What is Multi-Tenancy in SIRP?

Multi-tenancy in SIRP enables MSSPs to host and manage multiple customers securely within a single platform. Each client (tenant) has its own virtualized security environment, complete with custom dashboards, playbooks, and integrations. This ensures complete data segregation while allowing MSSPs to seamlessly switch between clients with just a click.

With SIRP, MSSPs get two deployment models:

• Consolidated Multi-Tenancy: A centralized, single-instance model where all tenant data is stored and processed on the MSSP’s appliance.
• Distributed Multi-Tenancy: A dedicated, per-client SIRP appliance setup, ensuring each customer retains full control over their security data.

So which one is right for you? Let’s dive in.

The Consolidated MSSP Architecture: Centralized and Scalable

What It Is

The Consolidated Architecture is designed for MSSPs that want a single, powerful security instance to manage multiple clients efficiently. All security data resides within a single SIRP appliance hosted by the MSSP, offering a centralized view of security events and threats.

Key Features

 Multi-Tenancy at Its Best: Manage all clients through a single dashboard while ensuring logical data separation.
Global View Dashboard: Monitor security metrics across all tenants in one place.
Effortless Playbook Deployment: Design once, deploy across multiple clients.
Simplified Operations: SOC analysts can manage incidents, vulnerabilities, and threat intelligence without switching environments.
Scalability: Onboard new clients quickly without increasing hardware requirements.
Cost-Efficiency: Reduces infrastructure costs by up to 40% compared to traditional single-tenant models.

Real-World Use Case

A leading MSSP in Europe implemented SIRP’s Consolidated Architecture and reduced incident response time by 50%. By utilizing a Global View Dashboard, their SOC analysts were able to prioritize security incidents more effectively across multiple clients. Furthermore, automation reduced manual workload by 30%, allowing them to scale operations without hiring additional staff.

Before switching to SIRP, the MSSP faced inefficiencies due to separate security management instances for each client, resulting in fragmented incident response. After consolidation, their mean time to detect (MTTD) threats improved from 8 hours to just 2 hours, drastically improving service delivery and client satisfaction.

Best for MSSPs That:

✔️ Have clients comfortable with their data being processed externally.
✔️ Need a cost-effective, efficient way to manage multiple customers.
✔️ Want to streamline operations using centralized automation and orchestration.

The Distributed MSSP Architecture: Prioritizing Data Sovereignty

What It Is

For MSSPs working with clients who demand data residency and control, the Distributed Architecture is the answer. Each customer gets a dedicated SIRP appliance within their own environment, ensuring that all security data stays on-premises.

A Master Node at the MSSP’s end allows security analysts to access all customer instances through Single Sign-On (SSO), ensuring ease of management without compromising security.

Key Features

 Data Sovereignty: Each customer retains full control of their security data.
Dedicated Security Appliances: One SIRP instance per client, preventing data intermixing.
Master Node for Authentication: Analysts can securely log in to different client environments without managing multiple credentials.
Granular Access Control: MSSPs can define specific analyst roles per client.
Connectivity Monitoring: Track the status of each tenant’s SIRP appliance from a central dashboard.
Regulatory Compliance: Ideal for organizations requiring GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2 compliance.

Real-World Use Case

A financial services provider partnered with an MSSP utilizing SIRP’s Distributed Architecture due to strict regulatory compliance demands. By keeping security data on-premises, they ensured compliance with GDPR and PCI DSS while maintaining 99.99% uptime.

Their SOC team used SIRP’s Master Node Authentication to access multiple security instances with ease, streamlining their workflow. Previously, onboarding a new client took weeks due to manual access control setup—after implementing SIRP’s distributed model, the MSSP cut onboarding time to 3 days, allowing them to scale rapidly.

Best for MSSPs That:

✔️ Work with clients in highly regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare, government).
✔️ Serve organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements.
✔️ Need a customizable and secure deployment per client.

Consolidated vs. Distributed: Which One Should You Choose?

Feature	Consolidated Architecture	Distributed Architecture
Multi-Tenancy	Yes  (Single MSSP Instance)	Yes  (Per-Client Instance)
Data Sovereignty	No ❌ (Data resides on MSSP appliance)	Yes  (Data remains within client’s infrastructure)
Scalability	High	Medium (More resources required per client)
Authentication	Standard	Master Node + SSO
Operational Efficiency	High	Medium (More overhead per client)
Cost Savings	40% reduction in infrastructure costs	Higher per-client infrastructure cost
Regulatory Compliance	Moderate	High
