What is a managed SOC?

A managed SOC, or SOC as a service, is an outsourced security operations center. We provide the 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and response that a security operations center performs, delivered as a service so you do not have to build or staff one.

What is the difference between a SOC and EDR?

EDR is the tool that detects threats on devices. A SOC is the team and process that watches the alerts 24/7, investigates them, and responds. Managed EDR plus a managed SOC gives you both the detection and the people acting on it.

Do small businesses need a SOC?

Most small businesses cannot justify building one, but they face the same threats. Delivered as a service, a managed SOC gives them around-the-clock detection and response without the cost of an in-house team.

How fast do you respond to a threat?

Monitoring is continuous, and the ThreatLocker Cyber Hero team investigates indicators of compromise as they appear, isolating affected devices quickly to contain an incident regardless of the hour.

Does a managed SOC help with cyber insurance?

Yes. Insurers increasingly expect 24/7 monitored detection and response on every endpoint and server. A managed SOC provides that control and the evidence to support your application.

Is the SOC included in managed IT?

Yes. Security operations are built into our managed IT, so the same accountable team runs your systems and your security monitoring together.

Book your first appointment Take the security assessment

A Security Operations Center is the team and tooling that watches your environment around the clock, spots an attack in progress, and shuts it down. Most small and mid-sized businesses cannot staff one, so we deliver it as a service. We combine continuous monitoring, threat detection, and 24/7/365 response through our ThreatLocker Cyber Hero team and Microsoft Defender, so suspicious activity is investigated and contained at any hour, not discovered the next morning. You get enterprise-grade detection and response, fully managed, built into your IT.

What's included

24/7/365 monitoring and response

Our security team and the ThreatLocker Cyber Hero MDR service watch your endpoints and systems around the clock, investigating alerts and responding the moment a threat appears, including overnight, weekends, and holidays.

Threat detection across your environment

We monitor endpoints, identity, and network signals for the behavior of an attack, unusual logins, malware, and lateral movement, so threats are caught early instead of after the damage.

Rapid containment

When an incident is confirmed, compromised devices are isolated and the threat is contained before it spreads, then we remediate and document exactly what happened.

No SOC to build or staff

You get the outcome of a security operations center, detection, investigation, and response, without the cost of hiring analysts or running 24/7 shifts.

What you get

Threats caught at any hour

Attackers do not keep business hours. Around-the-clock monitoring means an incident is met in minutes, not discovered the next day.

Enterprise-grade security on an SMB budget

A managed SOC delivers the detection and response of a large security team, scaled and priced for a small or mid-sized business.

Meets cyber insurance requirements

Insurers increasingly require 24/7 monitored detection and response. A managed SOC gives you the control and the documentation to prove it.

One accountable team

The same team that runs your managed IT also runs your security operations, so nothing falls between an IT provider and a separate security vendor.
