MSSPs typically have dedicated teams for incident response that can quickly react to security breaches or incidents. They can provide forensic analysis, mitigate the damage, and help recover data and systems, often working around the clock to resolve issues.

Pricing models for MSSP services can vary widely and may include monthly or annual subscription fees, pay-per-use fees, or a combination of both. Pricing often depends on the scope of services, the size of the business, and specific security needs.

Transitioning to an MSSP involves assessing your current cybersecurity posture, identifying gaps and needs, selecting an MSSP that aligns with your requirements, and then working closely with them to integrate their services into your operations. A thorough onboarding process, clear communication, and setting expectations are key to a successful transition.
