A security team
on call, always.
Standing up a 24/7 SOC in house is expensive and slow. We give you enterprise grade detection and response as a service.
24/7 Monitoring
Round the clock eyes on your logs, endpoints, and cloud, so an alert at 3am gets a human, not a voicemail.
SIEM & Detection
Tuned SIEM with correlation rules and threat intelligence that surfaces real attacks and suppresses the noise.
Incident Response
A defined playbook to contain, investigate, and recover from incidents, with clear communication when it counts.
Endpoint Detection
EDR and MDR across your fleet to catch malware, ransomware, and lateral movement before it spreads.
Threat Hunting
Proactive hunts for hidden threats and indicators of compromise, beyond what automated alerting catches.
Reporting & Compliance
Monthly reporting, metrics, and audit ready evidence that keep leadership and auditors informed.
The moments that turn monitoring from optional into urgent.
Very few companies wake up wanting a SOC. Something changes: an incident, an insurance renewal, an auditor, or the realization that nobody is watching the logs at 3am. Here is how we meet each of those moments.
After a Security Incident
The most common first call. Something happened, it got contained, and now leadership wants to know it can never happen quietly again. We onboard fast, establish what normal looks like in your environment, and put trained eyes on the places the last attacker walked through. The second incident is the one that damages trust, and it is the one this service exists to prevent.
Cyber Insurance Requirements
Carriers in 2026 increasingly require 24/7 monitoring, documented detection and response times, and validated MFA enforcement as conditions of coverage, not nice to haves. We provide the monitoring, the metrics, and the attestation evidence underwriters ask for, and organizations with managed coverage typically see meaningful premium reductions. Sometimes this service costs less than the premium increase it prevents.
Ransomware Defense for Mid Market Teams
Ransomware crews do not care that your company is not famous. They care that your backups are reachable and your fleet is unwatched. We combine endpoint detection across your devices with containment authority, so a machine encrypting files at 2am gets isolated at 2:01, not discovered at 9.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud Identity Monitoring
Most real world breaches now start with a stolen login, not malware: business email compromise, MFA fatigue attacks, and OAuth abuse in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. We watch identity signals, impossible travel, mailbox rule tampering, and privilege changes, because catching the attacker at the login is far cheaper than catching them at the data. The durable fix for identity risk is architectural, which is where our zero trust identity practice takes over.
Watching the Platforms You Run
SaaS products, customer portals, and the cloud infrastructure behind them generate security signals someone has to actually read: failed auth spikes, API abuse, and configuration drift. We monitor production platforms as a service, whether we built them or someone else did, so your engineers ship features while we watch the perimeter.
We Attack Our Own Defenses.
A SOC that has never been tested against a real attacker is a theory. Our penetration testing team runs offensive engagements against the same environments our SOC defends, and every finding sharpens the detection rules. Defense informed by offense is the whole point of having both under one roof.
Security Monitoring Is Not the Same as Uptime Monitoring.
Application observability tells you the service is slow. Security monitoring tells you why the database is being exported to an IP in another country. Both matter, and they are different disciplines with different tools. For the performance and reliability side, that is our monitoring and observability practice. This page is about the adversary.
From blind spots to full coverage.
We onboard your environment, tune detection to your reality, and run continuous defense.
Onboard & Baseline
We connect your logs, endpoints, and cloud, and establish a baseline of normal so anomalies stand out.
Tune Detection
We configure SIEM rules and threat intel to your environment, cutting false positives while catching real threats.
Monitor & Respond
Our SOC watches 24/7, triages alerts within SLA, and executes the agreed incident response playbook.
Review & Improve
Regular reviews, threat hunts, and tuning keep coverage sharp as your environment and the threat landscape change.
The SOC math, and the pricing traps to avoid.
This market hides its prices behind contact forms and then pads the quotes with add ons. Here is what managed security actually costs in 2026 and how the build versus buy math really works.
Market rates in 2026 run $15 to $30 per endpoint per month for genuine 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response at mid market scale. In monthly terms, a 100 to 500 endpoint environment typically lands between $6,000 and $18,000 per month, with larger and compliance heavy environments above that. Be suspicious of anything under $3,000 a month claiming 24/7 coverage: at that price it is automated alerting with a slow on call rotation, which you will discover at the worst possible moment.
Run the numbers first. True 24/7 coverage requires a minimum of five analysts for shift rotation, each costing around $180,000 fully loaded, plus a SOC manager and $1 million or more in tooling to stand up. Analyst turnover runs 25 to 40 percent a year, and the build takes 6 to 18 months. A managed SOC delivers the same coverage at roughly a quarter to 40 percent of that cost and onboards in 2 to 6 weeks. In-house starts making sense above roughly 15 security staff and a multi million dollar security budget. Below that line, building one is usually an expensive way to learn this math.
The industry made this confusing, so here it is plainly. An MSSP traditionally monitors logs and forwards alerts. MDR goes further: analysts actively investigate, hunt, and contain threats. SOC as a service is the broadest model, covering monitoring, detection, response, threat hunting, and compliance reporting as one function. What we run is the full SOC model with MDR style active response. When comparing vendors, ignore the acronym on the brochure and ask one question: when something bad is confirmed, does the provider act, or does it email you?
No, and this is the question that separates real providers from expensive email filters. Forwarding an alert at 3am to a team that is asleep is not response, it is liability transfer. We operate with pre agreed containment authority: isolating a compromised endpoint, disabling a hijacked account, or blocking an attacker's infrastructure immediately, within rules of engagement you define during onboarding. You decide in advance what we can do without waking you, and the playbook is written down before it is ever needed.
Often, yes. Carriers now treat 24/7 monitoring, documented detection and response metrics, and tested incident response capability as underwriting factors, and organizations with managed SOC coverage typically see premium reductions in the 15 to 30 percent range. More importantly, a growing number of policies make continuous monitoring a condition of coverage, meaning the absence of a SOC can void a claim. Bring your policy renewal questionnaire to the discovery call and we will map our reporting directly to what your carrier asks for.
Three big ones. Per alert or per incident pricing pays the vendor more when they find more noise, which is exactly the wrong incentive. Log volume pricing looks cheap until a busy month triples your bill, so demand a volume estimate in writing before signing. And the oldest trick: selling you a SIEM license, then charging separately for someone to actually watch it, with 24/7 coverage and faster response gated behind higher tiers. Our pricing is flat, monthly, all inclusive for a defined scope, and the scope is written into the agreement.
Send us your endpoint count and your insurance renewal questionnaire. You will get a flat monthly number and a coverage map, and both are yours to compare against anyone.
Questions about
Managed Security & SOC
Either. We can run security end to end for lean teams, or augment an existing one with 24/7 coverage and specialist response. We fit your model.
We work with leading platforms (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic, and others) and can build on your existing licensing rather than forcing a rip and replace.
We triage alerts within minutes against agreed SLAs and follow a defined containment and escalation playbook. You will know exactly who does what when something happens.
We tune detection to your environment continuously, baselining normal behavior, enriching with threat intel, and refining rules so your team only sees alerts that matter.
Yes. Continuous monitoring, logging, and reporting provide audit ready evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar frameworks, and pairs well with our pen testing.
