Already running CrowdStrike or Sophos? Do not switch. Layer.
We rarely recommend mid-contract EDR replacements. Keep your existing agent. Add the compliance, training, password, and DNS-filtering pieces your EDR was never meant to cover.
Why we do not pitch rip-and-replace
Mid-contract switching costs are real. Engineering time to roll out a new agent across every device. Tuning new alerts. Re-training the team on a new console. Risk of a coverage gap during the migration window. And on top of that, the contractual cost of breaking an existing MDR or EDR contract early.
The marginal coverage gain from swapping one serious EDR for another rarely justifies the pain. We have watched customers try and fail at this. Our honest stance: if you already have CrowdStrike, Sophos, SentinelOne, or any other paid EDR working in production, keep it.
What we add to a serious-EDR deployment
Compliance evidence collection
CSA Cyber Essentials, DPE and MAS-TRM evidence packs, plus HIA readiness evidence, assembled from your live telemetry. Your EDR produces alerts. We turn them into audit-ready evidence.
Bite-sized continuous training
Short, gamified modules built around real Singapore SME breaches. Simulated phishing campaigns run alongside. Completion records collected automatically for the auditor.
Team password manager
Shared vaults, strength enforcement, and easy offboarding. No EDR comes with this. Auditors look for the policy and the tool.
DNS filtering for off-LAN traffic
Coverage for staff on home Wi-Fi, hotel networks, and phone tethering. Your perimeter firewall does not see this. Your EDR was not built for it.
Single-console reporting
EDR alerts plus training records plus password audit plus compliance status in one view. The owner sees one page on Monday and knows where they stand.
In-app case escalation
One-tap escalation from the StrongKeep console when something is blocked or quarantined incorrectly. Cases route to a human on the StrongKeep team. Clinical and payment-flow false positives resolve quickly inside business hours.
The layering pattern in practice
The shape of the engagement is the same across customers who already have a serious EDR in production. The EDR agent stays. The contract stays. The renewal date stays. What changes is what runs alongside it.
StrongKeep deploys in parallel and takes on the four control areas the EDR was never built to deliver: compliance evidence, awareness training records, team password management, and DNS filtering for off-LAN traffic. The customer sees one console for the rest of their stack, and the EDR continues to do what it already does well.
When we would revisit consolidation
At your EDR renewal date. Not before. Ninety days before the contract is up, the conversation is about whether Cortex EDR (the engine inside our Protection plan) would meet your bar at a lower line-item cost.
Sometimes the answer is yes and the customer consolidates. Sometimes the answer is no and the customer renews with CrowdStrike or Sophos and keeps the StrongKeep layer. Both outcomes are fine. The point is the conversation happens at renewal, on the customer's timeline, not ours.
Keep your EDR. Close the rest of the gap.
The Compliance plan layers on top of any existing EDR. CSA Cyber Essentials, training, password manager, DNS filtering, and the single-console reporting layer.
