ENDPOINT MONITORING

Firethorne Tech provides 24/7 endpoint monitoring and MDR services designed for regulated industries. We secure your workstations, laptops, and mobile devices with continuous visibility, real-time threat response, and compliance alignment.

WHY ENDPOINT MONITORING MATTERS

Endpoints are the most targeted part of your IT environment — and often the first line of attack for ransomware, phishing, and insider threats. Compliance frameworks such as CMMC, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 all require organizations to demonstrate continuous monitoring, log retention, and incident response. Without endpoint monitoring, threats can go undetected for weeks, creating compliance gaps and exposing sensitive data.

Firethorne ensures your endpoints are continuously monitored, patched, and protected, giving you the visibility and evidence you need to stay secure and audit-ready.

CORE FEATURES OF ENDPOINT MONITORING & MDR

Endpoint monitoring and MDR services provide more than antivirus or patching — they combine real-time visibility, advanced detection, and human-led response. For regulated industries, this isn’t optional; it’s required. Frameworks like CMMC, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 demand organizations prove that their endpoints are continuously monitored, threats are contained, and evidence is available for auditors. Firethorne delivers all of this through a security-first, compliance-driven approach that keeps your endpoints both productive and audit-ready.

Below is a breakdown of the core features that make our endpoint monitoring and MDR services essential:

Real-Time Threat Detection

Endpoints are constantly targeted by phishing, ransomware, and unauthorized access attempts. Firethorne’s monitoring tools run 24/7, identifying threats as soon as they appear and alerting before damage occurs. Real-time detection helps stop attacks early and provides the logs needed to demonstrate continuous monitoring for compliance frameworks.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Traditional antivirus only stops known threats. EDR adds behavioral analysis, advanced detection, and automated containment to stop unknown or evolving attacks. It also creates forensic records of what occurred on the device, providing detailed audit evidence required by CMMC and NIST 800-171.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

EDR produces alerts, but someone needs to investigate them. Firethorne’s US-based SOC team provides MDR — investigating alerts, validating real threats, and taking action. MDR ensures threats are contained quickly, minimizing downtime and providing documented response steps that auditors expect for compliance.
Patch and Update Verification

Compliance frameworks require that systems are kept patched and up to date. Firethorne’s monitoring verifies whether endpoints have the latest OS and application updates, reducing vulnerabilities and closing compliance gaps. Unpatched systems are one of the leading causes of breaches — and failed audits.
Compliance Alignment

Every monitoring and response policy is mapped to the frameworks your business must meet. Whether it’s CMMC access control requirements, HIPAA safeguards for PHI, or PCI-DSS monitoring rules, Firethorne ensures endpoint monitoring enforces compliance while improving security.
Device Health & Performance Tracking

Endpoints must also remain productive. Firethorne tracks CPU, memory, and storage performance across all devices, enabling proactive support before performance issues disrupt business operations. This reduces downtime while supporting compliance requirements for system maintenance.
Reporting & Audit Evidence

Auditors require proof, not just claims. Firethorne delivers regular compliance-ready reports showing endpoint health, patch status, threat detections, and response actions. These reports give leadership visibility and provide auditors with the evidence required to demonstrate continuous monitoring and incident response.

MAPPING ENDPOINT MONITORING & MDR TO COMPLIANCE

Compliance frameworks require proof that endpoints are continuously monitored, patched, and protected. Firethorne’s endpoint monitoring and MDR services are aligned with the technical safeguards and control families from CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001. By combining real-time monitoring, automated response, and human-led MDR, we deliver the evidence and visibility auditors expect.
