Security Operations Centre (SOC) Services

Security Operations Centre

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) serves as the frontline defense against cyber threats, providing a centralized hub for managing, monitoring, detecting and responding to security incidents within an organization’s network and IT infrastructure. Given the rise in cyberattacks and increasingly sophisticated threats, SOCs have become essential for any organization looking to protect its critical assets, safeguard sensitive information and ensure business continuity.

The main objective of a SOC is to ensure the ongoing security and integrity of systems by actively monitoring for potential threats, analysing data for anomalies and mitigating risks before they escalate into significant issues. A well-established SOC not only helps prevent and detect attacks but also coordinates incident response, ensures compliance, and implements proactive security measures that enhance an organization’s overall security posture.

Our SOC Engagement Models

We understand that every organization has unique needs, which is why we offer flexible SOC services to suit different operational requirements and budget considerations. At ASB Innovations, we provide two primary engagement models for SOC management:

Managed SOC (Fully Outsourced SOC)

This model offers a complete, end-to-end SOC service, providing 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and compliance management, all managed by our dedicated security professionals. You can rely on us to handle every aspect of your cybersecurity operations—from threat detection and incident response to compliance reporting and vulnerability management—allowing your internal teams to focus on core business activities. The Managed SOC model provides the highest level of control, expertise, and customization, ensuring your organization’s security needs are fully addressed.

SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)

The SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) model is a cloud-based, subscription-based service designed to provide flexible, scalable security monitoring and incident response capabilities. With SOCaaS, you gain access to all the benefits of a traditional SOC, but with the added flexibility of cloud infrastructure and a pay-per-use pricing model. This solution is ideal for businesses looking for an affordable and scalable way to enhance their security posture without having to build and maintain an in-house security operations team. SOCaaS allows you to scale your security operations as your organization grows, offering the perfect solution for businesses with fluctuating security needs.

Key Functions of a SOC

Continuous, real-time surveillance of your network infrastructure is the foundation of a robust SOC. Our team monitors a wide range of critical components, such as networks, systems, applications, servers, and endpoints for any signs of suspicious or malicious activity. The 24/7 nature of SOC monitoring ensures that no matter when a potential threat arises, it is promptly detected and dealt with. The SOC also uses advanced tools and threat intelligence to proactively identify vulnerabilities, providing peace of mind knowing your infrastructure is always under expert supervision

The primary responsibility of the SOC is to identify and respond to cyber threats in real time. Using a combination of machine learning, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence, we quickly detect anomalies, unusual patterns, and potential vulnerabilities within your network. When a threat is detected—whether it's a malware infection, a DDoS attack, a data breach, or insider threat—the SOC initiates a rapid, coordinated response to mitigate the impact and prevent further compromise. The goal is to contain the threat as quickly as possible, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.

A security incident requires a well-defined and systematic response. The SOC's role is not only to detect and mitigate threats but also to manage the entire lifecycle of an incident. This includes identifying the cause, containing the damage, eradicating the threat, and implementing measures to prevent future incidents. After an incident is resolved, a post-mortem analysis is conducted to understand the root cause and refine defence mechanisms. Our incident management process ensures that your organization is equipped to handle any cyberattack or breach effectively.

Compliance with industry-specific security standards and regulations is critical to avoid fines and protect sensitive data. The SOC helps ensure your organization adheres to global regulatory requirements. We continuously monitor your network for compliance, conduct regular audits, and generate detailed compliance reports that help demonstrate your commitment to security standards. These reports also provide transparency and help streamline internal and external audits

Prevention is always better than cure, which is why the SOC also focuses on proactive security measures. We implement and maintain robust security protocols such as patch management, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and security awareness training for your staff. These measures help identify potential weaknesses in your security posture before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. Our proactive approach includes regular system updates, security patches, and continuous monitoring for zero-day vulnerabilities to stay ahead of emerging threats.

The SOC leverages cutting-edge threat intelligence feeds from global sources to enhance its monitoring and detection capabilities. By integrating threat intelligence, the SOC gains access to the latest information about cyber threats, attack techniques, and trends, which allows us to respond to new threats more quickly and effectively. Our team constantly evaluates and incorporates threat intelligence to refine your organization’s defences, keeping you ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving threat landscape

The SOC doesn't just react to incidents; it analyses trends over time to identify areas of improvement. By analysing security logs, historical data, and incident reports, we gain insights into the effectiveness of your existing security measures and uncover patterns that might indicate systemic weaknesses. We use this information to refine and optimize your security operations continuously. This ongoing improvement helps ensure your security infrastructure evolves to meet new challenges, with constant fine-tuning to address the latest threats.
