• Optional AWS GovCloud hosting for CMMC compliance

BitLyft is an accessible MDR solution for mid-markets, with published per-user pricing starting at $25.99 per month. Its automation is playbook-driven rather than a fully agentic MDR offering, but it offers 24/7/365 US-based SOC backed by AI-assisted triage. We’d recommend BitLyft to mid-market Microsoft 365 organizations, particularly in defense, education and regulated industries, that want automated response and a US-based human SOC at a transparent price.

Binary Defense’s model is all about removing the frustration of typical alerts, delivering an almost complete threat investigation before the analyst even has to click on a notification. Another strength is the open nature of the platform, you can run it yourself or have the team run it for you, and the platform is vendor agnostic. We’d recommend Binary Defense to mid-sized and large organizations that want autonomous investigation with humans in command of response.
