Grant Thornton Advisors standardises managed security on CrowdStrike Falcon

Grant Thornton Advisors is standardising its managed security services on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, anchored by Falcon Complete.

The firm is consolidating its managed security service provider (MSSP) operations through CrowdStrike’s Falcon Complete for Service Providers program and rebuilding its offering around what CrowdStrike calls Agentic MDR, which uses intelligent agents to augment human analysts, automate high-friction workflows and scale managed protection to counter AI-accelerated attackers.

Alongside this, Grant Thornton Advisors is also taking a new portfolio to market, including tiered managed detection and response (MDR) offerings and managed engineering services that layer proactive threat hunting, automated response and platform optimisation on top of Falcon Complete.

“The next generation of MDR is moving from tools to services that actually execute,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike.

"Grant Thornton Advisors’ choice to standardise on Falcon Complete is about bringing a new class of managed security services to market – combining our Agentic MDR with their advisory, engineering, and operational expertise to deliver security outcomes at scale. This is where the market is going.”

“Our clients don’t need more tools — they need security that actually works,” said Tony Buffomante, national managing partner of cyber and risk services at Grant Thornton Advisors.

"With Falcon Complete at the core of our managed security operations, we're pairing CrowdStrike's detection and response capabilities with our advisory, incident response, and managed engineering expertise to help clients move from reactive security postures to proactive, measurable protection wherever our clients are located. That's what outcome-driven security looks like – and it's what our clients are asking for."

Last week, Grant Thornton Australia announced it is set to join the Grant Thornton Advisors multinational platform in a move that will unlock the potential to ramp up M&A activity in the technology space.
