24/7 Cyber Security Monitoring | SOC as a Service for UK Businesses
With our 24/7 cyber security monitoring service, you can focus on growing your business while we take care of your security. Our SOC team continuously monitors your environment, detects threats early, and responds quickly to keep your organisation protected.
What is SOC as a Service?
SOC as a service — also known as an outsourced SOC — is a fully managed security operations centre that delivers continuous cyber security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response without the need to build and operate an in-house SOC.
How it works
Building an internal SOC requires significant investment in specialist staff, technology, and maintaining true 24/7 coverage. With our SOC as a service, we provide immediate access to experienced security professionals and proven processes, without the cost and complexity of running your own SOC.
What’s included
Our SOC as a service covers the core elements of effective security operations, including round-the-clock monitoring, identifying potential threats and delivering expert incident response.
Who’s it for
This service is designed for organisations that need reliable, always-on security oversight but lack the resources or expertise to manage a full SOC internally.
What's Included in Managed SOC Services?
Cyber Threat Detection
We continuously monitor your systems for signs of malicious activity, using advanced analytics to spot anomalies quickly.
24/7 Security Monitoring
Our UK-based Security Operations Centre (SOC) is on duty 24/7, giving you the assurance that any issues are detected and investigated immediately.
Automated Alerting
We deploy automated and intelligent alerting mechanisms, ensuring critical incidents are quickly escalated to our SOC analysts for review.
Expert Incident Response
Should an incident occur, our security experts coordinate a rapid response, isolating threats and minimising business disruption.
Intelligence Integration
We utilise up-to-date threat intelligence feeds, keeping pace with the latest adversary tactics and vulnerabilities.
Ongoing Optimisation
As threats evolve, we adapt our strategies, ensuring your monitoring capabilities remain effective in a changing landscape.
Why Businesses Choose Managed SOC
Time to Respond
Every second counts when responding to a cyber incident. A delayed response in 24/7 cyber security monitoring can lead to significant business interruption, such as data loss or the spreading of ransomware.
Lack of Expertise
Most SMB businesses lack the in-house technical expertise to run 24/7 cyber security monitoring around the clock – specialised knowledge from qualified experts is required.
Changing Cyber Threats
The cyber threat landscape is changing. Cyber security incidents originating from insiders have risen 44%. Independent 24/7 cyber security monitoring significantly reduces the risk of threats going unnoticed.
Compliance Pressure
Industry regulators, insurers and potential clients are requiring 24/7 Cyber Security Monitoring and incident response capabilities more than ever before.
