The decision

In-house SOC vs SOC-as-a-Service

Building a SOC means hiring analysts around the clock, buying and tuning a SIEM, and retaining people in a fiercely competitive market. SOC-as-a-Service trades that build for a subscription.

A 24/7 Security Operations Center needs skilled analysts, security technology and round-the-clock coverage. Meanwhile, 45% struggle to hire cybersecurity talent, according to ENISA.

The cost adds up too. An in-house SOC can cost up to 71% more than a managed SOC over three years β€” $2.0M–$6.1M vs. $550K–$1.8M.

Onboarding

From signed to live in four weeks

  1. 01

    Week 1 β€” Connect your environment

    We connect your key systems to PassIRP, protect your endpoints with CrowdStrike Falcon and set up secure analyst access. By the end of week one, we have visibility across your environment.

  2. 02

    Week 2 β€” Tune & reduce noise

    We tune your security monitoring to reduce false alarms and focus on real threats. PassAI-Guard begins to assess and prioritise alerts.

  3. 03

    Week 3 β€” Tailor your detection

    We tailor threat detection to your environment and risk profile, deploy Passeca Deception and test the escalation process with your team.

  4. 04

    Week 4 β€” Go live

    The service is fully live 24/7. You receive your first operational report, agree the reporting schedule with your account team, and confirm the SLAs and escalation paths in writing.

Compliance

How does the Passeca SOC support compliance?

A Passeca SOC can support relevant requirements across ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2 and the CRA. Continuous monitoring, detection, incident records and response reports provide evidence that can support your wider compliance programme.

ISO 27001

PassIRP offers logging, monitoring and incident records to support A.8.15, A.8.16 and A.5.24.

SOC 2

Passeca provides 24/7 monitoring, alert handling and incident records to support CC7 requirements for system monitoring and anomaly detection.

DORA

Passeca enables incident detection, classification and records to support Articles 17–23 on ICT-related incident management and reporting.

NIS2

Passeca supports incident handling under Article 21 and provides investigation records, timestamps and response evidence that can support the Article 23 incident-reporting process, including the 24-hour early warning and 72-hour incident notification.

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

For manufacturers in scope, Passeca can help detect and investigate security incidents and preserve evidence that supports CRA reporting. Product-security and vulnerability-handling requirements still require controls beyond the SOC.

FAQ

SOC-as-a-Service, answered

What is the difference between SOC-as-a-Service and an in-house SOC?
An in-house SOC is a team, facility and tool stack you build and fund yourself. SOC-as-a-Service is a subscription in which a provider β€” Passeca β€” supplies the analysts, the SIEM (PassIRP), the AI triage layer (PassAI-Guard), EDR, deception and threat intelligence, and operates them for you 24/7. You get 24/7 detection and response without the cost, hiring challenges and staffing risks of running your own SOC.
What does SOC-as-a-Service cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your environment and the level of coverage you need. We scope the service based on your endpoints, cloud accounts and log sources. For more information, you can book a consultation with our team.

How quickly will you detect and respond to an incident?
Passeca monitors your environment 24/7 and responds to security incidents based on their severity. Our service includes defined targets for detection and response, with the agreed SLAs set out in your service agreement and reviewed as part of ongoing service reporting.
Where is my data stored?
PassIRP offers EU data residency and sovereign hosting options, a genuine advantage for German and EU-regulated buyers over US-headquartered SIEM vendors. We confirm the specific deployment region and data-processing terms with you during onboarding.
Do I still need my own security team?
Most clients have an internal security or IT contact who works with Passeca and approves any changes. Passeca provides the round-the-clock analyst coverage, detection engineering and incident response, so you do not need to recruit and retain a 24/7 shift team yourself.
Which compliance frameworks does SOC-as-a-Service help with?
ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA and NIS2 all require security monitoring and incident management. Passeca helps you meet these requirements with 24/7 monitoring, incident records and reporting. This gives your team documented evidence of security activity that can support compliance checks and audits.
Can you monitor our existing CrowdStrike or EDR deployment?

Yes. CrowdStrike Falcon is part of the standard service, and if you already own EDR or other tools, our MDR service can monitor and respond on top of them. See our MDR page for the technology-agnostic, bring-your-own-tools model.

How long does onboarding take?

A standard onboarding takes around four weeks. We connect your systems, set up monitoring, tune the service to your environment and prepare your security team for 24/7 monitoring and response. Larger or more complex environments may take longer to set up.

How does SOC-as-a-Service improve cybersecurity for small businesses?
SOC-as-a-Service gives small businesses access to 24/7 security monitoring, detection and response without the need to build and staff their own SOC. Passeca monitors your environment, investigates alerts and responds to security incidents on your behalf.
What are the key features of SOC-as-a-Service solutions?
Key features of SOC-as-a-Service solutions include 24/7 security monitoring, threat detection, incident response, threat intelligence and security analytics. With Passeca, the service also includes PassIRP, PassAI-Guard, endpoint protection, deception technology and security analysts.
How does an outsourced SOC protect my company?
An outsourced SOC monitors your systems around the clock for suspicious activity. Passeca detects threats, investigates alerts and responds to incidents, helping your team identify and contain threats before they cause greater impact.
Can SOC-as-a-Service integrate with existing SIEM tools?
Yes. Passeca can work with your existing security tools and data sources. If you already have a SIEM or other security technology, we can connect it to the service and provide monitoring and response around your existing environment.
Can SOC-as-a-Service make us NIS2 or CRA compliant?
SOC-as-a-Service can support key areas of NIS2 and CRA readiness, including monitoring, incident handling, investigation and evidence collection. Wider compliance requirements may also involve governance, risk management, product security, vulnerability management, development processes and documentation.
