Case Study: QC Holdings achieves risk reduction and stronger security posture with eSentire MDR

Demonstrating the Value of eSentire MDR with Risk Reduction

QC Holdings, a leading alternative financial services organization with more than 30 years of experience and 250 retail locations across the U.S. and Canada, needed to strengthen its security posture with limited internal resources and budget. The company lacked 24/7 SOC coverage, multi-signal monitoring, and proactive threat investigation, and it needed help better using its existing Microsoft investments while aligning with the CIS Framework. eSentire provided MDR for Microsoft to address these gaps.

eSentire implemented MDR with Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, along with Managed Vulnerability Service, to deliver 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, investigation, response, and vulnerability management. As a result, QC Holdings improved threat detection and response, reduced mean time to detect and contain, maximized ROI on Microsoft, and improved its cyber risk profile and CIS Framework alignment. eSentire also enabled faster time-to-value through rapid deployment and strong escalation processes.
