Why Bridewell's SOC Service?

Our Managed Security team can rapidly improve your organisation’s security posture by integrating the 24/7 threat detection and response capabilities of a hybrid or fully managed security operations centre (SOC). Gain access to a range of leading SOC services, supported by the unique insights and cyber threat intelligence from our security analysts, that help your organisation defend against cyber threats while remaining agile and cost effective. 

Have your hybrid or fully managed SOC up and running within days of signing your contract with Bridewell. Our security analysts will begin delivering an early SOC service and monitoring your organisation for cyber threats during the onboarding process. 

 For organisations building a hybrid SOC, Bridewell’s security team will operate in tandem with your existing in-house or outsourced security functions, such as threat intelligence or incident response teams. For those building a fully serviced SOC, Bridewell will provide all these capabilities in open collaboration with relevant stakeholders in your business to build a seamless security function. 

Our SOC team has extensive experience working with organisations in highly regulated sectors and hold dozens of certifications from leading industry bodies. Bridewell continually invests in training our analysts to keep them at the forefront of their capabilities and work closely with SANS to ensure we provide deep, vendor agnostic skills.  

Bridewell’s SOC service strikes the balance between automation and human analysis, leveraging threat intelligence and intrusion analysis to support the expertise of our analysts. We only introduce automation where we are certain it provides an improved service and in a continuous, open dialogue with our clients. 

Threat intelligence is the foundation of all our services, providing the latest insight into threat actors and risks. 

 Bridewell supports your organisation in using cyber security as a digital transformation enabler that helps you achieve your specific business goals. Our SOC is here to support change and not to be a bottleneck.  

We deploy SOC monitoring tools as code within our client’s tenants. Regardless of whether they renew a SOC contract with Bridewell, these remain the client's intellectual property.

Key Challenges Addressed

As organisations modernise their operations through new technologies and processes, their security capabilities can struggle to keep pace. In particular, sectors which depend on operational technology (OT) systems often find it difficult to maintain an accurate inventory of all the assets in their environments due to IT/OT convergence.

The introduction of IoT, IIoT, and process automation and digitalisation creates even further difficulties in ensuring end-to-end visibility across applications.  

Building the right capabilities to secure modern business operations requires the right capabilities in your SOC. However, the cyber skills gap has created a shortage of suitably skilled security analysts with relevant sector experience (particularly in securing OT), which can limit SOC capabilities.

This can impact business continuity, with organisations lacking the expertise to balance the availability of these new systems with confidentiality and integrity. A lack of sector experience in the SOC can also create undue complications in achieving compliance with relevant regulations – such as the NCSC CAF.
