SOC design and build
A security operations centre from a blank page: use cases, detection, playbooks, shift model.
Buying a SIEM does not give you a SOC. We design the security operations centre around the detection use cases that matter to your actual risk profile: which log sources feed it, what triggers an alert, how an analyst triages it, and who is on shift when it fires at three in the morning. The result is a capability your team can run, not a dashboard nobody watches.
How it runs
- 1
Start from use cases, not tools
We define what you actually need to detect before choosing what technology detects it, so the SOC is built around your risk, not a vendor demo.
- 2
Map the log sources honestly
Some sources will not be ready on day one; we document the gap rather than pretending coverage that does not exist.
- 3
Build playbooks analysts will follow under pressure
A playbook only works if it is usable at 3am by someone half-awake, so we write for that, not for a slide deck.
- 4
Size the shift model to reality
A 24/7 SOC is not always the right answer; we size the coverage model to your actual risk and budget.
Common questions
Do we need a 24/7 SOC?
Can this run on our existing SIEM?
