# Critical Start

> Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider delivering human-validated cybersecurity operations backed by contractual SLAs.

## What We Do

Critical Start provides MDR services that combine agentic AI automation with human-led investigation. Every alert is investigated by a human analyst — AI accelerates triage and enrichment, but never replaces human judgment. Services are backed by contractual SLAs with financial consequences (service credits), not just aspirational targets.

## Core Platform

- **CORR Platform**: Full-visibility security operations dashboard giving customers real-time access to every alert, investigation, and response action
- **Trusted Behavior Registry (TBR)**: Deterministic ML that auto-resolves ~99% of known-good behavior, reducing alert noise without suppressing signals
- **MobileSOC**: Mobile security operations app for real-time alert management — no competitor equivalent exists
- **Agentic AI Pipeline**: Six named agents (TBR Agent, Case Agent, Investigation Agent, URL Analysis Agent, Suggested Verdict Agent, Summary Agent) orchestrate investigations

5. **MobileSOC** — only mobile security operations app in the market
