Detection engineering and SOC operations for enterprise security teams
RiverSafe is a 14-year-old security services firm built around detection engineering, incident response frameworks, and SOC enablement. The stack is Microsoft-native (Sentinel, Azure, Defender) with Splunk for enterprise deployments, and projects center on MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection rules, KQL query optimization, and playbook design — suggesting a shift from reactive threat response toward proactive, repeatable detection content. All five active hires are senior-level security roles in the UK, pointing to delivery capacity constraints on high-touch consulting engagements.
RiverSafe provides cybersecurity and application security consulting to mid-market and enterprise organizations, with particular depth in security operations center enablement and incident response maturation. The firm specializes in detection engineering, SIEM/SOAR deployment and tuning, cloud security (Azure and AWS), and DevSecOps integration. Work spans content migration (moving detection logic between platforms), threat intelligence operationalization, and tabletop exercises. Clients are primarily in regulated and high-security-posture industries requiring audit-ready frameworks and low false-positive detection stacks.
