Does RADICL replace our current MSP or internal security team?

No. RADICL works alongside your existing MSP or internal security team. The vSOC handles agreed security operations and coordinates response, while your IT team or MSP continues managing infrastructure changes, patching, and other assigned responsibilities. Shared cases and remediation workflows keep ownership and progress visible.

Can RADICL work with our existing EDR and network tools?

Yes, when the technology is supported within your agreed scope. RADICL supports leading EDR tools including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender, and can use identity and network data from supported systems, so you keep existing security investments while adding 24/7 investigation and response coordination.

Q: How is RADICL different from a traditional MSP, MSSP, or MDR provider?

An MSP typically focuses on day-to-day IT operations, while MSSPs and MDR providers focus more on security with varying coverage. RADICL combines 24/7 vSOC operations with detection and response, vulnerability operations, log analytics, security awareness, and compliance guidance, and gives your team direct visibility into cases, tasks, investigations, and remediation progress.

One operating model for cybersecurity and compliance

Connect security operations, compliance guidance, and supporting evidence.

24/7 vSOC expertise for threat detection and response

Security analysts investigate threats, hunt for suspicious activity, and coordinate response.

Remediation tracked through closure

See prioritized work, ownership, progress, verification, and supporting evidence.

Built to work with your team and existing tools

Keep your MSP, internal IT resources, and supported security tools involved.

When you compare managed security providers, look beyond the category name.

The right fit depends on your team, technology, compliance responsibilities, the level of operational ownership you need, and the type of relationship you want with your provider.

The provider relationship matters just as much for a lean team. RADICL’s smaller team gives customers direct access to people who know their environment and can respond when questions come up.
