24/7 detection and response — piloted before you commit

Attackers don't work your business hours, and hiring a round-the-clock SOC team is out of reach for most mid-size firms. Our Managed SOC runs on VirtueShieldX — the security-operations platform we built — and starts with a 30-day pilot on your own telemetry, so you evaluate results, not promises.

Independent quality engineering & cybersecurity since 2020 — 100+ security & quality engineers, delivering on platforms we build and run ourselves.

ISC2 estimates the global security workforce gap at 4.8 million people (2024) — the analysts you'd need to hire are the same ones everyone else can't find. Meanwhile, intrusions that dwell undetected for weeks do their real damage after day one.

Anatomy of an incident

One alert, traced through the loop

Detection is the easy part. What separates a SOC is what happens in the minutes after — here is how a real signal moves from telemetry to a contained, closed incident on VirtueShieldX.

1

Telemetry

Wazuh · feeds · Trivy

Endpoint, network, cloud, and vulnerability signals stream in from your estate into the platform's single data model.

2

Detection

2,250+ ATT&CK-mapped rules · UEBA

Rules and behavioral analytics fire on the signal — e.g. an anomalous auth-failure volume mapped to a MITRE technique.

3

Investigation

AI triage

Related alerts are fused into one cross-domain incident and enriched with context automatically, so an analyst opens a case, not a pile of alerts.

4

Prioritization

Risk scoring

The incident is ranked by real risk and exploitability — what to work now versus what can wait — compressing alert volume into a decision.

5

Approval gate

Human analyst

A containment playbook is proposed. Nothing runs on your systems until a named analyst approves — and it can run in dry-run mode first.

6

Response & validate

SOAR playbook

On approval, the playbook contains the threat; the outcome is verified, the incident closed, and the result feeds detection tuning for next time.

The 30-day pilot

What you actually get before you commit

  • Your telemetry, not a demo dataset. Agents go on a representative slice of your estate. Every detection, triage decision, and report you evaluate is generated from your own environment.
  • The same screens our analysts use. Risk posture, fused incidents, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, and remediation playbooks — you work in the platform, not a slide deck about it.
  • Response playbooks in dry-run first. Containment playbooks run in simulated mode under the human approval gate, so you see exactly what automated response would do before anything touches your systems.
  • Reporting you can hand upward. Evidence aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 expectations — the reporting your leadership and auditors will actually see in service.

What the SOC covers, around the clock

24/7/365 monitoring & triage

Continuous detection on 2,250+ MITRE ATT&CK-mapped rules with behavioral analytics (UEBA). AI triage compresses noise; analysts supervise every consequential decision.

Incident response

Containment playbooks executed under human approval gates — isolation, credential response, escalation — with your team in the loop from the first page.

Vulnerability management

Continuous scanning and prioritization integrated with the same platform, so exposures and detections inform each other.

Compliance-aligned reporting

Reporting aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 expectations — evidence your auditor can consume directly.

How it’s delivered

  1. 01

    Pilot (30 days)

    Agents deployed on a representative slice; you see real detections, triage quality, and reporting before any commitment.

  2. 02

    Onboard

    Structured rollout across your estate: log sources, playbooks, and escalation paths agreed and tested.

  3. 03

    Operate

    Round-the-clock monitoring with defined response targets — standard targets; final SLAs are committed in your service agreement.

  4. 04

    Review

    Monthly service reviews: incidents, detection tuning, and coverage gaps — in plain language.

Tools & standards

Platform
VirtueShieldX — in-house SIEM, detection engine, and SOAR
Telemetry & enrichment
Wazuh agents, ThreatFox and curated threat-intel feeds, Trivy

What you receive

  • 24/7 monitoring with analyst-verified alerting — signal, not noise
  • Incident response under agreed approval gates and escalation paths
  • Monthly service review with detection-coverage reporting
  • Audit-aligned evidence packs (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2 expectations)

Evidence

Standard response targets

P1 incidents are acknowledged within 15 minutes; lower severities follow defined tiers up to 4 hours (P4). Structured onboarding completes within 90 days of pilot conversion. These are our standard targets — final SLAs are committed in your service agreement, not a web page.

The platform is the proof

VirtueShieldX is built and operated by our own SOC engineers and runs in production on live telemetry today. Its newest capability — the fully autonomous investigate-prioritize-respond loop — completed its first end-to-end production runs in June 2026, with analysts supervising every consequential action. Your 30-day pilot runs on this exact system.

“They are a core part of our network administration foundation and security testing, and we are grateful to have them.” — Damon DeCrescenzo, CEO, The Credit Pros

Engagement

Ways to engage the same senior bench

Buy it as a scoped project, embed it in your team, or run it as a managed service — same engineers, same governance, whichever shape fits.

30-day pilot

Agents on a representative slice of your estate. You evaluate real detections, triage quality, and reporting before any long-term commitment.

Managed SOC service

24/7/365 monitoring, triage, and response on VirtueShieldX after a structured onboarding — standard response targets apply, with final SLAs in your agreement.

Co-managed

We run detection, triage, and out-of-hours cover; your team keeps ownership of response decisions and approval gates. Common where an internal SOC needs depth and coverage, not replacement.

Who this is for

  • Mid-size firms with no overnight security coverage and no path to hiring it
  • CISOs consolidating point tools into a monitored, managed capability
  • Companies whose cyber-insurance or enterprise customers now require 24/7 monitoring

Proven here

Teams we've delivered this for

  • A managed-security provider

Common questions

How is our telemetry and log data handled?

VirtueShieldX is multi-tenant with strict per-tenant data isolation, built and operated by our own SOC team. Deployment and data-handling terms are agreed during the pilot and fixed in your service agreement.

What are the response targets?

Standard targets acknowledge P1 incidents within 15 minutes, with defined tiers up to 4 hours for P4, and structured onboarding within 90 days of pilot conversion. These are standard targets; final SLAs are committed in your service agreement.

Do you take automated action on our systems?

Only under a human approval gate. Containment playbooks are proposed and executed with analyst supervision of every consequential action; nothing changes on your systems without an approver. Playbooks can run in dry-run (simulated) mode first.

What does the platform actually show us?

Risk posture, fused cross-domain incidents, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, detection quality, and remediation playbooks — the same screens our analysts use. See the VirtueShieldX platform page for real captures.

Who actually does the work?

Senior engineers from our own bench — 63% hold industry certifications (CISSP, CEH, eCPPT, ISTQB, AWS). The people who scope your engagement are the people who run it; there is no rotating offshore bench behind the proposal.

How are our data and the findings handled?

Engagements run under NDA, and engineers who handle client data undergo background checks. Findings and reports are shared through channels agreed at scoping and are not retained beyond the period needed to deliver and support the engagement. Data-handling specifics — storage, encryption, retention, and destruction — are documented in your service agreement; see the Trust page for our posture.

One practice, not one vendor

This is one stage of a single assurance loop: findings become regression tests, and their indicators become live detections — so a problem, once fixed, can’t quietly come back. That’s what you get from one integrated partner that a stack of separate vendors can’t. See how the loop connects →
