Basildon Borough Council | Non Profit | 900 | $1.2B | United Kingdom | CrowdStrike | CrowdStrike Managed Services | Security MSP | 2024 |
In 2024 Basildon Borough Council moved to a fully managed detection and response model by adopting CrowdStrike Managed Services, implemented as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. The engagement was initiated after a service review led by Softcat and is categorized under Security MSP, reflecting a shift to outsourced, vendor-operated security operations to relieve internal IT capacity constraints.
CrowdStrike Managed Services was configured to provide core Security MSP capabilities including continuous endpoint detection and response, 24 7 monitoring, proactive threat hunting, and managed incident response orchestration. The deployment emphasizes turnkey incident investigation and containment workflows, endpoint telemetry collection, and centralized alert triage to streamline security operations and reduce day to day operational tasks for the council IT team.
The delivery model was executed in partnership with Softcat, which led the service review and coordinated the engagement between Basildon Borough Council and CrowdStrike. Operational coverage targeted council IT operations and information security functions with a focus on protecting citizen data within the United Kingdom, and vendor management was consolidated to simplify supplier oversight.
Governance changes included shifting primary detection and response ownership to the managed service provider, updating internal escalation and vendor liaison workflows, and reducing routine security operations responsibilities for internal staff. Reported outcomes from the engagement included improved threat detection, simplified vendor management, and a reduced operational burden for internal teams.
