We provide comprehensive managed security services that protect your business, your data, and your users around the clock.

Security threats do not keep business hours. Your defences should not either.

Managed security services are the outsourcing of security monitoring, management, and response functions to a specialist security provider, giving your organisation access to expert security capabilities and around-the-clock protection that would be prohibitively expensive to build in-house.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving faster than most internal security teams can keep pace with, with new attack techniques, zero-day vulnerabilities, and sophisticated social engineering attacks emerging constantly across every sector.

At Square Root Solutions, our managed cybersecurity services give businesses the protection they need without the overhead of building and maintaining a full in-house security operation. As ISO 27001 certified information security professionals and one of Ireland's first ISO 42001 certified AI companies, we deliver managed security that is technically rigorous, compliance-aligned, and genuinely protective of your business.

From 24/7 security monitoring and threat detection to managed compliance and security programme management, we're the managed security service provider your organisation needs to stay protected.

Why established Irish businesses choose
managed security over building in-house

Building and maintaining an effective in-house security operation is increasingly expensive, complex, and difficult to staff. Here is why our MSSP services make more sense for most businesses.

People first

Access to expertise at scale

Building an in-house security team with the breadth of expertise needed to address the full range of modern cyber threats requires significant investment in hiring, training, and retention. Managed security services give you immediate access to a team of specialists across every security domain without the hiring overhead.

Responsible AI

24/7 coverage without 24/7 staffing costs

Cyber attacks do not follow business hours. Maintaining 24/7 security monitoring with an in-house team requires shift patterns, on-call arrangements, and staffing redundancy that are prohibitively expensive for most organisations. Managed security services provide continuous coverage at a fraction of the cost.

Outcomes over output

Advanced tools and technology

Business-grade security tools including SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, threat intelligence feeds, and security orchestration platforms represent significant capital investment. Managed security service providers spread the cost of these tools across their client base, giving you access to best-in-class security technology at a managed services price point.

Partners, not vendors

Rapid response and containment

When a security incident occurs, speed of response is critical. Managed security service providers have established incident response playbooks, tooling, and expertise to detect, contain, and remediate security incidents faster than most in-house teams, minimising the business impact of a breach.

Managed security across every sector

We provide outsourced security services for businesses across a wide range of industries.

Our managed security services onboarding process

A structured, thorough onboarding process that ensures comprehensive security coverage from day one.

We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your IT environment, security tools, existing controls, and threat exposure, building a complete picture of your security landscape before designing your managed security service configuration.

We design your managed security service configuration, deploy and integrate monitoring agents, SIEM connectors, and security tools across your environment, and establish the alerting rules, detection logic, and response playbooks tailored to your specific threat profile.

We establish a security baseline for your environment, tuning detection rules and alerting thresholds to minimise false positives while ensuring genuine threats are detected reliably, refining our detection logic continuously during the initial service period.

We establish communication protocols, escalation procedures, and incident response workflows with your internal team, ensuring seamless coordination between our managed security operation and your organisation when security events occur.

We provide continuous 24/7 security monitoring, regular security reports and service reviews, proactive threat hunting, and ongoing service improvement as your environment evolves, new threats emerge, and your security requirements change.

Security That Never Stops Watching

Keep your business protected with continuous security monitoring, proactive threat detection and expert response that works around the clock to identify and address risks before they become major incidents.

SaaS

24/7 Security Monitoring for a SaaS Platform

The Problem:

A growing SaaS company had security controls in place but no dedicated team monitoring its cloud environment around the clock. Suspicious login attempts, unusual traffic and system alerts were being reviewed manually, making it difficult to identify genuine threats quickly and respond before they affected customers.

Our Solution:

We implemented a managed security service covering continuous monitoring, threat detection, alert triage and incident response across the company's cloud infrastructure, applications and endpoints. Security events were centralised for analysis, with escalation procedures and regular security reporting giving the internal team clear visibility into emerging threats.

The Result:

  • Security events monitored continuously without an internal 24/7 SOC
  • Suspicious activity identified and escalated faster
  • Security alerts consolidated into a single monitoring workflow
  • Regular reporting gave leadership clear visibility into security posture

FinTech

Managed Vulnerability & Security Monitoring

The Problem:

A financial services company was managing vulnerabilities across applications, cloud infrastructure and third-party components, but security reviews were periodic rather than continuous. New vulnerabilities could emerge between assessments, leaving the organisation uncertain about its current exposure.

Our Solution:

We established an ongoing vulnerability management programme covering asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, risk prioritisation, remediation tracking and verification. Security monitoring was combined with regular reporting so the organisation could identify newly emerging risks and maintain visibility over remediation progress.

The Result:

  • Vulnerabilities continuously monitored across critical assets
  • High-risk issues prioritised based on business impact
  • Remediation progress tracked through a centralised process
  • Security teams gained continuous visibility instead of periodic snapshots

HealthTech

Managed Detection & Incident Response

The Problem:

A healthcare organisation needed to protect systems containing sensitive data but lacked the resources to investigate security alerts and respond to incidents quickly. The team needed a structured process for detecting suspicious activity, containing incidents and restoring normal operations.

Our Solution:

We provided managed detection and response across critical systems, combining continuous security monitoring, automated alerting and expert investigation. We established incident response procedures covering containment, investigation, recovery and post-incident review, with regular security reports highlighting recurring risks and recommended improvements.

The Result:

  • Security incidents detected and investigated through a structured response process
  • Faster escalation and containment of confirmed threats
  • Clear incident response procedures established across the organisation
  • Recurring security issues identified and addressed proactively

Frequently Asked Questions

Managed security services are the outsourcing of security monitoring, management, and response functions to a specialist security provider. They give organisations access to expert security capabilities, advanced security tools, and around-the-clock protection that would be prohibitively expensive and complex to build and maintain in-house.

A managed Security Operations Centre is a fully outsourced security operations capability that monitors, detects, analyses, and responds to security events across your IT environment around the clock. A managed SOC gives you the benefits of an internal security operations team without the significant cost and complexity of building and staffing one yourself.

Traditional security consulting delivers point-in-time assessments, strategy documents, and implementation projects with a defined start and end. Managed security services provide continuous, ongoing security monitoring, management, and response on a subscription basis, ensuring your organisation is protected around the clock rather than just at the point of an engagement.

Our managed security service includes defined response time commitments based on incident severity. Critical incidents are responded to within minutes of detection, with immediate escalation to our incident response team and your nominated contacts. We establish specific response time commitments during the service onboarding process based on your requirements.

Yes. Every managed security service we provide is configured to your specific IT environment, threat profile, regulatory requirements, and risk appetite. We do not provide generic, one-size-fits-all security monitoring but tailor our service configuration, detection logic, and response playbooks to the specific characteristics of your organisation.

All security monitoring data generated by our managed security services is processed and stored within EU jurisdiction, in full compliance with GDPR data sovereignty requirements. We operate under a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement and our ISO 27001 certified security management practices ensure the highest standards of data protection throughout our managed security operations.
