What's Included
Round-the-Clock Threat Hunting
Opsio analysts proactively search for indicators of compromise, lateral movement, and stealthy threats across your endpoints, cloud workloads, and network segments using behavioural analytics and India-specific threat intelligence.
Automated Threat Containment
On confirming a threat, we isolate affected endpoints, block malicious IPs, disable compromised credentials, and contain the blast radius instantly. Automated playbooks address known patterns while analysts handle novel attacks.
Root Cause Analysis & Digital Forensics
Every incident receives a thorough investigation tracing the attack chain from initial access to impact. Detailed forensic reports meet CERT-In documentation expectations and drive lasting remediation.
Endpoint Detection & Response Management
We deploy and manage EDR agents — CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint — across your fleet, providing real-time visibility into process execution, file modifications, and network connections.
Network Traffic Analysis
Deep packet inspection and flow analysis detect command-and-control channels, data exfiltration, and lateral movement that endpoint-only tools miss. We monitor both east-west and north-south traffic within Indian data centres.
Compliance-Ready Reporting
Every detection, investigation, and response action is documented with timestamps and evidence. Reports map directly to CERT-In, DPDPA, RBI cybersecurity guidelines, ISO 27001, and NIST incident-reporting obligations.

Why Indian Enterprises Require Managed Detection & Response
Conventional security monitoring spots threats but halts at sending notifications. Indian enterprises face a unique challenge — CERT-In mandates incident reporting within six hours, yet most internal teams take days to confirm genuine threats amid a flood of false positives. Delayed detection is simply untenable under India's stringent regulatory climate. Managed Detection & Response (MDR) fundamentally shifts the balance. Opsio does not merely detect threats — we investigate, contain, and remediate them on your behalf. Our analysts leverage EDR platforms such as CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, network traffic analysis, and threat intelligence tailored to the Indian landscape to proactively hunt for adversaries evading automated detection.
The outcome: mean time to detect drops from weeks to minutes, and mean time to respond falls below sixty minutes. Your internal security team can then concentrate on strategic security architecture, DPDPA compliance programmes, and board-level governance instead of perpetually chasing alerts.
India's digital transformation has drastically expanded the attack surface for enterprises across BFSI, IT services, and manufacturing sectors. With over 1.39 billion internet transactions monthly and UPI-driven payment ecosystems, the volume of sensitive data traversing Indian networks demands detection capabilities far beyond what legacy SIEM deployments can deliver. MDR addresses this gap by combining machine learning models trained on Indian threat data with human expertise that understands the regional adversary landscape.
The regulatory environment in India continues to tighten. CERT-In's 2022 directives mandate six-hour incident reporting, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 imposes substantial penalties for data breaches affecting Indian citizens. Organisations without round-the-clock detection and response capabilities face both regulatory penalties and reputational damage that can be existential for mid-market Indian enterprises competing in global supply chains.
Opsio's MDR service operates from a follow-the-sun model with dedicated analysts in both Karlstad and India, ensuring that IST business-hour escalations receive immediate attention while overnight coverage remains seamless. This dual-geography model eliminates the common challenge Indian enterprises face when relying solely on offshore SOC providers whose peak staffing misaligns with Indian threat activity patterns.

Managed Detection & Response (MDR) for India — FAQ
What is Managed Detection and Response for Indian enterprises?
MDR is a managed security service combining EDR, SIEM, and network analysis with human expertise to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats around the clock. Unlike traditional monitoring that stops at alerting, MDR includes active threat hunting, containment, and remediation aligned with CERT-In requirements.
How much does MDR cost in India?
MDR pricing depends on endpoints monitored and service tier. Opsio's MDR services for Indian enterprises range from ₹4 lakh to ₹12 lakh per month for typical environments. We offer transparent per-endpoint pricing with no per-incident charges or hidden fees. We structure all pricing in INR with transparent breakdowns and GST-compliant invoicing. Flexible monthly or annual billing options accommodate Indian enterprise procurement cycles, and our commercial team works directly with your finance department to streamline purchase order workflows and ensure budget alignment across quarters.
What is the difference between MDR and a SOC?
A SOC monitors and alerts on security events. MDR goes further with proactive threat hunting, incident investigation, and active containment and remediation. Think of the SOC as the eyes monitoring your environment, while MDR adds the hands that actually neutralise threats. Our security operations incorporate India-specific threat intelligence, including CERT-In advisory tracking, South Asian APT group monitoring, and regional attack pattern analysis. This localised intelligence ensures that detection rules and response playbooks address the threats most relevant to Indian enterprises across financial services, IT, pharma, and government sectors.
Which EDR tools does Opsio support in India?
We integrate with all major EDR platforms including CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, VMware Carbon Black, and Cortex XDR. We can deploy fresh agents or work seamlessly with your existing EDR investment across Indian data centres. This approach has been refined through extensive engagements with Indian enterprises across BFSI, IT services, healthcare, manufacturing, and e-commerce sectors. Our India-based delivery team provides dedicated support during IST business hours with 24/7 escalation coverage for critical issues, ensuring responsive service aligned with your operational cadence.
How fast does Opsio respond to threats in India?
Our SLA guarantees alert triage within fifteen minutes and active incident response within one hour for critical threats. Our follow-the-sun model with teams in India and Sweden ensures consistent round-the-clock response times meeting CERT-In's six-hour reporting mandate.
Does Opsio MDR cover both cloud and on-premises environments in India?
Yes, our MDR service provides unified threat detection and response across cloud workloads in AWS Mumbai, Azure Central India, and GCP, as well as on-premises servers and endpoints in your Indian data centres. We deploy EDR agents and network sensors that report to a centralised platform, giving our analysts complete visibility regardless of where your infrastructure resides. This hybrid coverage is essential for Indian enterprises with workloads split between cloud and traditional data centres.
How does Opsio handle CERT-In's six-hour incident reporting requirement?
Our incident response workflow is designed around CERT-In's mandatory six-hour reporting timeline. When a confirmed security incident is detected, our analysts immediately begin documenting the incident using CERT-In's prescribed format while simultaneously containing the threat. Automated workflows ensure that preliminary reports are submitted to CERT-In within the mandated window, with detailed follow-up reports provided as the investigation progresses. This dual-track approach ensures compliance without delaying response actions.
Can Opsio MDR integrate with our existing SIEM in India?
Absolutely. We integrate with all major SIEM platforms including Splunk, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic SIEM, and Google Chronicle. Our MDR service enhances your existing SIEM investment by adding proactive threat hunting, incident investigation, and active response capabilities that SIEMs alone cannot provide. For Indian enterprises without a SIEM, we can deploy a cloud-native SIEM as part of the MDR service, hosted in Indian cloud regions for data residency compliance.
What certifications do Opsio MDR analysts hold?
Our security analysts hold industry-recognised certifications including GIAC (GCIH, GCIA, GCFA), OSCP, CEH, CompTIA CySA+, and vendor-specific certifications for CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender. Our team also maintains expertise in Indian regulatory frameworks including CERT-In directives, DPDPA requirements, and RBI cybersecurity guidelines. We invest continuously in training to stay current with evolving Indian threat actors and attack techniques targeting the subcontinent.
What is the onboarding timeline for MDR services in India?
Typical MDR onboarding for Indian enterprises takes two to four weeks, depending on environment complexity. Week one covers asset discovery, EDR agent deployment, and network sensor installation across Indian infrastructure. Week two focuses on baseline establishment, detection rule tuning, and integration with your ticketing and communication systems. Weeks three and four involve validation testing and gradual transition to full 24/7 monitoring. During onboarding, our analysts are already providing coverage and threat hunting.
