Accelerate Response, Benchmark Resilience,
Retain Data Custody, and Control Tech Spend.
Security Risk Advisors’ SCALR™ XDR is both a platform and a 24×7 managed service. It uses a powerful and extremely cost-effective security data lake architecture to minimize SIEM costs. This maximizes your ability to ingest and store security events, accelerate search, used trained agents and hunt. SCALR XDR is enhanced by SCALR AI and our distinctive Purple Teams & Threat Resilience Benchmarks.
Security Risk Advisors (SRA) has partnered with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the global non-profit organization that helps people affected by humanitarian crises. The IRC helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives in over 40 countries.
SRA is providing the SCALR™ XDR CyberSOC service at no cost to the IRC in support of their important global efforts.
Hot Takes!
The XDR and MSSP space needs modernization. Here is what we believe and are doing:
The old way of SIEM is over.
Stuffing all your logs into a SIEM costs way too much and doesn’t scale. Sentinel integrates seamlessly with hot, inexpensive Azure services.
Keep your data longer, you need it.
Your data lake extends your security data retention to 1 year. Many providers give you 30 days or less. You need data longer for hunting, forensics, and agent training.
Keep custody of your security data.
We deploy in your private Azure tenant, so you retain custody of your data. Sending your logs to an MSSP is old school and complex.
You deserve real ATT&CK benchmarks.
Our purple teams using VECTR™ help you tell your story of threat resilience over time and get actionable, data-driven feedback.
From signature to full signal.
We guide a structured rollout integrating with your log sources and working closely with your team to build lasting, production-ready capabilities.

Your SOC Accelerated by AI
SCALR AI is the agentive workflow operational layer built into your SCALR XDR platform. It is powered by multi-agent workflows resulting in human-in-the-loop actions.
SCALR AI also handles tasks that don’t need a human, enriching alerts with context, looking up attributes in your security data lake and summarizing your leadership’s situational awareness.
We don’t outright replace smart Tier 1 analysts. We enable them to focus on what they do best: thinking critically, investigating real threats, and responding effectively.
Use Cases
- Log Health Monitor & Alert: Identify, report and help fix log source anomalies that may indicate downed sources
- Incident Enrichment: Automatically add internal and external context to alerts to enhance MTTA and MTTR
- Daily SOC Summary and Analysis: Receive daily communications analyzing noteworthy events, including trends and recommendations
- Agentic Incident Response: Human-in-the-loop IR for common activities including resetting passwords, isolating hosts, and executing scans
Modern Data Pipeline Management
- Log cleansing reduces noise by eliminating unnecessary fields within log files.
- Log routing only sends critical events to the SIEM, and the rest are sent to the Data Lake.
- Modern Data Pipeline Management cuts down log size and reduces ingest cost.
Monitoring and notification
SRA can perform 24x7x365 real-time monitoring for your environment. Our team of Defenders will correlate and investigate security events in our transparent workspace (you can see what we are doing).
