IS YOUR COMPANY READY FOR 24/7 SOC MONITORING?
BEFORE WE SIGN THE AGREEMENT, WE CHECK WHETHER YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS READY FOR IT.

Why do we need to check whether your network and devices are suitable for cybersecurity monitoring?

  • Most SMEs that request SOC services are not yet ready for them.
  • Their infrastructure has gaps that would make monitoring incomplete or even impossible: old network equipment, lack of network zoning, devices operating outside IT control.
  • That is why we start with an audit rather than a contract.

Why is network and device adaptation so important?

  • Hackers may have been in your network for months. Before encrypting your files, they spend weeks or even months quietly collecting data, mapping systems, and waiting for the right moment. Antivirus software won't detect this.
  • SOC detects the presence of an intruder during the reconnaissance phase, before they can cause any damage. But for this to be possible, the network must be visible. In its entirety.

Check if your company is ready for 24/7 monitoring

Schedule a free zero audit. We will check the readiness level of
your infrastructure and suggest what needs to be changed.

How prepared is your company?

Every company starts from a different place. The ADQ zero audit precisely determines your level and indicates what needs to be changed.

Level 0: No visibility

Router from the operator, no firewall, unknown number of devices operating on the network, no central management. Before implementing monitoring, it is first necessary to build the infrastructure.

01

Level 1: Minimal visibility

There is a firewall, some devices are managed centrally, logs exist, but no one collects or analyzes them. Monitoring is possible after an audit and corrections.

02

Level 2: Partial visibility

Modern firewall with logging, centralized device management, preliminary network segmentation. Monitoring is possible, but with gaps, covering approximately 60–70% of the environment.

03

Level 3: Full visibility

Modern firewall, endpoint protection, centralized identity management, cloud monitoring. Full 24/7 SOC ready for immediate implementation.

What determines whether monitoring is possible?

01. Network infrastructure: the foundation of visibility

This is the first thing we verify. We ask: does the company have a modern firewall from which logs can be downloaded? Do network devices allow traffic to be viewed and analyzed? Is the network divided into zones, separately for the office, servers, guests, and IoT devices? What does remote access to company resources look like?

What monitoring excludes: cheap consumer routers without management capabilities, no firewall (only a device from the operator), a network without any zoning (in such a network, an attack spreads without any barriers).

02. End devices: computers, servers, phones

The company needs to know what it has on its network. We verify whether all devices are running on supported operating systems, whether there is central management of computers and phones, whether it is known how many and what devices are connected to the network, and what the situation is with employees' private devices.

What monitoring excludes: old operating systems such as Windows 7 or XP, on which a security agent cannot be installed; lack of device inventory (you cannot monitor something you do not know exists), private phones and laptops on the company network without any control.

03. Identity and access: who, when, and where

We check whether each employee has their own individual account, whether administrator accounts are separate from everyday work accounts, whether the company uses two-factor authentication, and whether there is a central directory of users and permissions.

What prevents monitoring: shared accounts, e.g., one “admin” account for several people. As a result, in the event of a security incident, it is impossible to determine who did what. This precludes a reliable analysis after a breach.

04. Cloud and SaaS applications

More and more SMEs are using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or online ERP systems. Monitoring must also cover these environments. We ask what cloud tools the company uses, whether the licenses it holds allow access to security logs, and whether employees use unapproved applications.

What limits monitoring: lower M365 plans (such as Business Basic) simply do not provide security logs. Shadow IT, i.e., applications used without the knowledge of the IT department, is completely beyond the scope of monitoring.

What determines whether monitoring is possible?

01. Lack of network documentation

The company does not know what it has on its network, it does not have a list of devices, it does not have a connection map. You cannot monitor something you do not know exists.

Solution: audit and automatic inventory.

02. Old network equipment

Switches and routers from a decade ago do not produce logs, do not have APIs, and cannot be integrated with any analytical tools.

Solution: a physical ADQ probe plugged directly into the network.

03. Shadow IT

Employees use Google Drive, Dropbox, and dozens of other tools without the IT department's knowledge. Each of these is a potential attack vector, invisible to standard solutions.

04. Private devices on the corporate network

An employee's smartphone without any control on the company network is a black hole. SOC will not see what is happening through it until it is managed.

05. Insufficient cloud licenses

In lower Microsoft 365 plans, security logs are not available. Cloud monitoring is then impossible without changing the subscription.

06. One IT person

Even when logs exist, no one has time to read them. The IT specialist handles the helpdesk, printers, and server at the same time, and no one is responsible for security monitoring. In this situation, our SOC service is the ideal solution.

Check your network for leaks free of charge

We start with a free audit: we check whether your infrastructure is ready for monitoring and identify the most important threats.

Use cases

Use cases: how SOC works and when you need it

USE CASE #1

From an outdated smartphone
to mass spam from a company domain

USE CASE #2

How ransomware paralyzed a warehouse
with an outdated ERP system

USE CASE #3

Lack of control over authorizations leading to paralysis of the accounting office

USE CASE #4

One laptop, 200 points of sale,
and total paralysis – how ransomware
brought a nationwide retail chain to a standstill

USE CASE #5

Lack of monitoring leading to theft of funds from a company account
