MDR-X Success Story

MDR mapped to TSA regulations, security alerts managed, compliance assured

A major telco requested to work with ITHQ on their complex Rapid7 MDR deployment, after a previous attempt under standard SLA had faltered. Now fully deployed on time, they are realising significant benefits from the exceptional MDR-X solution.

After their first disappointing attempt at deploying MDR in 2022, a telco approached ITHQ early in their revamped 2025 project planning. The results of MDR-X were so positive, they said working with ITHQ was like, 'chalk and cheese', compared with their previous failure.

Thanks to the extended SLAs underpinning MDR-X, the telco now has the Rapid7 platform they need. Managed services from ITHQ ensure compliance with the Telecoms Security Act, full configurations, and more.

It would not be possible without the support of ITHQ

"On one of our customer Wi-Fi systems, for example, we have 1600 concurrent connections every weekend so performance is obviously vital. Our systems show that not only has the amount of monitored endpoints doubled, but the number of alerts has actually reduced to one-sixth of what they were."

Philip Mitchell
IT Director, The Hippodrome Casino, London
I have the confidence in a full disaster recovery test. That wasn't the case before ITHQ.

"ITHQ has all the expertise and a rapid onboarding process that ensured we were fully set up in a short time."
