04 Managed Security Service Provider
Managed SOC monitoring and detection with CSIRT incident coordination under agreed SLAs — without building a full in-house operations stack first.
On-premises SOC deployment
Electronic communications
Context
A regulated electronic communications operator required an owned on-premises security operations capability — a condition of continued operation under essential-entity and licence supervisory requirements. The organisation had no production platform, no detection and response operating model and no analyst or on-call readiness for live operations — leaving the business unable to detect or respond to security events in real time.
Outcome
End-to-end SOC capability delivered — from greenfield platform deployment to live 24/7 operations. Production-ready SIEM, SOAR and vulnerability-management engine deployed and hardened to CIS benchmarks; security estate fully integrated.
Detection and response use cases operationalised, with compliance rule packages aligned to regulatory reporting obligations. Threat intelligence and CVE enrichment embedded into alerting pipelines.
Analyst team trained and validated through purple-team exercises. Service formally accepted into daily security operations, with on-call rotation established and operational within 16 weeks.
Regulatory compliance achieved for security monitoring obligations; real-time threat detection and response capability established; organisational resilience embedded through documented playbooks and trained analysts.
