Can StrikeReady be self hosted or run in a private VPC?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. StrikeReady publishes public evidence of self hosted or private VPC deployment, along with data residency options for controlling where agent data is processed and stored. Evidence basis: Deployment supports "Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid, IT/OT" environments, so the platform can run in the customer's own environment. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does StrikeReady give you tracing and observability into agent runs?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. StrikeReady publishes public evidence of tracing, observability and audit logging into agent runs, so a team can see what an agent did and why. Evidence basis: Every step of an investigation stays on the record, from the evidence and the actions taken to the reasoning applied, and StrikeReady claims "the auditability to prove it's delivering". Investigation records are kept for every alert. The ri. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does StrikeReady have SOC 2, SSO and role based access control?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. StrikeReady publishes some public evidence of security and identity controls, but narrower than the full set of SOC 2, single sign on (SSO) and role based access control (RBAC).

AI security operations platform whose deterministic agents build a memory of the customer's environment, investigate every alert and act across 400+ two-way integrations at a chosen autonomy level; cloud, on-prem or hybrid.

StrikeReady sells an AI security operations platform built on what it calls Composite AI. Deterministic agents first build a memory of the customer's environment, then each alert is investigated with that context, with each task routed to the right model and reasoning level, and what the platform learns is carried from one investigation to the next. It works at the autonomy level the customer chooses, from fully automated to human-in-the-loop to analyst-initiated, and takes alerts from investigation to action across 400+ two-way integrations covering EDR, identity, cloud, email, network and SIEM.

StrikeReady also scores incoming threat intelligence against the customer's assets and identities and validates defenses against the intelligence relevant to the environment. The platform includes CARA, a Cyber AI Response Analyst that advises, hunts and responds, and the company says it has built 25+ agents. It deploys in cloud, on-premise, hybrid and IT/OT environments and shows SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001 and GDPR marks. Pricing is based on the customer's environment rather than AI consumption. StrikeReady was founded in 2019 by CEO Yasir Khalid with a team that includes CTO Alex Lanstein and FireEye alumni.

Integrations

400+ two-way integrations across EDR, identity, cloud, email, network and SIEM tools, used both to investigate and to act, plus 100+ threat intelligence sources. StrikeReady names no public API or SDK.

In practice

The SOC gets more alerts in a day than its analysts can open. StrikeReady investigates every one with context about the environment already built, and takes each alert to action at the autonomy level the team has set.

A new threat report lands overnight. StrikeReady scores it against the organization's real assets and identities the moment it arrives, so the team only sees intelligence that applies to it.

An MSSP wants to offer managed detection without its costs climbing with AI usage. StrikeReady prices on the customer environment rather than AI consumption, and every step of each investigation stays on the record for the client.

Workflow Orchestration	Full
Composite AI combines deterministic agents with reasoning models and routes each task to the right model and reasoning level across the 25+ agents StrikeReady has built over seven years of SOC operations.

Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Actions run "within the level of autonomy you choose, from fully automated to human-in-the-loop to analyst-initiated", inside guardrails the customer sets.

Model Flexibility & Routing	Not documented
Composite AI routes each task to the right model and reasoning level inside StrikeReady, and StrikeReady does not name the model providers. Customers get no choice of model.
