Your Margins Are Under Attack. Here's How to Fight Back.

Successful Service Providers Must Keep Finances Green
MSSPs don’t succeed because of the vendors they choose or the SIEM they prefer. They succeed when their operating model scales profitably. Yet most industry content feels like sales brochures, comparing one tool to another. The truth is, successful providers use many combinations of vendors. What separates winners from losers isn’t which tools they pick, it’s the foundation they build on.
Foundation determines financial future
Most service providers treat their costs as a series of additions:
EDR + SIEM + SOAR + forensics tools + log storage
When applying this theory to the marketplace they find their margins suffering because it ignores the real problem, scaling. When you're managing dozens or hundreds of clients, every inefficiency compounds exponentially.
Picking a mix of major vendors and open source tools to provide your services invites scaling problems that will hobble your growth. The end result is the foundation of your business is architected by others who largely created tools to service a single organization. Forcibly scaling this tooling to handle multiple, independent organizations is a costly and time consuming exercise. Why start your business at such a disadvantage?
Cloud-based security scales naturally
LimaCharlie gives MSSPs a different foundation: a cloud-native platform with built-in multitenancy, usage-based pricing, and integrated security functions. You get centralized control of infrastructure, without the overhead.
What kind of results can you expect by adopting a cloud-based security platform?
This is what our customers report:
Benefit | Before LimaCharlie | After LimaCharlie |
Slash operational costs | MSSPs struggle with heavy infrastructure costs, licensing fees, maintenance efforts, and data expenses. | MSSPs reduce onboarding time, eliminate infrastructure maintenance, and simplify operations. Service providers report a unit cost reduction of up to 60%. |
Reduce complexity | Complex Kafka clusters require constant maintenance and specialized expertise. | Cloud-hosted adapters eliminate Kafka nightmares overnight. |
Eliminate data storage expenses | Paying $1-$2.50 per GB, per month, hot data storage. | One rolling year free data retention included. |
Simplify operational costs | Complex contract negotiations and faulty customer usage projections. | Simple pay-for-what-you-use cloud pricing. Telemetry sources cost $0.20 per GB. |
Solve alert fatigue | MSSPs see over 50% of EDR block actions are false positives. | Eliminate false positives by achieving full transparency and customizing the security stack to fit the environment. |
Native multitenancy | MSSPs struggle to fully separate their customers and scale their tooling to match each organization’s growth. | The SecOps Cloud Platform provides native multitenancy and intuitive scalability. |
Vendor neutral, extremely interoperable. | Financial commitments to vendors who may become your competitor. Black box security solutions hide vital insights from your organization. | Integrate any third-party, open source, and in-house solution in your security stack. Centralize control of security operations. |
Differentiate your business | Service providers are often seen as offering identical services, sparking a competitive race-to-the-lowest prices. | Build new solutions or tailor existing ones to your customer’s environment. Integrate solutions, automate workflows, develop in-house detection logic. |
Sleeper Mode deployment | Potential customers balk at demos requiring large-scale and expensive endpoint deployments. | LimaCharlie lightweight agents can be deployed in sleeper mode for $0.10 per endpoint, per month. |
