Case Study: Affirm achieves fast security operations scaling and measurable ROI with Expel MDR

Why Affirm chose Expel MDR fast time to value, proven ROI, and more

Affirm partnered with Expel when it was just starting to build out its security operations program. With a small team and the choice between building an internal SOC or going with an MDR provider, Affirm needed a low-effort, turnkey solution that could integrate across its stack and provide broad security coverage.

Expel MDR was implemented to ingest Affirm’s data, surface alerts in Workbench, and expand visibility across endpoints, cloud, GitHub, and other tools. The result was fast time to value, reduced alert fatigue, and clear ROI—within a week alerts were flowing, and by the first quarter Affirm had processed millions of events with minimal manual effort. As Affirm added integrations, Expel scaled with them and became a force multiplier for the security program.
