, delivering a unified view of security across our clients. This, coupled with continual monitoring, enhanced reporting and the opportunity to take advantage of our analyst’s expertise through regular consultations, means that Sapphire is best placed to protect organisations from cyber threats. Our managed services are delivered from our UK-based SOC, 24x7x365.
Sapphire’s Managed SIEM combines leading information and event management technology with the experience and expertise of our SOC analysts, delivering the best security monitoring available today. This helps organisations reduce exposure to cybersecurity threats. The ability to reduce threat dwell time minimises exposure to existing cyber threats. This coupled with a significantly improved Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) means that organisations benefit from improved operational efficiencies and lower costs associated with cyber security incidents.
Sapphire Vulnerability Management analyses the entire environment, detecting risk to exploitation across datacentres, remote workers, cloud and the corporate network. Sapphire works in close partnership with clients to provide them with complete visibility of the vulnerability landscape, enabling them to identify, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities. We detect and prioritise exploitable vulnerabilities so customers can quickly identify risk. Our Vulnerability Management service negates the need for the client to carry out their own assessments, however, we would recommend that the service is utilised alongside a regular penetration testing programme.
Sapphire Managed EDR protects and analyses all known and unknown cyber threats. Threat data is enriched with industry-leading threat intelligence, offering a deeper context and allowing our Analysts to detect threats more efficiently. We provide customers 24×7 visibility of malicious attacks on all endpoints. The service includes full remote remediation to ensure that clients endpoint devices are secured.
Often the most effective form of defence against cyberattacks is people. Developing and maintaining a security awareness programme across the business can empower users to be effective in defending against phishing and social engineering attack. Sapphire’s Managed Security Awareness Training provides engaging educational content and is delivered as part of a sustained training and awareness educational programme over a period of time, combined with ongoing testing with regular phishing assessments. Training topics covered include data security, phishing, ransomware and malware responses, sensitive data handling and more.
Available as both a reactive service should an organisation fail victim to a cyber-attack or as a more sustained and proactive incident response programme, the Sapphire Incident Response service is designed to help organisations in times of crisis. This service is available 24×7 and operates as an extension of the Security Operations Centre and enables organisations to draw on the expertise of analysts and responders as and when needed.
In comparison to other service providers, Sapphire has specialised in information security services for over 25 years. By utilising our MSSP services, clients benefit from a wealth of experience combined with leading technology and security analytical tools.
