Government and agency IT teams carry a heavier compliance load, and a detection gap doesn't just mean downtime — it means an audit finding. Sophos Central MDR Essentials, Gov tier, gives a 50-to-99-user government organisation a managed detection and response service through the Sophos Central platform on a 36-month term. You get the monitoring, the flagging, the response handled by the service, not by your under-staffed IT desk at 6am on a Tuesday. This is the new-purchase Gov SKU. If you're already on it, look at the renewal line instead
