Security Operations
A SOC run by people who know how attackers think.
Adayptus breaks into networks for a living, through penetration tests and red team engagements. Our security operations are built on that: detections written from the techniques we use to get in, proven by the same team, and watched around the clock by analysts who understand what they are looking at.
Detections written by attackers
Built from the techniques our red team uses to get in, not only from vendor defaults.
Tested, not assumed
Purple team exercises prove a detection fires before you rely on it.
Your platform, not ours
We operate the SIEM you already own. No proprietary lock-in.
Around the clock
Analysts on shift at every hour, with escalation paths agreed before day one.
The problem
Why most SOCs produce alerts, not security
These are not tuning problems. They are the predictable result of a SOC that only ever looks at the network from the defender's side.
Alerts, but not answers
The SIEM raises thousands of events. Most are noise, and the ones that matter arrive looking exactly like the ones that do not.
Our approach
Analysts triage every alert against your environment before it reaches you. You receive incidents with context, not a queue.
Detections nobody chose
Out-of-the-box rules are written for a generic network. Yours has specific crown jewels, specific trust relationships and specific ways in.
Our approach
We build detection use cases around your actual attack surface, informed by what a penetration test of it would find.
Blind spots between tools
Identity, cloud, endpoint and email each report separately. An intrusion crossing all four looks like four unrelated low-priority events.
Our approach
Correlation across sources turns scattered signals into a single incident with a timeline. See the example below.
Nobody checks the detections work
A rule that has never fired may be silent because nothing happened, or because it is broken. Most SOCs cannot tell the difference.
Our approach
Our offensive team runs the techniques deliberately and confirms the SOC sees them. Gaps become new detections.
Response stops at the ticket
Many monitoring services notify and step back. Containment, forensics and recovery become your problem at the worst possible moment.
Our approach
The same provider carries the incident through containment, forensic investigation and root cause, with a retainer option for guaranteed response.
Every one of these is a design choice, not bad luck.
What makes it different
The attacker's mind, working for the defender
Most SOC providers only do defence. We run offensive security too, and the two feed each other: what the red team gets past becomes a detection, and every detection gets tested by someone trying to evade it.
Offensive security
How we find what your SOC would miss
- Red team attack simulationObjective-based intrusions whose techniques become detection content
- Purple team exercisesAttack and defence side by side, tuning detections in real time
- Breach and attack simulationAutomated, repeatable checks that controls still fire
- Attack surface managementExternal exposure that tells the SOC where to look
Security operations
How we watch, hunt and respond
The two sides meet in purple team exercises, where we run an attack and tune the detection for it in the same session.
Service models
Choose the SOC model that fits how you work
The right model depends on what you already have and what you want to keep. All four share the same analysts, detection content and offensive testing.
Bars show who runs day-to-day operations in each model.
| Attribute | Managed SOC | Co-Managed SOC | MDR | SOC Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The SIEM | We operate it | You own it; we work inside it | Not required | Selected and deployed for you |
| Who staffs it | Our analysts, every shift | Shared: we cover after-hours and Tier 1/2 | Our analysts, focused on response | Your team, trained by ours |
| Your team’s role | Receive incidents, approve response actions | Keep ownership and direction | Approve containment playbooks | Own and operate after handover |
| Best when | Teams without in-house security operations | Existing SOCs short on people or coverage hours | Organisations that need response, not log management | Organisations building their own capability |
Coverage
Every source you run. One team watching all of it.
We onboard telemetry from across your estate into the SIEM you already own, so an intrusion that crosses five tools reaches one team as one story.
Endpoint
EDR and servers
Identity
IdP and directory
Cloud
AWS, Azure and GCP
Network
Firewalls and proxies
Applications
Web apps and APIs
Databases
Access and audit logs
Email
Mail gateways
SaaS
Collaboration suites
Typical sources. What we onboard for you is agreed during scoping.
Outcome
Analyst investigation
Every alert is triaged by a person against your environment. What reaches you is a confirmed incident with its timeline.
Pre-approved containment
Response actions you approve in a playbook are taken straight away. Anything else waits for your authorisation.
Why correlation matters
One intrusion. Five tools. Five alerts nobody escalates.
An illustrative example of how a real intrusion looks to a SOC that watches each tool separately, and to one that correlates across them.
- STEP 1
Email
T1566A message delivers a credential-harvesting link and a user clicks it.
“Suspicious URL clicked”Low - STEP 2
Identity
T1078A sign-in from a new country, minutes after one from the office.
“Unfamiliar sign-in”Medium - STEP 3
Cloud
T1098A new access key is created for a service account, then used from an unknown address.
“New access key”Low - STEP 4
Endpoint
T1021A remote administration tool runs on a file server.
“Remote execution”Medium - STEP 5
Data
T1567A large archive leaves for an external storage service.
“Large upload”Medium
Watched separately
Five low or medium alerts in five consoles, spread over an afternoon. Each looks like routine noise, and none is escalated.
Correlated
One incident with one timeline: a compromised account moving from email to identity to cloud to a server and out with your data. Critical, and escalated while it is still happening.
How an engagement runs
From first log source to a SOC that proves itself
The last phase is the one most providers skip, and the one that tells you whether the first four worked.
Discover
Map your environment, crown-jewel assets, existing tooling and the obligations you report against.
Onboard
Connect log sources to the SIEM and confirm each is arriving complete and parsed.
Build detections
Write and tune use cases for your attack surface, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with response playbooks agreed.
Operate
Steady-state monitoring on every shift, with incident escalation and regular service reviews.
Prove and improve
Offensive testing against the SOC itself, threat hunting, and new detections from what it finds.
Compliance
Built for the clocks you report against
Indian regulation puts hard timelines on detection and notification. A SOC that finds an incident on day three has already put you out of time.
And the monitoring controls global frameworks ask for
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Annex A 8.15 logging, 8.16 monitoring activities
SOC 2
CC7.2 monitoring system components for anomalies
PCI DSS v4.0.1
Requirement 10, log and monitor all access
MITRE ATT&CK
Detection coverage mapped by technique
A SOC helps you meet these obligations by detecting, escalating and documenting incidents in time. The regulatory reporting duty itself stays with your organisation. Timelines are summarised here; check the current text of each regulation for your obligations.
Technology
Your platform. Our people.
We are not selling a proprietary platform, so we have no reason to replace the one you have. We operate the SIEM you already own, and if you are starting from nothing, we help you choose one on its merits.
Platforms: Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and IBM QRadar, with detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Outcomes
What changes for your team
Fewer alerts reach your team
Triage happens before escalation, so what arrives is worth your attention.
Incidents, not fragments
Correlated timelines instead of a stream of unrelated low-severity events.
Detections you know work
Coverage tested by our offensive team against real attack techniques.
Evidence for auditors
Reporting that maps monitoring activity to the frameworks you answer to.
