What is SOC as a Service and how is it different from building an internal SOC?

SOC as a Service provides the monitoring, detection, and response capabilities of a Security Operations Center without the cost of building one internally. A dedicated internal SOC requires a minimum of four to six analysts to maintain 24/7 coverage, plus tooling, management, and infrastructure — typically $1.5M or more annually. SOC as a Service delivers the same capability through a managed provider at a fraction of the cost, with no staffing risk when analysts leave.

What does Triton's SOC as a Service include?

Triton's SOC service includes 24/7 security event monitoring across endpoints, network, email, and cloud environments; SIEM log correlation and analysis; behavioral threat detection using XDR telemetry; human-led threat investigation and triage; automated and manual containment of confirmed threats; incident documentation and root cause analysis; and monthly reporting on threat activity, response metrics, and security posture. Clients receive a dedicated escalation contact for confirmed incidents.

What is a SIEM and do I need one for my business?

A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system aggregates log data from across your environment — endpoints, firewalls, servers, cloud applications — correlates events in real time, and surfaces patterns that indicate a threat. Most small and medium businesses cannot afford to run a SIEM internally, nor do they have staff to analyze the alert volume it generates. Triton operates the SIEM as part of SOC as a Service, with analysts handling correlation and triage so you only receive actionable notifications.

Does SOC as a Service satisfy HIPAA, CMMC, or PCI DSS logging requirements?

Yes. HIPAA requires audit controls that record activity on systems handling ePHI — Triton's SOC produces and retains these logs with access controls. CMMC Level 2 requires a SOC capability, event logging, and documented incident response — all included. PCI DSS requires centralized log management and real-time intrusion detection. Massachusetts 201 CMR 17 requires monitoring as part of a written information security program. Triton structures SOC documentation to serve as compliance evidence for each framework simultaneously.

How long does it take to onboard to Triton's SOC as a Service?

Most environments reach full monitoring coverage within two to four weeks. Onboarding includes agent deployment across all endpoints, log source integration (firewalls, servers, cloud platforms), baseline environment profiling to reduce false positives, documentation of escalation contacts and response procedures, and a kickoff review with your team. Triton handles all technical configuration — your team's involvement is limited to approving access and attending the kickoff.

SOC as a Service

Managed SOC as a Service

Triton Technologies provides a fully managed Security Operations Center as a Service — giving your business 24/7 security monitoring, threat hunting, and compliance reporting without the cost of building an in-house SOC.

Enterprise SOC Capabilities Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Building an in-house Security Operations Center requires six to eight full-time security analysts, enterprise SIEM licensing, threat intelligence subscriptions, and a dedicated management layer — typically costing over $1 million per year. Most businesses cannot justify that investment.

Triton’s SOC as a Service gives you all of those capabilities under a single managed service agreement. Our analysts monitor your environment around the clock, investigate every alert, hunt for threats that automated tools miss, and produce the compliance documentation your regulators require.

Triton delivers SOC as a Service to businesses across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts — giving regional organizations enterprise-grade security operations at a predictable managed cost.

To Full Remediation

Property Management Company — Greater Boston

A Boston-area property management company with dozens of locations was under constant ransomware attack. Their existing provider — a major national brand — was repeatedly patching rather than permanently resolving. When Triton assessed the environment, the finding was stark: absolutely no firewall, workstations running admin-level permissions by default, no file structure, no access authority hierarchy.

Within two months, Triton took over the full account. We implemented enterprise firewall and client-side filtering from zero, locked down the network and workstations, removed default admin permissions, imposed security policy, file structure, and access authorities, and deployed backup and monitoring. For nearly a decade since 2016, this client of 70+ employees has recorded zero ransomware attacks and zero email compromises. They remain a Triton client today, running cloud services that are secure, cost-effective, and support work from anywhere.

Nearly a decade. Zero ransomware attacks. Zero email compromises.

24/7 Security Operations Center

Triton’s SOC operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our analysts monitor your environment across every attack surface — endpoints, network, cloud services, email, and identity systems — correlating events to detect threats at every stage of the attack chain.

Your SOC coverage never takes a day off, never calls in sick, and never misses an alert because the analyst was distracted. Threats that arrive at 3am on a Saturday get the same response as those that arrive at 9am on a Monday.

Every client gets a named primary SOC analyst who understands your environment and business — not a generic ticket queue. We know what normal looks like in your environment, which means we detect abnormal faster.

SIEM & Log Management

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) collects, normalizes, and correlates log data from every system in your environment — creating the visibility needed to detect sophisticated attacks that span multiple systems and timeframes.

Triton manages your SIEM end-to-end: log collection configuration, normalization rules, correlation rules tuned to reduce false positives, alert triage, and long-term log retention in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Our SIEM platform ingests logs from endpoints, firewalls, servers, cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS), identity providers, and applications — giving our analysts complete visibility across your entire environment.

Proactive Threat Hunting

Automated detection tools catch known attack patterns. Threat hunting goes further — our analysts proactively search your environment for indicators of compromise, attacker TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and anomalous behavior that automated tools have not yet flagged.

Triton conducts weekly threat hunting exercises across all client environments, applying the latest MITRE ATT&CK framework intelligence to identify advanced persistent threats, insider threats, and stealthy attackers who are actively trying to avoid detection.

When threat hunting uncovers a hidden threat, we initiate full incident response procedures — preserving evidence, eradicating the threat, and hardening your environment against similar techniques.

Compliance Reporting & Audit Support

Many security and privacy regulations require documented evidence of continuous monitoring — not just security tools deployed and forgotten. Triton’s SOC produces the reports and audit evidence your compliance team needs.

We generate automated compliance reports mapped to HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, NIST CSF, SOC 2, and state privacy requirements — giving your auditors the evidence they need without requiring your team to manually compile log data.

Triton supports your audit process directly — answering auditor questions, producing evidence packages, and documenting your security monitoring program in the format your specific frameworks require.

Your Business Deserves 24/7 Security Coverage

Attackers work around the clock. Triton’s SOC as a Service ensures your business has eyes on every security event, every hour of every day — without the cost of building your own security operations center.

Managed SOC as a Service — FAQ

What is SOC as a Service?

SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) is a managed service that provides the capabilities of a Security Operations Center — continuous monitoring, SIEM management, threat detection, and incident response — without requiring you to build and staff an in-house SOC.

What does a SOC monitor?

Triton’s SOC monitors endpoints (laptops, desktops, servers), network devices (firewalls, switches, routers), cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS), identity systems (Active Directory, Azure AD), email, and any application that generates security-relevant logs.

How is SOC as a Service different from MDR?

MDR focuses primarily on endpoint detection and response. SOC as a Service is broader — encompassing SIEM management, network monitoring, cloud security monitoring, identity threat detection, and compliance reporting in addition to endpoint coverage.

Do I need my own SIEM for SOC as a Service?

No. Triton provides the SIEM platform as part of the managed service. You do not need to purchase, license, or manage your own SIEM — we handle all of that as part of the SOC engagement.

How does Triton handle false positives?

Our analysts review every alert before escalating to your team, filtering out false positives and only contacting you for confirmed or high-confidence threats. This dramatically reduces alert fatigue and ensures that when we contact you, it matters.

What compliance frameworks does SOC as a Service support?

Triton’s SOC supports compliance with HIPAA (continuous monitoring requirement), PCI DSS (Requirement 10 log monitoring), CMMC (AU — Audit and Accountability), NIST CSF (Detect and Respond), SOC 2 (availability monitoring), and NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500 (annual penetration testing and monitoring).

How long does onboarding take?

Typical onboarding for SOC as a Service takes two to four weeks — including log source configuration, baseline behavioral profiling, alert tuning, and initial threat hunting. We work with your IT team to minimize disruption during the onboarding process.
