7 Questions to Ask When Evaluating a 24/7 SOC-as-a-Service Provider

One core critical component of an effective cyber risk management strategy is to have a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).

This is primarily because a well-staffed SOC can provide around-the-clock threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities for rapid threat containment. As a result, you benefit from minimizing operational downtime and revenue disruption in the event of a cyberattack.

Unfortunately, building a SOC in-house can cost upwards of $2.2M USD in the first year for organizations with 1,000+ employees. Therefore, outsourcing security operations to a 24/7 SOC-as-a-Service provider can be a significantly more cost-effective solution.

In this guide, we share the 7 critical questions you should ask every SOC-as-a-Service provider so you can select the right partner that aligns with your organization’s needs and appetite for risk tolerance.
