One Sequretek XDR India deployment. One managed SOC. One queue of alerts that actually matter.
How a 220-person NBFC in Pune cut its daily alert queue from 340 tickets to 12 real ones in six weeks. Story below.
Sequretek XDR & Managed SOC at a glance
Why Sequretek anchors most Indian XDR and managed SOC estates, and the one thing worth checking before you sign.
- Vendor
- Sequretek IT Solutions Private Limited, founded 2013 in Mumbai. Indian-owned, no foreign parent, no acquisitions.
- What it does
- Percept XDR and NG SIEM correlate alerts from endpoint, network, cloud and identity into one queue, backed by a 24×7 managed SOC team on Sequretek’s side, so a real analyst, not just an algorithm, decides what actually needs your attention.
- Who it fits
- Mid-market Indian businesses, BFSI, manufacturing, IT/ITES, that want one vendor for detection and response instead of building an in-house SOC.
- Entry price band
- Indicative from roughly Rs 2 to 4 lakh a year for a starter Percept XDR plus managed SOC package*, scaling with endpoint count and log volume.
- Why buyers pick it
- Full-stack Indian IP across XDR, EDR and identity, bundled with the managed SOC instead of sold as an add-on. Strong fit for Make in India and data-sovereignty mandates, with a Gartner Peer Insights rating of 4.5 out of 5.
- Who should look elsewhere
- If your compliance mandate specifically names a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader, or your global HQ has already standardised on CrowdStrike or Microsoft Sentinel, layering in a second XDR console adds noise, not clarity.

Pick the range that matches the use case. We size the mix in the free 30-minute review.
Percept XDR & NG SIEM
The core platform. Correlates alerts across endpoint, network, cloud and identity into one queue, with 600+ built-in use cases, so your team stops flipping between four different consoles to find the one alert that matters.
- AI-driven correlation, not just log storage
- 600+ pre-built detection use cases
- Backed by Sequretek’s own 24×7 SOC
Percept EDR
Endpoint detection and response for the laptops and servers your Percept XDR queue is already watching.
- Behavioural detection, not signature-only
- Isolates an infected endpoint on command
- Feeds straight into the XDR console
Percept Identity
Identity governance and administration. Tracks who has access to what, and flags access nobody remembers granting.
- Access reviews on a schedule, not a scramble
- Maps to most Indian audit checklists
- Formerly marketed as Percept IGA
Percept CTEM
Continuous threat exposure management, launched June 2025. Finds the gaps before an auditor or an attacker does.
- Continuous, not annual, exposure scanning
- Prioritises fixes by real business risk
- Newest addition to the Percept platform
Percept Compliance Manager
Maps your control evidence to the frameworks your auditor already asks for, so audit week stops being a scramble through spreadsheets and screenshots.
- Pre-mapped to common Indian and global frameworks
- Pulls evidence straight from your Percept estate
- Cuts audit prep from weeks to days
Sequretek XDR & Managed SOC vs CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft
All four are honest choices. Most Indian buyers land on the first option for service depth and ecosystem fit.
One honest caveat before the table: Sequretek is a smaller name than CrowdStrike or SentinelOne, with roughly 120 to 150 customers worldwide against their much larger install base. If your board wants a vendor a global analyst already tracks by name, that recognition gap is real. What Sequretek brings instead is a validated 4.5 out of 5 rating on Gartner Peer Insights, recognition from Avasant and NASSCOM, and BFSI-grade references through its HDFC Bank and FIS partnerships, which counts for more with an Indian regulator than a Magic Quadrant logo.
| Brand | Where it wins | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Sequretek Percept | Indigenous Indian IP, data-sovereignty fit, managed SOC bundled at a lower total cost | Mid-market Indian businesses that want one vendor for detection, response and audit evidence |
| CrowdStrike Falcon | Deepest global threat intelligence, strongest brand recognition with global auditors | Large enterprises with a mature in-house SOC and global compliance scope |
| SentinelOne | Fully autonomous endpoint response with minimal human tuning | Lean IT teams that want detection to act on its own, without waiting on a SOC call |
| Microsoft Sentinel | Near-native fit if you already run deep in Azure and Microsoft 365 E5 | Microsoft-first estates where Sentinel rides on licences you already own |

Sequretek XDR & Managed SOC India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
Is Sequretek’s Percept XDR good enough for a business with no in-house SOC?
Yes, that is the main use case. The managed SOC is bundled, not an add-on you configure yourself. Sequretek’s own analysts watch the queue and escalate what is real. If you already run a mature SOC, you may only need the platform licence, not the managed layer.
How does Sequretek compare to CrowdStrike or SentinelOne on price?
Lower, generally, because the managed SOC is priced into the platform rather than sold as a separate premium tier. The honest tradeoff is brand recognition: CrowdStrike and SentinelOne carry more weight with a global auditor. For an Indian regulator or a domestic audit, that gap matters less.
Is Sequretek’s data actually kept in India?
Sequretek is an Indian company with no foreign parent, and this is one of its main selling points for data-sovereignty-sensitive buyers. Confirm your specific hosting region in the scoping call, since exact data-centre placement can vary by deployment.
What does the managed SOC actually cover, and what does it not cover?
It covers alert triage, correlation and escalation from your Percept XDR, EDR and SIEM data. It does not replace your own incident-response decisions, legal notification obligations, or a full penetration test. Think of it as the team that tells you which three alerts out of three hundred need your attention today.
How long does a Percept XDR deployment take?
A single-site mid-market deployment usually runs two to four weeks from the scoping call to SOC handover, depending on endpoint count and how many log sources need onboarding. Multi-branch estates take longer because each site needs its own agent rollout. Ask for a written handover checklist before you sign, so you know exactly when the SOC team takes over watch.
Does Sequretek work for a small IT team, or only large security teams?
It is built for exactly the small-team case. A two- or three-person IT team cannot staff a 24×7 SOC on its own. Percept’s managed layer exists so that team does not have to.
Does Sequretek’s managed SOC replace cyber insurance or an incident response retainer?
No. The managed SOC catches and triages the alert. It does not replace your cyber insurance policy, your breach-notification obligations under India’s DPDP Act, or a dedicated incident-response retainer for a major breach. Think of Percept’s SOC as the early-warning layer that buys your team time to bring in those other pieces before a small incident becomes a large one.
