ContraForce transforms how managed security services are delivered by allowing MSPs to jumpstart a new line of business, improve their margins and deliver better client outcomes.
The ContraForce Security Service Delivery Platform (SSDP) is specially built for MSPs. It decouples security services from the underlying software used to provide them and employs automation to improve service delivery. The platform simplifies complex security operations, enabling MSPs to accelerate security practice builds.
Drive increased productivity through your Microsoft practice, using the velocity and scale of the ContraForce SSDP to manage, operate and automate your existing Microsoft security stack with optimal workflows, built-in security engineering content, and enhanced multi-tenancy.
ContraForce has been a proud member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) since 2021 and was awarded Microsoft’s Security Software Innovator finalist in 2023 and Security ISV of the year in 2024.

Have qualified independent security service providers deliver a managed detection and response (MDR) service on your behalf.
How it works
Deploy or improve an in-house managed detection and response (MDR) offering.
How it works
In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, establishing a world-class managed detection and response (MDR) service is crucial for MSPs like you to keep your clients safe. With ContraForce, MSPs have new options for delivering an MDR service without the heavy upfront investment in skills and a security operations center (SOC) typically required to support an MDR service.
Together, Crayon and ContraForce allow you to rapidly launch and scale an MDR service that will:
Grow your MRR
Grow your monthly recurring revenue (MRR) by jumpstarting a new line of business that provides your clients with continuous threat detection and response. This new source of income allows you to strengthen your existing client relationships by growing your footprint within your install base and pre-empting competitors from getting a foothold. You can also grow your business by onboarding new Microsoft clients and easily managing other security and incident management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools.
Improve your Margins
AI-powered workflow automation allows your staff to work efficiently. They can spend less time on repetitive tasks and focus on resolving critical incidents faster. Automation also reduces your need for security expertise for most use cases, empowering your staff to deliver expert detection and response without having years of battle scars.
Create Competitive Advantage
Deliver better client outcomes by onboarding clients within minutes, quickly connecting their SIEM and EDR tools and getting same-day visibility into their threat landscape. Easily improve their security posture with 24/7 threat detection and by using automated response playbooks, to remediate threats within minutes.
The ContraForce Partner Program is designed to empower security service providers and resellers to deliver exceptional SecOps services to their customers. The ContraForce Partner Program offers security service providers and resellers the opportunity toexpand d market opportunities with new MDR and SOC service offerings that provide optimised systems and processes for faster deployment and increased ROI.
Flexible Pricing and Licensing
ContraForce Storm and ContraForce Spark provide real choice on the engagement model and service approach that works best for your business. Build knowledge and revenue with confidence by leveraging a third party to deliver the service with ContraForce Storm, switch to Spark if and when you’re ready or set up to self-manage an in-house MDR service from the start.
ContraForce provides scalable and cost-effective offerings to support your business as your security practice expands. Per-user pricing allows you to control costs as you grow, without heavy upfront outlay or long-term commitments. Moreover, there is no need to take on the investment, overheads or risk of building a SOC and hiring security staff (for most use cases).
Ongoing Support
ContraForce customer success managers provide technical support and online documentation to get you quickly onboarded and to resolve issues that occur while delivering your MDR service. Regular release notes and a monthly newsletter keep you up to date on new innovations.
ContraForce allows any MSP to deploy a new managed detection and response (MDR) service or improve an existing one.
Onboarding to the ContraForce platform takes 15 minutes. The same is true for you to onboard one of your clients.
The ContraForce customer success team can provide support during onboarding or you can make use of our online documentation to manage onboarding yourself.
ContraForce solutions are designed to augment the capabilities of your existing staff. There is no need to build a SOC or hire additional security staff (for most use cases) to deploy an MDR service.
ContraForce allows you to easily manage industry-leading SIEM and EDR solutions including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, SentinelOne Singularity EDR, Crowdstrike Falcon EDR, IBM QRadar SIEM and Splunk Enterprise Security.
