24/7 managed threat detection and response. Human-led. Always on.
Business continuity trusted by organisations large and small.
Security Operations Centre as a Service (SOCaaS)
Every organisation must find a way to defend against cyber threats that grow in frequency and sophistication every year. Our SOCaaS delivers continuous monitoring, active threat hunting and rapid incident response as a fully managed service – adapting to your specific environment and risk profile.
Most SOC providers detect a threat and stop there. We detect it, contain it, and if it gets through – we restore everything. Prevention backed by guaranteed recovery. It is the only proposition of its kind.
Too many organisations are managing cyber risk reactively, without the continuous monitoring needed to detect threats before they escalate. The average organisation fails to detect a breach for 146 days. Imagine what could happen to your data in that time.
Proactive threat detection
We detect suspicious activity, actively hunt threats, monitor your environment 24/7 and eliminate threats before they become incidents. UK Government SC-cleared analysts work around the clock: human expertise, not just automated alerts.
Microsoft Sentinel
Our core capability is built on Microsoft Sentinel. A scalable, cloud-native solution providing both security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR). Deployed within your own Microsoft tenant, your data never leaves your environment, and no agents are required across your devices.
For organisations with more complex or mixed technology estates, we also support SentinelOne Singularity XDR: an agent-based endpoint detection and response platform that provides deep visibility across every device.
Speak to our team about which approach is right for your environment.
In-tenant data model
Unlike many SOC providers, our Sentinel offering operates entirely within your Microsoft tenancy. Sensitive data, compliance records and business-critical information stay within your controlled environment at all times, no third-party data transfers, no compliance risk.
When prevention is not enough
No security system is impenetrable. When ransomware gets through, and for 1 in 4 organisations it does, the speed of your recovery determines the scale of the damage.
CiContinuity combines active 24/7 threat monitoring with 40 years of disaster recovery heritage. Immutable, air-gapped backups. Isolated recovery zones. Ship-to-site hardware. UK recovery engineers on standby around the clock. Where other SOC providers hand you a containment report, we hand you back your systems.
Continuous monitoring
Our SC-cleared analysts monitor your digital landscape 24/7, ensuring complete insight into your threat landscape at all times.
24/7 expert support
Immediate access to our expert team for any threat detection and response questions or incidents, any time of day or night.
Bespoke remediation
We create remediation plans specific to your environment, factoring in solutions such as disabling user accounts or isolating compromised systems.
Board-ready reports
Clear, comprehensive reports of any incidents that occur, giving you and your board a full view of your organisation’s cyber risk history.
SOCaaS solutions for all your requirements
Without understanding the risks your organisation faces, you can’t protect it. A robust SOCaaS solution gives you the continuous visibility you need to defend against modern cyber threats.
Active threat hunting
We don’t just respond to alerts. We proactively search your environment to ensure no threat slips by undetected.
Alert prioritisation
Not all incidents are equal. We prioritise the most critical threats so your most important systems are always protected first.
Integrated incident response
Containing detected threats, preventing them from spreading, and returning your environment to its pre-attack state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SOCaaS replace my internal IT team?
No. Our SOCaaS works alongside your existing IT team, not instead of them. We handle the continuous security monitoring, threat detection and incident response that most internal IT teams simply do not have the capacity or specialist expertise to deliver around the clock. Your IT team stays focused on day-to-day operations while we focus on keeping your environment secure 24/7.
How quickly can you detect and respond to a threat?
Our SOC analysts monitor your environment continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When a threat is detected, our team begins investigation and containment immediately. For critical and high-severity alerts, our target response time is within 30 minutes of detection.
What happens if ransomware gets through?
This is where CiContinuity’s DR heritage becomes critical. Unlike most SOC providers who stop at containment, we combine active threat response with immutable, air-gapped backups and a full disaster recovery capability. If ransomware encrypts your systems, we can restore your environment rapidly, minimising downtime and getting your operations back to normal as quickly as possible.
How is SOCaaS different from MDR?
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and SOCaaS are closely related, but SOCaaS typically represents a broader, more comprehensive service. Where MDR focuses primarily on endpoint detection and response, our SOCaaS covers your entire environment, including cloud workloads, Microsoft 365, network activity and endpoints.
How is the service priced?
Our SOCaaS is priced on a per-user or per-seat basis and scales with the size of your organisation. Pricing reflects the scope of your environment, the level of monitoring required and any additional services such as disaster recovery or M365 backup.
