CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
SMBs and mid-market firms needing MDR with built-in CMMC compliance will find StreamScan's value in its authorized RPO status and end-to-end certification support, which eliminates the friction of hiring external assessors. The vendor's 24/7 incident response and ransomware negotiation capability covers the full incident lifecycle from detection through eradication, though StreamScan prioritizes the Detect and Respond functions over the longer-tail Recovery and Governance work. Skip this if you need a vendor that also handles asset discovery, identity risk, or third-party risk assessment; StreamScan is narrow by design.
Mid-market and smaller enterprise teams without dedicated SOC staff should pick 5ironCyber for its US-based 24/7 operations center that actually investigates and contains threats rather than just alerting on them. The vendor covers four of five NIST Detect and Respond functions, with particular strength in continuous monitoring and incident mitigation through active containment. Skip this if you need a platform that also handles recovery and forensics at the depth required for heavily regulated industries; 5ironCyber prioritizes stopping the attack over post-incident investigation.
