SOC as a Service — 24/7 eyes on your environment, from day one
SIRI Security's SOC as a Service gives you continuous, 24/7 monitoring and alert triage from an operational security team, live within weeks rather than the 12+ months it typically takes to build an in-house SOC.

Why managed security is now a named requirement

Effective
31 JUL 2026
RBI's 2026 Framework specifically requires a 24×7 Cyber Security Operations Centre for commercial banks — the core capability managed security services are built to deliver.
Growing gap
62% CLOUD
Cloud misconfiguration and IAM exploitation account for 62% of detections in cloud environments (DSCI) — monitoring scope has to extend beyond on-premises infrastructure.
Baseline
6 HR WINDOW
CERT-In's notification requirement depends on actually detecting an incident promptly — managed monitoring is the precondition for meeting the deadline.
Baseline
70% MALWARE
Trojans and file infectors make up 70% of malware detections (Seqrite 2026) — the entry point managed detection is tuned around.
Extending
12–18 MO
RBI's historical pattern of extending bank requirements to NBFCs — managed security expectations are likely on this same trajectory.
Round-the-clock coverage without building an in-house SOC
What is SOC as a Service?
Building an in-house Security Operations Center requires hiring and retaining analysts across shifts, licensing a SIEM, and building detection content — a multi-year, expensive undertaking most mid-market organisations can't justify. SOC as a Service delivers the same continuous monitoring capability without that build.
Our analysts monitor your environment around the clock, triage alerts against tuned detection content, and escalate genuine incidents to your team (or directly into our Incident Response service) — with false-positive fatigue managed on our side, not yours.
24/7 coverage is now a named regulatory expectation, not a nice-to-have
RBI's 2026 Framework names a 24×7 Cyber Security Operations Centre directly — an organisation without dedicated round-the-clock coverage doesn't meet this bar, regardless of how strong its preventive controls are.
SIRI Security delivers SOC as a Service to this standard directly — practitioner-led, documented, and connected to SIRI Law LLP's legal and regulatory response if a finding ever needs to go further.
What organisations get wrong
Four assumptions that leave organisations effectively unmonitored
Most coverage gaps aren't about missing tools — they're about how monitoring is actually staffed and operated.
01 — STAFFING
“We'll build an in-house SOC eventually”
A genuinely 24/7 in-house SOC requires a headcount most organisations can't justify before they actually need managed coverage instead.
02 — GOVERNANCE
“We don't need a CISO-level function yet”
Security decisions without CISO-level ownership tend to drift — a virtual CISO gives that function without a full-time executive hire.
03 — SCOPE
“Our internal team covers incident response too”
Detection and response are different disciplines under real time pressure — most internal teams aren't staffed for both simultaneously.
04 — VISIBILITY
“We'd notice if something serious happened”
Without dedicated surveillance, the gap between compromise and detection is exactly what most breaches exploit.
What SOC as a Service covers
What's included, start to finish
Coverage and capability delivered as a managed service, escalating directly into response when something real is found.
01
24/7 alert monitoring & triage
Continuous coverage across shifts, so nothing waits until Monday morning.
02
Tuned detection content
Detection rules tuned to your environment, not generic out-of-the-box noise.
03
False-positive reduction
Active tuning to keep your team focused on genuine signal.
04
Direct incident escalation path
A clear, fast path into full incident response when something real is found.
05
Monthly threat & trend reporting
Regular reporting on what was seen and what it means for your risk posture.
Evidence, not guesswork
No managed security vs. in-house effort vs. SIRI managed security
Building 24/7 in-house is a genuinely different undertaking than operating one effectively.
| Approach | No managed security | In-house, self-staffed | SIRI SOC as a Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage hours | Ad hoc / business hours | Depends on internal staffing | 24/7 |
| CISO-level ownership | None | Often absent | Available as vCISO |
| Direct escalation into response | No defined path | Depends on internal process | Pre-agreed, tested |
| Satisfies RBI's CSOC requirement | No | Partially, if resourced | Yes |
| Cost vs. building in-house | N/A | High fixed cost | Scoped to actual need |

Numbers every board should know
What managed security is actually catching
24/7
Monitoring coverage
Continuous, not business-hours-only or periodic review.
62%
Of cloud detections
Trace to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation (DSCI).
70%
Of malware detections
Are trojans and file infectors (Seqrite 2026).

Incidents CERT-In handled
In the latest reporting year — the scale managed monitoring exists to catch a share of.
Why SIRI for SOC as a Service specifically
Managed detection connected directly to response, not a separate vendor relationship
The team monitoring your environment is the same team that responds when something real is found.
01
Directed by SIRI's Head of Cybersecurity
Vikram Rao, SIRI's Head of Cybersecurity, directs offensive security and incident response and leads CERT-In breach containment for enterprise clients.
02
Findings connected directly to legal exposure
SIRI Security runs under the same roof as SIRI Law LLP — when a finding carries real legal exposure, the engagement can be brought under attorney-client privilege from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
03
Built for RBI's specific 24×7 CSOC requirement
Deployed and operated to meet the 24×7 CSOC standard the 2026 Framework names directly for regulated banks and NBFCs.
04
Financial-sector coverage built in
Deepa Menon, Senior Associate, advises banks, NBFCs, and payment aggregators directly on RBI licensing, SEBI CSCRF, and financial-sector cyber resilience.

OngoingFrequently asked
SOC as a Service, answered directly
Do you use our SIEM or your own?
We can work with your existing SIEM or provide one as part of the service — whichever is more cost-effective for your situation.
What happens when you find something serious?
It escalates immediately per the agreed SLA, with a direct path into our Incident Response service if full containment support is needed.
How long does onboarding take?
Most MSSP-category services onboard within 2 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity of your existing environment and tooling.
What are your response SLAs?
SLAs are agreed per engagement based on severity — critical alerts are typically acknowledged within minutes, not hours; we'll confirm specifics during scoping.
