What is an EDR/XDR evaluation?
Bulletproof’s EDR/XDR Evaluation service is designed to support organisations during the proof-of-concept (PoC) or procurement phase of endpoint or extended detection and response platforms.
This service provides a structured, unbiased assessment of one or more EDR/XDR solutions by simulating common threat scenarios and measuring how each platform performs against them. We evaluate capabilities such as detection accuracy, response effectiveness, telemetry granularity, alert context, and analyst usability.
Our aim is to help you make informed purchasing decisions based on practical, side-by-side results rather than vendor claims.
Benefits of EDR/XDR evaluations
Unbiased comparison
We provide vendor-neutral, evidence-based insights into the actual capabilities of each platform, side by side.
Simulated real-world threats
Common attack techniques, including those used by active threat groups, are used to test visibility, alerts, and response features.
Platform-agnostic methodology
Evaluations can cover any EDR or XDR vendor, including both cloud-native and on-premise offerings.
Supports procurement decisions
Helps security teams and stakeholders select the platform that best meets operational needs and detection goals.
Fast, structured delivery
Engagements are designed for rapid execution in line with PoC timelines.
Continuous improvement
Use findings to refine your cyber defence strategy over time, integrating lessons learned into policies, controls, and team training for ongoing resilience gains.
Why your organisation needs an XDR / EDR evaluation
Choosing an EDR or XDR solution is a strategic decision — one that impacts your detection, response, and long-term defensive posture. Our evaluation service helps ensure that decision is made based on practical insight rather than marketing material.
This service is ideal for:
Security teams evaluating multiple platforms in a PoC
Organisations wanting real-world validation before committing to a licence
Procurement teams needing independent, data-backed recommendations
Environments with specific detection use cases or compliance goals
Stakeholders wanting to ensure value for investment and operational fit
XDR / EDR evaluation engagement phases
Bulletproof’s EDR/XDR Evaluation service focuses on measurable performance and detection quality across a defined set of attack techniques and behaviours.
Platform Setup Review
We work with your team to validate platform deployment, configuration, and baseline readiness — ensuring each solution is evaluated on a level playing field.
Test Case Development
We define a set of common threat behaviours for evaluation — typically based on MITRE ATT&CK techniques, real-world commodity threats, and detection use cases relevant to your organisation.
Controlled Threat Simulation
A series of controlled tests are executed in a lab or production-safe environment across all candidate platforms. Each scenario is carefully logged and observed to evaluate:
Alert generation and fidelity
Response capabilities (containment, isolation, etc.)
Telemetry detail and event traceability
Detection speed and visibility gaps
Analyst usability and investigative context
Side-by-Side Comparison Report
We compile a vendor-agnostic evaluation report with side-by-side results covering:
Strengths and limitations of each platform
Key detection differences
Operational usability observations
Recommendations based on your use case and security maturity
Learn more about EDR/XDR Evaluation (FAQs)
We use common techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and commodity threats including initial access, execution, persistence, and lateral movement all within controlled, low-risk scenarios.
We can compare two or more EDR/XDR platforms side by side, depending on environment availability and stakeholder timelines.
No. Testing can be performed in a PoC lab environment or restricted network segment to avoid any operational impact.
No. Bulletproof provides a completely neutral and evidence-based assessment, with no commercial relationships influencing platform rankings or outcomes.
