MSSP Capabilities & Compliance Credentials
Foresite Services Portfolio
Managed SOC, MDR, vulnerability management, compliance management, penetration testing, and incident response — full MSSP coverage for regulated industries.
Managed SOC — 24/7 Security Operations
Fully managed Security Operations Center providing 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and response across customer environments — staffed by experienced security analysts using enterprise-grade SIEM, threat intelligence, and detection tooling. Foresite's managed SOC eliminates the cost and staffing challenges of building internal 24/7 security operations, providing analyst coverage without requiring shift rotations, tool licensing, or ongoing analyst recruitment.
MDR — Managed Detection & Response
Managed Detection and Response service combining advanced threat detection with analyst-led investigation and active response — moving beyond alert delivery to containment and remediation. Foresite MDR analysts investigate alerts in context, distinguishing false positives from confirmed threats, and executing response actions that limit the scope and duration of security incidents without requiring customer IT staff to perform triage.
Vulnerability Management — Continuous Scanning
Continuous vulnerability scanning and prioritized remediation guidance covering on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments — identifying exploitable weaknesses before attackers do. Foresite's vulnerability management includes asset discovery, CVE mapping, risk scoring, and remediation tracking — providing security teams with prioritized action lists rather than raw vulnerability data requiring manual analysis.
Compliance Management — HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2
Managed compliance support for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NIST, and other regulatory frameworks — providing continuous compliance monitoring, gap assessments, and audit-ready reporting. Foresite's compliance management reduces the internal preparation burden for audit cycles by maintaining continuous evidence collection and control monitoring rather than scrambling to assemble documentation before scheduled audits.
Penetration Testing — Adversarial Security Assessment
Scheduled and on-demand penetration testing services simulating real-world attacker techniques against network, application, and cloud environments — identifying exploitable vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss. Foresite penetration testing deliverables include prioritized findings with remediation guidance, executive summaries for board reporting, and retesting validation to confirm vulnerabilities are resolved after remediation.
Incident Response — Containment & Recovery
Incident response services providing rapid containment, forensic investigation, and recovery guidance when security incidents occur — with IR retainer options for organizations requiring guaranteed response time commitments. Foresite IR teams perform evidence preservation, root cause analysis, attacker dwell time assessment, and scope determination to support both technical remediation and insurance/legal notification requirements.
Why Foresite
Six reasons healthcare, financial services, and regulated organizations choose Foresite for compliance-integrated managed security and 24/7 SOC operations.
24/7 Managed SOC — No Internal Staffing
Foresite's managed SOC provides round-the-clock security analyst coverage without requiring organizations to hire, train, and retain internal security staff for shift operations. Building an internal 24/7 SOC requires 5-7 analysts per shift rotation, enterprise SIEM licensing, and ongoing analyst development — Foresite's managed model delivers equivalent coverage at a fraction of the internal build cost.
MDR — Analyst Response, Not Just Alerts
Foresite MDR delivers analyst-led investigation and active response — not just alert forwarding. Analysts investigate confirmed threats, perform containment actions, and communicate response recommendations in plain language, eliminating the alert triage burden from IT staff who receive security notifications without the tooling or expertise to evaluate severity and respond appropriately.
Compliance-First MSSP
Foresite is positioned as a compliance-focused MSSP — maintaining continuous monitoring and evidence collection aligned to HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NIST frameworks. Healthcare, financial services, and SaaS organizations with recurring audit cycles benefit from Foresite's compliance-integrated security operations that reduce the audit preparation workload rather than treating compliance as a separate annual project.
Vulnerability Management — Prioritized Remediation
Foresite's continuous vulnerability management identifies and prioritizes exploitable weaknesses across environments — providing remediation guidance ranked by actual risk rather than raw CVSS scores. Organizations with large vulnerability backlogs benefit from Foresite's risk-based prioritization that focuses remediation effort on vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited rather than treating all vulnerabilities as equally urgent.
Penetration Testing — Validates Security Controls
Foresite penetration testing validates whether security controls actually prevent exploitation — not just whether controls are technically deployed. Annual pen testing supplements continuous MDR monitoring by revealing exploitable attack paths that automated detection may not surface, providing evidence for board-level security reporting and satisfying compliance requirements for adversarial testing.
IR Retainer — Guaranteed Response Time
Foresite IR retainer agreements guarantee response time commitments when incidents occur — ensuring organizations have pre-contracted access to incident response expertise rather than scrambling to engage IR services during active breaches when demand is high. Retainer arrangements also typically include pre-incident preparation work that reduces recovery time when incidents do occur.
