In short: Blackpoint Cyber is a managed detection and response (MDR) provider whose 24/7 security operations centre contains threats on endpoints and cloud identities. Its CompassOne platform comes in Essentials, Core and Standard packages. Forever Systems supplies Blackpoint as a managed service, quoted on your endpoints, identities and package.
What Blackpoint Cyber does
Blackpoint Cyber is a US security company founded in 2014 by former US Department of Defense security and intelligence specialists. Its core business is managed detection and response (MDR): a security operations centre (SOC) that runs around the clock, pairs AI-assisted triage with human analysts, and takes action to stop an attack rather than just raising an alert.
Blackpoint covers the two places most small and mid-sized organisations are attacked:
- Endpoints: Windows and macOS devices, watched through Blackpoint's own patented agent and through its integration with Microsoft Defender and Windows Security
- Identities: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Cisco Duo accounts, where account takeover and business email compromise usually start
Since 2025 those services sit on CompassOne, Blackpoint's platform that adds a security posture rating, asset inventory, vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 configuration management, application control and SIEM logging alongside detection and response. Blackpoint builds its platform for managed service providers and sells through them, so we supply it as part of a service we run for you.
The Blackpoint services we supply
| Page | What it covers | Main thing we count |
|---|---|---|
| Blackpoint CompassOne | The Essentials, Core and Standard packages and what each adds | Package, plus endpoints and identities |
| Blackpoint MDR | 24/7 endpoint detection and active response from the Blackpoint SOC | Endpoints running the agent |
| Blackpoint ITDR | 24/7 identity threat detection and response for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Cisco Duo | Protected user accounts |
Smaller organisations often start with an Essentials package covering either endpoints or identities, then move to Core when they want both together with vulnerability management and application control in the same console.
How Blackpoint Cyber is quoted
Blackpoint does not publish a price list. A quote is built from what you protect and which CompassOne package you choose:
- Endpoints: the laptops, desktops and servers that run the Blackpoint agent for MDR
- Identities: the user accounts protected by ITDR in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Cisco Duo
- Package: Essentials, Core or Standard decides which platform features are included
- Integrations: some third-party integrations carry their own terms and fees
Blackpoint offers monthly or annual pricing, and we confirm the term and any commitment in writing before you sign. Ask us for a quote for your endpoint and user numbers.
Who Blackpoint suits
Blackpoint fits organisations that know they need round-the-clock monitoring but cannot staff a SOC:
- businesses of a few dozen to a few hundred staff on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- organisations that already rely on Microsoft Defender and want its alerts watched and acted on 24/7
- firms whose cyber insurer asks for MDR or 24/7 monitoring
- multi-site organisations, schools and charities with Windows servers as well as laptops to cover
Because Blackpoint focuses on detection and response, it works best on top of good basics: MFA, patching and email filtering. If you are working towards Cyber Essentials, the CompassOne posture rating and vulnerability findings help show progress. Compare other options in EDR, XDR and MDR.

Can I buy Blackpoint Cyber directly?
Blackpoint sells through managed service providers rather than straight to end customers. Forever Systems supplies it as part of a managed service, with the licences, setup and follow-up on one account.
How is Blackpoint Cyber priced?
Blackpoint does not publish prices. Quotes are based on the endpoints covered by MDR, the user accounts covered by ITDR and the CompassOne package you choose. Ask us for a quote and we will set out the options.
Is there a minimum term for Blackpoint?
Blackpoint offers monthly or annual pricing. The term and any commitment depend on the package and quantities, so we confirm them in writing with your quote.
What is Blackpoint CompassOne?
CompassOne is Blackpoint's platform. Depending on the package it combines 24/7 MDR and ITDR with a security posture rating, asset inventory, vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 configuration management, application control and SIEM logging.
Does Blackpoint work with Microsoft Defender?
Yes. Blackpoint integrates with Microsoft Defender and Windows Security. Its SOC watches Defender alerts alongside detections from Blackpoint's own agent and steps in, for example by isolating the device, when a threat is not contained.
