Security Operations Centre (SOC)

Around-the-clock threat detection, investigation and response — delivered by Australian security analysts who know your environment, act on confirmed threats and give you the visibility to stay ahead of adversaries.

Coverage scope

Full-spectrum visibility across your attack surface.

Endpoint & server

Continuous telemetry from workstations, laptops and servers — Windows, macOS and Linux. Behavioural detection of malware, ransomware, living-off-the-land techniques and lateral movement in real time.

Identity & access

Sign-in anomalies, impossible-travel alerts, privilege escalation and credential-stuffing patterns across cloud and on-premises identity platforms. The most common entry point — watched closest.

Cloud & SaaS

Azure, AWS and GCP control-plane activity, misconfiguration alerting, and SaaS application audit logs — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce and beyond.

Network traffic

East–west and north–south flow analysis, DNS tunnelling detection, command-and-control (C2) beaconing and data-exfiltration patterns across your perimeter and internal segments.

Email & collaboration

Phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malicious attachment and account-takeover detection across your email and collaboration platforms — before users act on them.

Vulnerability & exposure

Continuous asset discovery and vulnerability scanning correlated with active threat intelligence. Risk-prioritised remediation guidance so your team patches what matters most, first.

How we operate

Four stages of a mature security operation

01

Detect

Correlated detection across all telemetry sources using a curated ruleset tuned to your environment — not generic out-of-the-box rules. Machine-learning-assisted anomaly detection layers on top to catch what rules miss.

02

Investigate

Every alert is triaged by a human analyst. We chase the thread — correlating across systems, mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and separating genuine intrusions from noise before we escalate to you.

03

Contain & eradicate

Confirmed threats are acted on immediately — host isolation, account suspension, firewall rule enforcement and credential rotation, with your authorisation model in place so the right people are notified at the right time.

04

Report & harden

Post-incident reviews, executive and technical reporting, and a continuous hardening programme. Every incident feeds back into your detection coverage — closing gaps so the same attack never lands twice.

Additional capabilities

A SOC that does more than watch dashboards

Proactive threat hunting

Our analysts don't wait for alerts to fire. Scheduled and intelligence-driven hunts search your environment for adversaries who have bypassed automated detection — quietly dwelling before triggering anything.

Incident response

When the worst happens, you have a response team already holding your environment context. Rapid containment, forensic investigation, recovery guidance and a clear root-cause report — no waiting for an IR firm to onboard.

Compliance monitoring

Continuous audit-log collection and alerting mapped to Australian regulatory frameworks — Essential Eight, ISO 27001, SOCI Act and APRA CPS 234. Evidence packs generated on demand for auditors and boards.

Tooling & approach

Enterprise-grade security operations — without the enterprise headcount

System Squared's SOC is built on a modern, cloud-native SIEM and SOAR platform, extended with best-of-breed endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR), threat intelligence enrichment and automated playbooks. If you already have security tooling in place, we'll operate in your environment. If you're starting from scratch, we bring a fully managed stack included in the monthly fee — no capital outlay, no procurement overhead.

Our analysts hold certifications across offensive and defensive security disciplines — OSCP, CISSP, GCIA, GCIH and CISM — so you get the judgement of experienced practitioners, not just alert-forwarding.

Who it's for

Built for Australian organisations that can't afford a breach

No internal SOC team

You have skilled IT people, but security operations is a specialised, always-on discipline. System Squared's SOC gives you a full analyst team for a fraction of the cost of building one in-house.

Regulatory obligations

Financial services, healthcare, government and critical infrastructure organisations face increasing mandatory cyber requirements. Our SOC provides the continuous monitoring, logging and reporting frameworks demand.

Cyber insurance requirements

Underwriters are increasingly requiring demonstrable detection and response capability. Our SOC provides the documented controls, response times and incident reports insurers need to offer competitive premiums.

The threat doesn't sleep. Neither do we.
