A Security Operations Center that actually operates.

• What is SOC as a Service?

  SOC as a Service outsources your Security Operations Center to a managed provider. You get 24/7 log monitoring, alert triage, threat detection, and incident response without hiring a full security team. We run the SIEM, the EDR, and the analyst rotation. Your team focuses on the business.

• How is your SOC different from "monitoring-only" services?

  A real SOC investigates and contains. A monitoring service sends alerts and walks away. We do active triage on every meaningful alert, take containment actions where authorized (isolating endpoints, disabling compromised accounts), and produce evidence packages your team can use. Ask any vendor: "who performs incident triage and what's the escalation path?" If they hesitate, that's your answer.

• How much does Cyberuptive's SOC cost?

  Typical 2026 mid-market managed SOC pricing runs $50–$200/user/month or $8–$30/endpoint/month, depending on coverage hours, response model, and stack inclusions. For a 50-person company that lands in $4,000–$15,000/month range. Our scopes are sized to environment — we don't publish a one-size-fits-all rate. Read our 2026 buyer's guide for the full breakdown.

• Is this CMMC-ready?

  Yes. We support CMMC 2.0 Level 2 monitoring requirements (NIST 800-171 SI.3.218 continuous monitoring, AU family audit logging, and IR family incident response). All telemetry is handled by US-based analysts. We produce assessment-ready evidence packages on request. See our CMMC service.

• What stack do you operate?

  Our core SOC stack pulls from Trellix (formerly FireEye) endpoint and threat intelligence, CrowdStrike Falcon for EDR depth, and Microsoft Sentinel for SIEM in M365/Azure environments. We size the deployment to the environment — not what produces the highest resale margin.

• Where are your analysts based?

  All Cyberuptive analysts are U.S.-based. We staff staggered shifts so detection and triage are continuous — not a single shift relabeled "24/7," and not offshore tier-1 dressed up to look domestic. For DFARS 252.204-7012 / CMMC engagements we scope dedicated U.S.-citizen analyst pools and document personnel handling in the SSP.

• What does 24/7 coverage actually mean for our team?

  Telemetry is monitored continuously and U.S.-based analysts work staggered shifts so live triage is happening whenever an alert fires. Every customer gets real analyst coverage during their business day, plus continuous monitoring, threat hunting, and active response coordination through the rest of it. Nobody is left with after-hours-only support, and nobody pays for 24/7 only to find a single overnight shift behind the queue.

• Can you co-manage with our existing IT team?

  Yes — that's the default. Most of our customers have a small in-house IT team or a single IT lead. We sit alongside them, take after-hours and weekend coverage, and feed our triage into whatever ticketing system they already use. No rip-and-replace.
