What we deliver

A SOC is only as good as what it can see and how fast it can act. Ours is built on Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR and a maintained use case library, operated by Australian analysts who work your environment rather than a generic ruleset.

Twenty four seven monitoring and response Continuous monitoring with defined response actions, so a detection at two in the morning gets handled rather than queued until business hours.
SIEM, SOAR and XDR integration Microsoft Sentinel, Defender and Cydarm working together, with log ingestion, correlation and orchestrated response across the estate.
Threat detection and hunting Proactive hunting and investigation against current threat intelligence, not just alerting on what a signature already recognises.
Incident response support An Australian based response team with case management, containment actions and a clear escalation path into your organisation.
Vulnerability integration Vulnerability assessment findings correlated with detection data, so remediation is prioritised by real exposure rather than by score alone.
Compliance and executive reporting Dashboards and reporting mapped to the Protective Security Policy Framework, the Information Security Manual and the Essential Eight.

Clients

Who we work with

Both sectors need the same detection capability. What differs is who the reporting is written for and how much of the response you want to keep in house.

Public sector
  • Who. Agencies, councils, government owned corporations and critical infrastructure operators with obligations they must evidence.
  • People. Australia based SOC analysts, engineers and incident responders, with NV1 and NV2 clearance where required.
  • Assurance. Detection coverage and reporting aligned to the Protective Security Policy Framework, the Information Security Manual and the Essential Eight.
  • Sovereignty. Sovereign operations with data held and analysed in Australia, and no offshore follow the sun handover.
  • Reporting. Executive level risk reporting suitable for accountable authorities, audit committees and regulator correspondence.
Private sector
  • Who. Australian mid market and enterprise organisations without the scale to staff a SOC internally.
  • Drivers. Cyber insurance conditions, customer security questionnaires, board risk appetite and, often, a recent incident or near miss.
  • Cost. Built on the Microsoft licensing you already hold wherever possible, so you are buying analysts and use cases rather than another platform.
  • Risk. Mean time to detect and respond, measured and reported, which is the metric an insurer or an enterprise customer actually asks for.
  • Continuity. Co-managed response. You decide which actions we take autonomously and which come to your team first.

Cyber61 is our dedicated cyber security business unit, bringing together SOC analysts and engineers, security advisors from the GRC practice, and incident responders under one Australian based team.

Method

How we engage

Onboarding is deliberately staged so that detection coverage is proven before anyone relies on it.

  1. AssessA short paid review of current telemetry, licensing, log sources and the detection coverage you actually have today.
  2. OnboardLog source integration, tenant connection and use case deployment, with the coverage gaps documented rather than glossed over.
  3. TuneDetection tuning against your environment to remove noise, because an alert nobody trusts is worse than no alert at all.
  4. OperateTwenty four seven monitoring, triage, investigation and response against agreed action authorities and escalation paths.
  5. ReportRegular reporting on incidents, trends, coverage and risk movement, plus periodic purple team style validation of detections.

Assurance

Standards and assurance

The SOC is built to government standards and operated to them for every client, which means a commercial organisation gets the same rigour without having to specify it.

The Managed SOC integrates with our Secure Cloud Gateway, governance and vulnerability management services, so detection, remediation and evidence sit with one accountable team rather than three vendors pointing at each other.
