White Hat IT Security is a managed security service provider headquartered in Budapest, with a presence in Munich. Its flagship offering is a 24/7 managed SOC that onboards, configures and continuously tunes customers’ Microsoft security stack, and it positions MDR as a remote SOC-as-a-Service entry point to its broader managed security portfolio.
The company reports holding Microsoft’s MXDR specialization and also offers penetration testing. Founded in 2018, it focuses on Central and Eastern European and wider EU customers who want Microsoft-native detection and response with regional delivery.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Built a Microsoft-centric MXDR service within a few years of founding; incremental over standard MDR.
24/7 SOC tuning Microsoft Defender and Sentinel directly addresses a common capability gap in mid-sized firms.
Microsoft MXDR specialization and EU presence are positive signs, but customer scale is not publicly disclosed.
Conventional MSSP model on a vendor stack.
Microsoft program verification is an external signal, but no named incident or independent test evidence was found.
Microsoft-native managed detection remains in demand across Europe.
Why CISOs Should Care
Lets Microsoft-heavy organisations in Europe outsource detection and response to a regional SOC that already specialises in that stack.
What Makes It Different
Narrow focus on the Microsoft security portfolio with transparent endpoint-based pricing for MDR.
The Matrix Verdict
57/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
Tier: Incremental Innovator. Solid regional MSSP with a verified Microsoft specialization but limited public evidence of scale.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Claims about being the only company in its region with MXDR are self-reported.
