Your tools generate thousands of alerts.
Your team can’t triage them all.
Meanwhile, adversaries operate at night, on weekends, and in languages your SIEM doesn’t flag.
Built for the threats that target Europe. Not adapted for them.
Global MDR providers monitor the world. We monitor the adversaries active in Europe — their infrastructure, their campaigns, their specific targets. When an attack hits a European organisation, our analysts have seen it before.
European threat intelligence
IOC feeds and actor tracking derived from years of monitoring offensive infrastructures targeting European organisations, data global vendors don’t have.
Human-first, not tool-first
“Technologies and platforms are tools, not security by themselves.” Analysts, not dashboards, own your defence.
ISO-certified operations
ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001
vendor agnostic
We integrate with your existing security stack. No forced migrations, no lock-in to our tooling.
The services behind the defence. Operated by analysts, not algorithms.
Six integrated capabilities: security monitoring, SIEM, cloud security, incident response, threat hunting and cyber threat intelligence.
Each run by specialists who understand how European adversaries operate.
24/7 Security Monitoring
Continuous surveillance across endpoint, cloud, network and identity. Human analysts on every alert.
Incident response
Detection, containment, eradication, recovery and post-incident analysis.
Managed siem
Event correlation, detection engineering, noise reduction built on your existing data sources.
proactive threat hunting
Hypothesis-driven search for adversaries already inside your environment; not waiting for alerts.
cloud security
Real-time monitoring for Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud environments.
cyber threat intelligence
IOC feeds, intelligence reports and actor tracking with a specific focus on threats targeting Europe.

MDR vs. MSSP: Why Traditional Monitoring Is No Longer Enough
Many organizations mistake a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) for a complete security solution. While an MSSP is effective for compliance and basic log management, it often fails against modern, sophisticated threats.
The gap lies in the Response.
An MSSP tells you there is a fire; Fortgale’s MDR enters the building to put it out.
The Tactical Difference
Traditional MSSPs are technology-centric. They manage your firewalls and SIEM, sending you a flood of alerts that your internal team must then triage. This leads to “alert fatigue” and missed intrusions.
Fortgale MDR is human-led and outcome-oriented. We don’t just monitor logs; we hunt for threats, validate every anomaly, and take decisive action to neutralize attackers before they can cause damage.
Beyond the Dashboard: Active Containment
The most critical failure of the MSSP model is the “hand-off.” When a critical breach is detected at 3:00 AM, an MSSP sends an email. Fortgale MDR acts immediately. Our analysts use Advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Cloud tools to isolate infected hosts, revoke compromised credentials, and block malicious traffic in real-time.
Reducing Your “Mean Time to Respond” (MTTR)
In modern cybersecurity, time is the only metric that matters. Attackers can encrypt a network in hours.
- MSSP Approach: Detection can take days; response is left to the client
- Fortgale MDR Approach: We aim for detection and containment in minutes, drastically reducing the blast radius of any potential attack
Engineering Resilience:
The Intelligence-Led Technology Stack
At Fortgale, we believe that tools are only as effective as the analysts who wield them. Our MDR service is built on a vendor-agnostic architecture that integrates deep telemetry from your entire ecosystem (endpoint, network, cloud, and identity) into a unified defense-in-depth model.
Mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework
We don’t just look for “malware”; we hunt for adversary behaviors. Our detection engineering is rigorously mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, allowing us to identify every stage of a breach:
- Initial Access & Persistence: Detecting “living off the land” techniques and unauthorized credential usage.
- Lateral Movement: Tracking attackers as they attempt to pivot through your infrastructure.
- Exfiltration & Impact: Identifying and intercepting data theft attempts before the damage is done.
Strategic Compliance: Bridging the Gap Between Law and Security
Regulatory requirements in Europe have shifted from “best effort” to mandatory resilience. Whether you are navigating the complexities of NIS2, the strict requirements of DORA, or maintaining ISO 27001 certification, Fortgale’s MDR provides the technical evidence and operational speed required to stay compliant.
NIS2 Directive: Meet the Gold Standard of EU Resilience
The NIS2 Directive expands the scope of cybersecurity obligations to thousands of “Essential” and “Important” entities. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to €10M or 2% of global turnover.
Fortgale MDR directly addresses the core pillars of NIS2:
- Incident Handling & Reporting: We ensure you meet the strict 24-hour “early warning” and 72-hour incident notification deadlines required by EU authorities.
- Supply Chain Security: Our monitoring extends to your digital dependencies, identifying risks before they propagate through your ecosystem.
- Management Accountability: We provide the high-level reporting necessary for Board members to demonstrate “due diligence” in risk management.
DORA: Digital Operational Resilience for Finance
For financial institutions, banks, and fintech providers, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is the new benchmark. It demands more than just protection; it demands the ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions.
- Continuous Monitoring: Our SOC provides the real-time visibility mandated by DORA’s ICT risk management framework.
- Threat-Led Testing: We support your resilience strategy with advanced Threat Hunting and intelligence-led analysis, mirroring the tactics of real-world adversaries.
ISO 27001: Evidence-Based Security Controls
Maintaining an ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) requires continuous improvement and rigorous monitoring.
Fortgale MDR serves as a critical control for:
- Annex A.12: Operations Security (Logging and Monitoring).
- Annex A.16: Information Security Incident Management.
Instead of manual audits, we provide continuous, automated evidence of your security posture, making your recertification process faster and more reliable.

Case Studies of Fortgale’s Successful Incident Management
Fortgale has handled a variety of complex Cyber Threats in the Aerospace industry. Three notable cases that demonstrate our expertise and capabilities involve the Raspberry Robin malware, sophisticated phishing campaign targeting C-level executives and.
Raspberry Robin, first noticed in September 2021, is a worm that initially spread through USB drives, later evolving into a more complex malware with links to other malware families and human-operated ransomware activities.
In another instance, Fortgale effectively countered a sophisticated phishing attack known as EvilProxy, which targeted high-value executives, including vice presidents and C-level personnel, in hundreds of organizations worldwide.
Fortgale has effectively managed the threat posed by an Italian threat actor known as Nebula Broker, which has been active since the end of 2020, particularly impacting sectors like Transport and Aeronautics.
