6 signs that you need a SOC for your company.

Relevant fact: A cyber attack occurs every 39 seconds worldwide.

Companies of all sizes face increasingly sophisticated threats, and the question is not if you will be attacked, but when.

If you identify any of these signs in your organisation, it's time to consider hiring the services of a SOC (SOCaaS) to protect your critical business processes and data.

1️⃣ You are frequently notified of security incidents.

‘Every alert is a warning. Ignoring them can be costly"

If you're detecting more and more intrusion attempts, malware or suspicious access, it's no coincidence. A SOCaaS monitors and responds in real time, preventing these threats from becoming a bigger problem.

FACT: Companies with 24/7 monitoring reduce the impact of cyber-attacks by 80%.

2️⃣ You need 24/7 monitoring of your systems

‘Cybercriminals don't have a schedule, your security shouldn't either.’

Without constant monitoring, an attack can go unnoticed for hours or days, causing irreversible damage. A SOCaaS guarantees 24/7 surveillance, enabling an immediate response to any incident.

Key benefit: Detection in seconds and automated response, reducing downtime.

3️⃣ You care about complying with rules and regulations

‘Not complying with regulations is not only risky, it's also costly.’

Regulations such as GDPR, ENS, ISO 27001 and NIS2 require stringent cybersecurity measures. If your business struggles to demonstrate compliance, a SOCaaS automates audits, generates reports and reduces the risk of penalties.

FACT: 70% of companies sanctioned for non-compliance could have avoided it with SOC monitoring.

4️⃣ Your internal team is overloaded

‘Even if you think so, your in-house IT can't do it all on its own.’

If your IT team is already stretched and can't respond to security incidents in real time, you need reinforcements. A SOCaaS provides cybersecurity experts without the need to hire more staff, freeing up internal resources.

Key benefit: Reduced training and recruitment costs, without losing response capacity.

5️⃣ No tools to detect advanced threats

‘Malware is no longer just a virus, it is now a well-orchestrated plan.’

Today's attacks go beyond traditional viruses. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) require deep analysis and artificial intelligence tools to detect.

✅ With SOCaaS: Suspicious patterns are identified before the threat materialises.
❌ Without SOCaaS: The attack goes undetected until it is too late.

6️⃣ You can't measure the state of your cybersecurity.

‘If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.’

Without digital health metrics, it's impossible to know if your security strategy is really working. A SOCaaS provides detailed reports with key indicators, such as:

🔹 Threat detection rate
🔹 Incident response time
🔹 Frequency of false alerts
🔹 Risk level evolution

Key benefit: Accurate data for informed decision making and justification of cyber security investments.

Is it time to adopt a SOCaaS?

If you identified with any of these signs, it's time to act. A SOC as a service not only protects, but also optimises costs, automates processes and strengthens operational continuity.
