24×7 Detection & Response

A SOC is a central unit within an organization which is responsible for the continuous monitoring, detection and response regarding security incidents. Our SOC team uses advanced Microsoft technologies to identify cyber threats, analyse and mitigate them. This way we help you with the 24/7 protection of your IT-infrastructure.

A SOC handles many types of threats, such as:

• Malware (viruses, ransomware, etc.)
• Phishing attacks
• Intrusion attempts
• (Distributed) Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks
• Insider threats (from within the organization)
• Zero-day vulnerabilities

The Security Operations Center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, continuously monitoring security systems across your environment. It analyzes log data and evaluates alerts generated by firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and other security technologies. When a suspicious incident is detected, the SOC responds immediately. The team investigates and analyzes the event, and—if necessary—takes appropriate actions to contain, mitigate, and resolve the threat. The goal is to minimize impact and ensure business continuity, even in the face of active cyber threats.

When a security incident is identified, the SOC follows a structured response process:

1. Detection - The incident is discovered through monitoring tools or reported alerts.
2. Analysis - The SOC investigates the incident to determine its origin, scope and potential impact.
3. Response - Immediate actions are taken to isolate and contain the threat, preventing further damage.
4. Recovery - Systems are restored and returned to a secure and stable state.
5. Evaluation - The incident is reviewed to identify lessons learned and implement improvements that help prevent future threats.

Our SOC analysts aim to respond immediately once an incident is detected. While response times can vary depending on the severity of the incident and the nature of the threat, the goal is always to act as quickly as possible to minimize potential damage.

While the SOC is capable of detecting many suspicious activities through automated monitoring, it's always helpful when employees report unusual emails, behaviors or system activity. Human awareness adds an important layer of defense and helps the SOC respond even faster. Reporting suspicious activity reduces the risk of threats slipping through unnoticed and strengthens the overall security posture of your organization.

There are several steps you can take to help improve your security:

• Use strong, unique passwords and adjust them regularly (make use of a passwordmanager)
• Enable MFA and be critical about access management within your organization
• Avoid clicking suspicious links in e-mails
• Use our Security Awareness Training to train yourself and your employees
• Only install IT-approved software
• If you see something suspicious, or when in doubt, immediately contact our SOC team

• Continuous monitoring of security incidents
• Quick detection and respons to cyber threats
• Reduction of damage by security threats
• Compliance with laws and regulations (NIS2, ISO 27001)
• Proactive security measures by identifying vulnerabilities

We follow strict privacy guidelines to ensure that only authorized personnel has access to sensitive data. The SOC handles in agreement with the GDPR and other relevant laws or regulations.

In case of a data breach, the SOC will immediately take action in order to avoid damage. This entails the isolation of the breach source, informing stakeholders, and starting an investigation to determine the cause and scale of the incident.

The SOC works closely together with IT-departments, legal teams, compliance departments and the management. This helps to efficiëntly handle incidents and take all the steps that need to be taken to enforce the security policy of the company.

Ja, een SOC speelt een belangrijke rol bij de naleving van regelgeving door het monitoren en beveiligen van systemen, het identificeren van potentiële risico's en het vastleggen van alle beveiligingsgebeurtenissen. Dit helpt de organisatie bij het voldoen aan de vereisten van onder andere NIS2 die in Q2 van 2026 voor veel bedrijven verplicht wordt.
