Northbridge MDR+, powered by Lima Charlie

Autonomous where speed matters.
Human where judgement matters.

Northbridge MDR+ delivers 24x7 autonomous detection and response across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with containment at machine speed and human analysts engaged the moment judgement is required. A complete operational security layer, not another tool to manage. Sold and led by you.

The problem

Attackers move at machine speed. Most defences don't.

Modern threats bypass traditional controls. Manual response cycles are simply too slow for attackers operating at machine speed, and most of your customers can't afford the team it takes to keep up.

What security teams drown in
01 Alert fatigue
02 Fragmented tools
03 Runaway SIEM costs
04 Rigid vendor lock-in
How Northbridge MDR+ works

Threats handled now. Not reviewed in the morning.

01
Detect

Suspicious behaviour spotted automatically, 24x7.

02
Enrich

The event is assessed instantly with full context.

03
Contain

Safe, pre-approved containment executes at machine speed.

04
Escalate

High-risk and ambiguous cases route to a human analyst.

05
Inform

The customer is notified with clear next steps.

Autonomous by default, with human oversight whenever impact or uncertainty requires judgement.

The Northbridge advantage

Four things that hold up under scrutiny

Autonomous-first SOC

Detection, enrichment, and pre-approved containment execute automatically. Known threats are stopped before an analyst even looks.

Full transparency

Every detection rule is visible and explainable. No black-box ML, no vendor secrecy. Defensible decisions, every time.

True cross-platform parity

Equal capability across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with no reduced-feature agents. Identity events from Entra ID and Microsoft 365 correlated to endpoint telemetry.

No lock-in

Usage-based pricing with no seat minimums, no forced bundles, and no punitive licensing. Leaving should be a choice, not a hostage negotiation.

Honest scope

What it is. And what it isn't.

What it is
A continuously operating 24x7 security capability
Autonomous-first with built-in human oversight
Transparent, auditable, and defensible
Cross-platform with full feature parity
API-driven and integration-friendly
What it is not
A black-box SOC with no visibility into decisions
A breach-warranty or liability-transfer product
A passive alert-forwarding service
A Windows-only solution
A licensing trap with seat minimums or bundles

"Autonomous" means the service performs continuous detection, enrichment, triage, and predefined response actions without constant human intervention, with containment executed under agreed policies and thresholds. Human analysts review, approve, escalate, override, or take control wherever judgement, investigation, or customer engagement is required.

The partner model

You own the outcome. We own the complexity.

No internal SOC

Deliver enterprise-grade security from day one without standing up a 24x7 operations team.

Fast to market

Pre-built detections, multi-tenant deployment, and rapid onboarding mean you can sell and activate quickly.

Predictable revenue

Usage-based pricing with no forced bundles or seat minimums.

Reduced delivery risk

Northbridge owns the operational complexity and platform management. You own the customer relationship and the outcome.
