SOC Assessment

Comprehensive assessment of captive or outsourced SOC, covering Framework, People, Processes and Technology by benchmarking against global standards such as NIST and SANS to identify deficiencies and provide an actionable roadmap to address gaps.

The Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a critical monitoring function that provides organizations with visibility into suspected cyber-attacks & potential gaps in information security compliance.

Given the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks & mandated compliance requirements such as ISO 27001:2022, a robust SOC framework is essential in today’s digital ecosystem. 

This framework must include 24/7 Security Incident Monitoring & Management, Incident Response & Threat Hunting, supported by a dedicated team of skilled professionals & state-of-the-art technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, Threat Intelligence & analytics capabilities. Organizations may choose a captive, outsourced, or hybrid SOC deployment based on their specific needs.

Once deployed, organizations must periodically assess the effectiveness of their SOC & its readiness to detect & respond to actual cyber-attacks. This assessment aims to evaluate the overall functioning of the SOC & identify areas for improvement to ensure comprehensive incident detection. 

The SOC framework and processes are evaluated against global standards to ensure coverage and comprehensiveness for smooth operations. The skills, expertise & training plans of SOC personnel are reviewed to ensure their capabilities are up-to-date and meet incident response requirements. 

Additionally, the technology & tools deployed in the SOC are assessed to verify that appropriate log sources are integrated & parsed correctly, and that relevant use case content is created to detect threats. 

This assessment helps organizations understand the current maturity of their SOC & develop a roadmap for further improvement.
