Leverage SOC-as-a-Service instead of building a 24/7 security staff

SOC-as-a-Service That
Extends Your Security Team

Security tools generate a constant stream of alerts. Our SOC platform watches them around the clock, uses automation and machine learning to identify what really matters, and alerts our analysts when action is needed — so your team doesn’t have to live in the console.

Talk with our SOC Team

Automation does the watching. Analysts step in when it counts.

Firewalls, endpoints, Microsoft 365, and cloud apps generate thousands of events a day. Our SOC platform takes the first pass — correlating signals, suppressing noise, and triggering alerts only when patterns match real risk.

When that happens, our analysts are notified, step in to investigate, and use pre-defined response playbooks to contain issues quickly.

You Shouldn’t Have to Build a 24/7 SOC Alone

Building your own Security Operations Center is expensive and timeconsuming. But doing nothing — or trying to handle everything with daytime staff — leaves gaps attackers can exploit. SOC-as-a-Service from NTS plugs our in-house SOC into your environment so you get continuous monitoring and expertise without having to hire an entire security team.

Alerts are constant. Your team still has a day job.

Most organizations have the right tools in place — but not the time to tune them, watch them, and decide which alerts truly matter, especially outside of normal hours.

  • Security tools are in place, but no one has time to tune rules or review all the logs.
  • It’s hard to know which alerts are critical and which are “background noise.”
  • After-hours coverage depends on whoever happens to see an email or phone call.
  • Leaders want proof that something is actually watching for trouble — not just hoping for the best.
  • Log review happens sporadically — or not at all — when people get busy.

You shouldn’t have to build a 24/7 security team to get 24/7 monitoring.

Building a fully staffed SOC with shifts, analysts, and engineers is out of reach for most IT teams. Automation and smart alerting bridge that gap.

NTS SOC-as-a-Service uses continuous, automated monitoring to watch your environment, and then brings our analysts in when the system detects something worth attention.

A clear path to automated monitoring and human-backed response

We connect your systems, tune what “matters most,” and then let automation do the watching — with our analysts ready to jump in when alerts fire.

1. Connect and Collect

We integrate your key systems — firewalls, endpoints, servers, Microsoft 365, identity, and cloud platforms — into our SOC platform so logs and events flow into a central SIEM.

2. Tune and Define what matters

With your team, we define which events are important, which are noise, and what actions should be taken automatically. We build detections and thresholds that reflect your real risk. The goal is simple: automation handles the routine, while humans focus on true signals.

3. Automate, alert, investigate, improve

Our platform runs 24/7, executing pre-approved responses automatically when certain triggers are met and alerting both our analysts and your team. Any automated action can be rolled back with a click if needed. When a situation calls for human judgment, our analysts step in alongside your team so we can investigate and respond together. Over time, we refine rules and playbooks based on what we see in your environment.

Automatic first response — with humans in the loop

Using SOAR-style playbooks and pre-defined actions, our systems can automatically take steps such as disabling a suspicious account, blocking a malicious IP, or isolating a device. When those actions fire, our analysts are alerted and can validate, adjust, or escalate as needed.

What’s Included in SOC-as-a-Service

Every environment is different, but most NTS SOC-as-a-Service engagements include these core capabilities.

SIEM

Centralized Log Collection

  • Collection of logs from firewalls, servers, endpoints, identity, and cloud services.
  • Normalization and correlation across multiple sources for better context.
  • Retention aligned with your compliance and audit requirements.

Monitoring

24/7 Monitoring and Alerts

  • Continuous automated monitoring of events from connected systems.
  • Alerting when detections match defined rules, thresholds, or ML signals.
  • Notifications to NTS analysts and your team when key alerts fire.

investigation

Threat Detection & Investigation

  • Detections focused on identity attacks, email abuse, and cloud misuse.
  • Analyst investigation of alerts that warrant human review.
  • Guidance on containment steps and recommended next actions.

co-managed

Co-Managed SOC Support

  • Shared visibility with your IT or security team.
  • Collaboration on tuning, runbooks, and response playbooks.
  • Support that extends your staff instead of replacing them.

reporting

Reporting & Executive Summaries

  • Regular reports on events, trends, and key metrics.
  • Plain-language summaries for leadership, boards, and owners.
  • Documentation you can use with auditors and cyber insurance carriers.

program alignment

Alignment With Your Security Program

  • Integration with your existing security tools where possible.
  • Support for policies, incident response plans, and tabletop exercises.
  • Recommendations for improving your broader security posture over time.

automation

Automated response capabilities

  • Pre-defined response actions for specific detections and triggers.
  • Automatic containment steps to slow or stop attacks before people log in.
  • Human review when automated actions fire, so you stay in control.

What life looks like with — and without — SOC-as-a-Service

A SOC should give you clarity and confidence, not more confusion. Here’s the difference the right SOC partner can make.

With NTS as your guide

  • Someone is watching your environment 24/7 — not just during office hours.
  • Your IT team has a security partner to lean on, not just more tools to manage.
  • Alerts are tuned and investigated, not blindly ignored.
  • Leadership sees regular reports instead of one-off fire drills.
  • You have clearer answers when customers, regulators, or insurers ask about monitoring.

If nothing changes

  • Alerts are overwhelming, inconsistent, or turned off entirely.
  • After-hours incidents depend on “who happens to see it.”
  • Security tools are in place, but not fully used or understood. It’s hard to demonstrate that you are actually monitoring for threats.
  • One serious incident can catch everyone off guard.
