ConsultationA SOC must see, prioritize, and respond. Buying SIEM alone does not make a SOC—without use cases, shifts, and process you only own an expensive log warehouse.
An internal SOC means specialists, coverage hours, tooling, playbooks, and continuous drills. For many mid-size orgs, internal 24/7 costs exceed a managed model.
SOC as a Service makes sense when you have important external assets, cannot staff shifts, or want internals focused on detection engineering while initial triage is outsourced.
Minimum inputs: identity, VPN, firewall/edge, EDR, and critical systems. Without them, monitoring and hunting are blind.
Success is not alert volume—it is detection time, triage quality, false-positive rate, and incident closure. Contract for outcomes, not only EPS.
Hybrids are common: Hoxy advances monitoring and use cases while your team owns infrastructure change—avoiding total lock-in.
If torn between SIEM alone and SOC, start with a few critical use cases and a monitoring pilot. The SOC services page and consultation form are the entry points.
