Services on Heelr
Managed SOC
Attacks do not keep office hours, and few organisations can watch their own systems around the clock. A managed security operations centre, or SOC, provides continuous monitoring and detection so that suspicious activity is spotted and acted on quickly, rather than discovered weeks later.
Heelr connects you with professionals and providers offering monitoring and detection services. Every professional is identity-verified with validated certifications, and you agree scope and terms before anything begins. Because a managed SOC is an ongoing service rather than a one-off project, the arrangement is set up to suit continuous cover.
What a managed SOC covers
A managed SOC provides continuous monitoring of your systems, detection of suspicious activity, and alerting or response when something is found. It shifts security from something you check periodically to something watched continuously, which matters most for organisations holding sensitive data or facing higher threat levels.
Common questions
What does a managed SOC actually do?
It monitors your systems continuously for signs of attack, investigates alerts, and escalates or responds when a genuine threat is found. It is the difference between watching for problems constantly and discovering them after the fact.
Do we need a managed SOC?
It depends on your risk. Organisations handling sensitive data, facing regulatory pressure, or operating in higher-threat sectors benefit most. Smaller or lower-risk companies often start with periodic assessment rather than continuous monitoring.
How is this different from incident response?
A managed SOC watches continuously to catch incidents early. Incident response is what happens once an incident is confirmed. They work together: monitoring detects, response acts. See incident response.
