SOC Buildout and Optimization

We design and implement security operations centers from the ground up, or step into existing ones and close the gaps. Modern open-source architecture, deployed and tuned for your environment.

The Service

A SOC that actually finds the threat

Most security operations centers are built around compliance. They generate the reports that satisfy auditors and demonstrate due diligence. They are not built to find a patient, intelligent adversary who has been inside the network for three months. We build SOCs around the second objective, not the first.

Whether you are standing up a new security operations function or auditing and rebuilding an existing one, we deploy, configure, and tune the full open-source defensive stack against your specific threat model. Everything we build is yours. No proprietary dependencies, no license fees, no lock-in.

  • Greenfield SOC design and implementation from collection layer to analyst workstation
  • Existing SOC audit with gap analysis and targeted remediation roadmap
  • Modern open-source defensive architecture, deployed and tuned for your environment with no vendor lock-in
  • Detection rule library development mapped to your industry threat model
  • Analyst workflow design and playbook documentation
The Stack

The architecture we deploy

01

Host Telemetry Layer

Endpoint visibility for process execution, authentication tracking, and host-level activity that network sensors cannot see.

02

Network Visibility Layer

Protocol-level network analysis providing the foundational visibility that all detection capabilities build on.

03

Traffic Reconstruction

Retrospective investigation capability with the depth required to reconstruct exactly what happened across your retention window.

04

Intelligence Operations

Threat intelligence platform for IOC management, actor attribution, and the relationship graph that turns indicators into operational intelligence.

05

Case Management

Investigation workflow infrastructure that ties initial triage through evidence collection, analyst assignment, and closure documentation.

06

AVERY Integration

For clients where AVERY is deployed, the platform sits above the SOC stack and provides the intelligence and triage layer that reduces analyst workload across every component.

Build Process

How we build your SOC

01

Current State Assessment

We audit your existing tooling, logging configuration, network architecture, and team workflows before recommending a single change. The assessment produces a gap analysis that maps your current visibility against the threat exposure relevant to your industry.

02

Architecture Design

We design the collection architecture, tool placement, data flow, and integration topology before any deployment begins. The design document becomes the reference standard every subsequent configuration decision is validated against.

03

Deployment and Integration

Tools are deployed in sequence, integrated and validated at each step. No tool goes live without confirming it is feeding clean, normalized data into the detection pipeline. We do not hand you a stack of installed software. We hand you a working detection capability.

04

Detection Library and Tuning

A detection rule library is developed for your environment and threat model, tested against known-good and known-bad traffic, and tuned until false positive rates are operationally acceptable. Rules are documented with the ATT&CK technique they target and the evidence they require to fire.
