Why businesses need SoCs: 5 Reasons to Enable Incident Monitoring

We analyze why an in-house or outsourced SOC becomes a necessity for companies of any scale.

What is SOC and why is it needed?

Security Operations Center (SOC) is a center for monitoring and responding to information security incidents. It is a team of analysts, engineers, and processes that ensure continuous monitoring of an organization’s digital infrastructure.

For organizations in the public and quasi‑public sectors of Kazakhstan, having an SOC is gradually moving from the category of recommendations to mandatory requirements imposed by regulators.

5 key reasons:
1. Early threat detection

SOC allows you to detect attacks at early stages. The average time to detect a threat without a SOC is more than 200 days.

2. Compliance with regulatory requirements

Unified information security requirements and the ISO 27001 standard require the presence of a monitoring and incident response system.

3. Minimizing financial damage

Prompt response reduces the scale of the consequences. Organizations with a SOC spend significantly less on eliminating the consequences of incidents.

4. Staffing issues

SOC-as-a-Service allows you to get qualified analysts without hiring full‑time specialists, who are in short supply in the Kazakhstani market.

5. Transparency for management

Regular SOC reports provide a clear picture of the information security status: the number of incidents, response time, and threat trends.

Our SOC processes more than 25,000 information security events per day. The average response time for a critical incident is less than 15 minutes.

How to get started

The first step is a free rapid assessment of your current monitoring infrastructure. Our engineers will evaluate the maturity of the processes and suggest the optimal connection format.
