SOC Workshop

A structured basis for decision-making in detection and response



  Analysis of your existing Detection & Response structures


  Vendor-neutral recommendations for technologies, processes, and operating models


  Prioritized roadmap for the cost-effective evolution of your security operations




Would you like to take the first step toward security monitoring, detection, and response?


An effective Security Operations Center (SOC) is a key component of modern cyber resilience. It enables the continuous monitoring, detection, analysis, and response to security incidents.

Which model is best suited to your company's specific situation?


In our SOC workshop, we conduct a structured analysis of your current situation, assess technological, organizational, and regulatory requirements, and develop a robust vision for your SOC.


Our goal: We provide a solid basis for decision-making for management and IT decision-makers. The result is not a theoretical concept, but a prioritized, actionable plan of measures including technology recommendations.​

Develop your security operations strategy



SOC Workshop


The goal of the workshop is to provide clarity on maturity levels, gaps, and specific courses of action in the context of detection and response. We will examine the three core components of a SOC – people, technologies, and processes – in the context of your specific requirements and existing infrastructure.

The path to your SOC strategy

Introduction and mission statement

based on established best practices

|

Custom use cases & threat analysis

Together, we identify your business-critical assets, relevant attack vectors, and threat scenarios. This forms the basis for relevant SOC use cases (e.g., ransomware), the required detection and response capabilities, and the necessary technologies, roles, and processes.


If necessary, we recommend additional measures such as penetration tests or incident simulations to further validate the target scenario.

Focus of the workshop: 
Current status analysis & GAP assessment​


Technologies

We assess your existing security technologies and evaluate their suitability and maturity level in the context of a SOC.​


  ​Asset Inventory / CMDB


  Vulnerability and Patch Management


  Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR/XDR)


  Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)


  Threat Intelligence and Malware-Analysis


The result is a cross-technology blueprint for establishing or further developing your SOC.

People

We analyze existing roles (e.g., SOC analyst, incident responder, threat hunter), skill levels, responsibilities, and escalation and reporting lines (e.g., to the CIO, CISO, COO).


Based on this, we develop recommendations for workforce planning and the targeted integration of external expertise.

Processes

We structure the incident response process, including responsibilities (using RACI matrices), define the required service coverage (e.g., 8x5 or 24x7), and determine the optimal resource and capacity planning.


Based on this, we work together to define the right operating model: in-house operation, a hybrid model (Smart Sourcing), or a fully managed service.

Regulations

We consistently align ourselves with established security frameworks (e.g., CIS Controls), current regulatory requirements (e.g., NIS2, DORA, CRA, TIBER-DE/TIBER-EU, General Data Protection Regulation), and tried-and-true architectural and operational models, and we identify the organizational, procedural, and technical SOC capabilities required to efficiently meet these requirements.


Results of the SOC Workshop


At the end of the workshop, you will receive a structured management report:


  Summary of the current situation


  Specific, prioritized technology recommendations


  Target vision for the organization, roles, and processes


  Recommendation for an appropriate operating model


  Roadmap with milestones


The report serves as a reliable basis for decision-making regarding investment planning and the strategic development of your security operations.

Your benefit –
our added value

With the SOC Workshop, you can create transparency and lay the foundation for a sustainable detect-and-respond structure.


  A holistic view of technology, organization, and compliance


  Vendor-neutral, practical advice


  A structured basis for decision-making for management and IT


  A strategic roadmap instead of isolated, individual measures
