Security Operations

Real protection. Not compliance theatre.

What is a Security Operations Centre (SOC)?

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a dedicated team that monitors your IT environment 24/7 for cyber threats, suspicious activity, and security incidents. For most New Zealand SMEs, building an in-house SOC is impractical — it requires specialist staff, expensive tooling, and around-the-clock coverage. An outsourced SOC provides the same protection at a fraction of the cost, typically $50–$150 per user per month, using enterprise-grade tools like SentinelOne EDR, email threat filtering, and vulnerability scanning.

24/7 SOC Monitoring

Around-the-clock threat detection

Security Operations Centre monitoring your environment continuously. Threats identified and escalated before they become breaches.

How it works

Incident Response

15-minute response target

When something happens, we act fast. Containment, investigation, and remediation with clear communication throughout.

Response process

Proactive Security

Find weaknesses before attackers do

Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security assessments. Continuous improvement of your security posture.

Our approach
The Reality

24/7 threat monitoring. 15-minute response target.

Why this matters for your business

Ransomware gangs don't care about company size. Phishing campaigns don't check revenue before targeting your staff. When something happens at 2am on a Saturday, you need someone watching.

Most IT providers bolt on security as an afterthought. They'll sell you antivirus and call it protection. We built security into how we operate from the ground up.

What We Monitor

Endpoints. Identity. Email. Cloud. Network.

Endpoint protection

Every laptop, desktop, and mobile device gets behaviour analysis, threat detection, and automated response. We see what's running and stop what shouldn't be.

Identity monitoring

We watch login attempts, privilege escalation, and impossible travel, flagging anomalies before accounts are compromised.

Email security

Email remains the most common attack vector. Business email compromise attempts, credential harvesting, impersonation attacks. Multiple layers of detection stop threats before they reach inboxes.

Cloud & applications

We're watching Microsoft 365, Azure, and your line-of-business apps for data exfiltration attempts, configuration drift, and shadow IT.

When Things Go Wrong

Detect. Isolate. Contain. Communicate.

How we respond to incidents

Detection is pointless without response. If it's serious, we act immediately. Isolating compromised devices, blocking malicious access, containing the blast radius. Then we communicate clearly about what happened and what we're doing.

Our incident response isn't a theoretical playbook. It's battle-tested process refined over years of handling real attacks. We've contained ransomware outbreaks, hunted persistent attackers, and recovered businesses from serious compromises.

Why having us on retainer matters

When you're under attack, you don't want to be searching for a security vendor. You want a team that already knows your environment and can move fast. Our global partner SOC network provides 24/7 monitoring while our local team handles escalations and incident response during business hours.

Proactive Security

Find weaknesses before attackers do.

Vulnerability management

Vulnerability management isn't just running scans. It's understanding which vulnerabilities actually matter in your environment, prioritising based on real risk, and tracking remediation to completion. We don't just hand you a report and walk away.

Security assessments

Regular assessments review your posture against current threats and industry frameworks. We'll tell you where you're strong, where you're exposed, and what to fix first.

Security hygiene

Patching, configuration hardening, access reviews. The boring fundamentals that prevent most attacks. We handle it systematically so nothing falls through the cracks.

Why This Matters

Local team. NZ timezone. CERT NZ aligned.

Why local expertise matters

New Zealand's geographic isolation doesn't protect us from cyber threats. In fact, our time zone means attacks often land when overseas security teams are asleep. Having local analysts in the same timezone, who understand NZ business context and regulatory requirements, makes a real difference.

We understand Privacy Act obligations, industry-specific requirements for financial services and healthcare, and the practical reality of operating in a small market. When CERT NZ issues an alert, we're already checking your environment.

Local expertise, global threat intelligence

Our SOC combines international threat feeds with NZ-specific intelligence. We track campaigns targeting New Zealand organisations and adjust protections accordingly. When something's hitting Kiwi businesses, we know about it.
