What Vortex delivers
During a Security Operations Center (SOC) Assessment, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to assess the effectiveness of your organization’s SOC in detecting, responding to, and mitigating security threats. This thorough review involves a meticulous examination of documentation, including policies, procedures, and incident response plans. Additionally, it includes discussions with SOC staff members to gain insight into their roles, responsibilities, and daily activities. Furthermore, the assessment team performs a manual review of the SOC’s technology infrastructure, including its monitoring tools, analytics platforms, and alerting systems.
The output of this rigorous evaluation is a detailed, tailored report that highlights the issues discovered during the assessment, along with a comprehensive analysis of their impact on the organization’s overall security posture. The report also includes recommended steps for operational improvements, which are designed to help your SOC better detect and respond to emerging threats, while minimizing the risk of successful attacks.
