Managed Security Operations Center by iS Group
Enterprise-Grade Threat Detection Without Building Your Own SOC
iS Group delivers a fully managed Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) designed for organizations that require continuous threat visibility, rapid incident response, and compliance readiness — without the complexity and cost of building an internal SOC.
Our service combines SIEM, XDR, threat intelligence, and expert SOC analysts into a unified operational model delivered under a Managed Services (MSP) framework.
We operate as an extension of your internal IT and security teams — providing 24/7 monitoring, detection, investigation, and response capabilities aligned with modern cyber threat landscapes.
SOC Architecture: Intelligence-Driven Security Operations
Our SOC is built on a layered detection and response model:
SIEM (Security Information & Event Management)
Centralized log aggregation, correlation, and real-time event analysis
XDR Layer (Endpoint & Extended Detection)
Deep telemetry from endpoints, servers, and workloads enabling behavioral detection
Threat Intelligence Integration
Continuous enrichment of events with global threat intelligence feeds
Security Analytics & Correlation Engine
Advanced detection rules, anomaly detection, and use-case driven monitoring
Incident Response Framework
Structured triage, escalation, containment, and remediation workflows
Core Capabilities
24/7 Security Monitoring
Continuous surveillance of your infrastructure, endpoints, and network activity through centralized SOC operations.
Threat Detection & Correlation
Advanced detection logic combining SIEM correlation rules, behavioral analytics, and XDR telemetry to identify both known and unknown threats.
Incident Investigation & Response
SOC analysts perform deep analysis, root cause identification, and provide actionable
response recommendations or execute predefined response actions.
Log Management & Compliance Support
Collection, normalization, and retention of logs aligned with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NESA, GDPR, etc.).
Threat Intelligence Integration
Contextualization of security events using global intelligence sources to prioritize real risks.
Use Case Development & Tuning
Continuous optimization of detection rules and monitoring scenarios tailored to your environment.
MSP Delivery Model: Security as an Operational Service
Our SOC is delivered as a fully managed service, removing the need for internal SOC staffing, infrastructure investment, and tool integration.
What This Means for Your Organization:
- No need to build or operate a physical SOC
- Reduced time to detection and response (MTTD / MTTR)
- Predictable operational cost model (OPEX vs CAPEX)
- Access to experienced SOC analysts and threat hunters
- Continuous improvement of detection capabilities
Integration-Ready & Vendor-Agnostic
Our SOC platform is designed to integrate with a wide range of technologies:
- Endpoint security & XDR platforms
- Firewalls and network security devices
- Cloud environments (Azure, AWS, M365)
- Identity & access management systems
- Third-party security tools and telemetry sources
We bring strong operational experience with XDR platforms, enabling deeper visibility and faster response across endpoint layers when integrated.
SOC Use Cases
- Suspicious login behavior & identity compromise detection
- Endpoint compromise and lateral movement detection
- Data exfiltration attempts
- Privilege escalation monitoring
- Malware and ransomware activity detection
- Insider threat indicators
- Policy violations and anomalous behavior
Operational Workflow
Data Collection
Logs and telemetry are collected from all relevant systems
Normalization & Correlation
Events are processed and analyzed in the SIEM platform
Detection & Alerting
Suspicious activities trigger alerts based on defined use cases
SOC Analyst Investigation
Events are validated, enriched, and prioritized
Response & Escalation
Immediate actions are taken or recommended based on severity
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Regular reporting and tuning of detection mechanisms
