Cyberuptive is a US-owned managed security services provider (MSSP) headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. Cyberuptive delivers 24/7 SOC, managed detection and response (MDR), penetration testing, and CMMC Level 2 readiness for defense contractors, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and regulated enterprises. Cyberuptive is a Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO).

Is Cyberuptive a US company?

Yes. Cyberuptive is a US-owned managed security services provider with its corporate headquarters in Honolulu, Hawaii. Cyberuptive's US federal-grade SOC is physically and logically segregated from any international facility, and all US federal, defense, and CMMC-scoped client work is delivered from US soil by US-persons analysts.

Does Cyberuptive support clients outside the United States?

Yes. While Cyberuptive's corporate headquarters is in Honolulu, Cyberuptive has delivery capability across more than 40 countries. US federal and defense clients are served exclusively from US soil by US-persons analysts on a physically and logically segregated SOC. A separate Asia-Pacific hub for international commercial clients is coming online on a fully segregated tenancy — it will never share telemetry with the US federal SOC.

What is a Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO)?

A Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO) is a company authorized by the Cyber AB — the sole accreditation body for the CMMC ecosystem — to provide advice, consulting, and recommendations to DIB companies pursuing CMMC certification. Cyberuptive is a Registered Provider Organization, and Cyberuptive's assessors are Registered Practitioners (RPs).

What does managed SOC pricing look like?

Managed SOC and MDR typically run $50 to $200 per user per month, or $8 to $30 per endpoint per month, depending on coverage hours, response model, and stack inclusions. For a 50-person defense contractor, that is usually $4,000 to $15,000 per month. Penetration tests, CMMC assessments, and project work are scoped separately.

How much does CMMC Level 2 certification cost?

CMMC Level 2 certification typically costs between $75,000 and $500,000 total across gap assessment, remediation, and C3PAO assessment fees, depending on organization size and starting maturity. Ongoing managed security operations to maintain Level 2 compliance run $60,000 to $180,000 per year for a 50-person contractor. Cyberuptive scopes fixed-price CMMC readiness engagements.

What is the difference between MDR and SOC as a Service?

MDR (Managed Detection and Response) focuses on endpoint and identity threat detection with active containment. SOC as a Service is broader: 24/7 monitoring across endpoints, cloud, network, and identity, plus threat hunting, incident response coordination, and audit evidence generation. Cyberuptive delivers both, often as a combined co-managed engagement.

What EDR platforms does Cyberuptive support?

Cyberuptive supports Trellix Helix XDR, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne Singularity, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Palo Alto Cortex XDR. Cyberuptive is a Trellix partner, a CrowdStrike Elevate partner, a SentinelOne PartnerOne partner, a Microsoft Solutions Partner, and a Palo Alto Networks NextWave partner.

How fast can Cyberuptive respond to an incident?

Cyberuptive's 24/7 SOC delivers a median time-to-triage of under 15 minutes for high-severity alerts, with active response (host isolation, credential revocation, threat containment) available in the same session. Incident response engagements for confirmed breaches begin within one business hour of retainer activation.

What compliance frameworks does Cyberuptive support?

Cyberuptive supports CMMC 2.0 (Levels 1 and 2), NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, PIPEDA, PCI DSS, and Essential Eight. Cyberuptive is a Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization for CMMC engagements.

Who does Cyberuptive serve?

Cyberuptive serves defense contractors and the businesses that supply them (primes, subs, and sub-subs in the DIB), financial institutions, healthcare providers, legal practices, manufacturers, and shipping and logistics operators. Cyberuptive is built for organizations with real regulatory exposure that cannot justify a multi-million-dollar in-house security team.

Does Cyberuptive work with GCC High and government cloud?

Yes. Cyberuptive deploys and operates security controls in Microsoft GCC High for CMMC Level 2 organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Cyberuptive also supports AWS GovCloud (US) and Azure Government workloads. All GCC High and GovCloud operations are performed by US-persons analysts.

Is Cyberuptive an MSP or an MSSP?

Cyberuptive is a managed security services provider (MSSP), not a managed services provider (MSP). Cyberuptive is exclusively focused on security operations, threat detection, incident response, and compliance — not help desk, break-fix IT, or general infrastructure management. This focus is critical for CMMC scoping and defense contractor workflows.

How do I get started with Cyberuptive?

Book a 30-minute security review at cyberuptive.com/contact or call 833-922-9237. You will get a clear read on your exposure, a prioritized first 90 days, and a fixed-scope quote within one business week — without a six-month RFP cycle.

A simple plan

Three steps to a working security program.

You don't need a 200-page roadmap. You need a partner who can size up your environment quickly, prioritize what's risky, and start running coverage before the next incident.

Step 01
Assess your exposure

A 30-minute security review. We map your stack, identify the gaps, and give you a prioritized list of what's actually risky — not a generic checklist.
Step 02
Onboard 24/7 coverage

SOC, MDR, vulnerability and patch management go live in days — not quarters. Your team keeps doing the work that earns revenue; we handle detection, response, and the audit evidence.
Step 03
Improve continuously

Monthly risk-and-action reviews. Zero Trust rollout, hardening, tabletop exercises, and compliance evidence collection — phased on a timeline you can actually staff.

The guide in your corner

You're the hero. We're the security team behind you.

You're trying to grow the business, ship the product, and serve your customers. Cybersecurity shouldn't be the thing that keeps you up at night — but it usually is. Cyberuptive runs the security work in the background so you can stop reacting and start operating.

Operators, not a ticket queue

U.S.-based analysts running staggered shifts for round-the-clock coverage — real humans investigating, containing, and calling you when it matters. One SOC process, one stack, one bar for analyst quality, applied consistently to clients across U.S., Canadian, EU, and Asia-Pacific operations.

Built for the regulated mid-market

CMMC and DIB, healthcare, financial services, legal, manufacturing, and shipping & logistics — multi-cloud teams running on Trellix, AWS, and Microsoft with real regulatory exposure and realistic budgets. Enterprise-grade controls without Tier-1 MSSP complexity.

Reporting your executives will read

Monthly risk-and-action reports: what was detected, what was contained, what's still open, and what it means for your business. No vendor-speak, no PDF dashboards designed only to impress auditors.

Shared responsibility

Who owns what, in plain English.

Co-managed security only works if the lines are drawn up front. We don't replace your IT team, your governance, or your ownership of business risk — we operate the security work that runs alongside it. Here's the default split. We tighten it in writing during onboarding.

Function

Cyberuptive owns

You own

Detection & monitoring

Cyberuptive: SIEM operation, alert triage, threat hunting, and tuning across Microsoft signal sources.

You: Asset ownership, log source approval, and authoritative inventory of users, endpoints, and tenants.
Incident response

Cyberuptive: Investigation, containment under pre-authorized rules (endpoint isolation, account disable, IOC block), and incident reporting.

You: Business-risk decisions, customer/regulator notification, legal counsel, and final remediation authority unless contractually delegated.
Patch & vulnerability management

Cyberuptive: Scanning, KEV/EPSS-based prioritization, patch deployment within approved windows, and exception tracking.

You: Change windows, application-owner approvals, and risk acceptance for any deferred or excepted vulnerabilities.
Identity & Microsoft 365 / Azure hardening

Cyberuptive: Conditional Access, PIM, Defender, Sentinel, and Purview configuration; baseline hardening; drift monitoring.

You: Tenant ownership, license decisions, joiner/mover/leaver process, and approval of identity policy changes.
Compliance & audit evidence

Cyberuptive: Running the technical controls that produce evidence; scoping, gap analysis, SSPs, and POA&Ms when contracted.

You: Policy ownership, internal governance, auditor relationship, attestations, and final framework interpretation.
Advisory & recommendations

Cyberuptive: Monthly risk-and-action reviews, prioritized recommendations, and roadmap input on what's risky next.

You: Internal IT operations, end-user support, business prioritization, and final say on what gets done and when.

Proof points your team can track

Metrics we help you operationalize.

We don't lead with stock percentages or borrowed case studies. We lead with the measurements your security program should actually run on — and we wire the telemetry, reporting cadence, and reviews to keep them honest. These are the proof points we help operationalize from day one.

Detection

Alert triage speed

Time from signal to investigated alert and time to first analyst action. Tracked per severity, reviewed monthly.
Response

Incident containment

Time from detection to containment action (isolation, account disable, IOC block), under pre-authorized rules of engagement.
Vulnerability

Patch closure & vuln backlog

KEV/EPSS-prioritized closure rates, exception aging, and the trendline on your overall vulnerability backlog.
Telemetry coverage

Signal coverage

Telemetry coverage across endpoints (Trellix EDR/EDR-F), cloud (AWS, Azure), and identity (Entra, IAM, Defender) — versus your tenant baseline. Visibility gaps are tickets, not footnotes.
Identity

Privileged access posture

Standing privilege, MFA enforcement, Conditional Access drift, and PIM activation patterns across Entra.
Compliance

Audit readiness

Control coverage, evidence completeness, and open policy exceptions mapped to CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIS2, or DORA — whichever applies.

We won't publish stock percentages we can't tie to your environment. Once you're live, your monthly review reports the numbers above against your own baseline — and the trend that matters more than any single point-in-time figure.

Compliance support

Frameworks we operate inside.

Compliance is a side-effect of a working security program. We run the controls that produce your evidence — for the lifetime of the contract — and we handle the scoping, SSPs, and POA&Ms when you need them.
