What is a Managed SOC?
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a dedicated team plus technology stack that monitors your IT infrastructure 24x7, detects threats, triages incidents and responds to attacks before they cause damage. A Managed SOC is the same capability delivered by an external provider, so you get round-the-clock security operations without hiring an in-house security team.
Codesecure delivers Managed SOC for SMBs using an open-source stack: Wazuh SIEM for log management and threat detection, TheHive for incident case management, n8n for SOAR automation, Cortex for response actions and MISP for threat intelligence. No license fees means we put your budget into deployment quality, tuning and 24x7 analyst coverage rather than into vendor licensing.
Why SMBs Need a SOC
Small and mid-size businesses are increasingly targeted by ransomware, phishing and data theft because attackers know SMBs lack dedicated security teams. The myth that "we are too small to be a target" is exactly what makes SMBs the easiest target. Indian SMBs in fintech, healthcare, manufacturing and SaaS are seeing record breach activity in 2024-26.
SOC is also rapidly becoming compliance baseline. RBI Cyber Security Framework requires 24x7 monitoring for regulated entities. DPDP Act 2023 expects reasonable security safeguards including incident detection and response. ISO 27001 Annex A.8.15-A.8.16 mandates logging and monitoring. SOC 2 Common Criteria CC7 requires evidence of continuous monitoring. Without a SOC, both attackers and auditors find the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Managed SOC and do small businesses really need one?
A Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) is a dedicated team and technology stack that monitors your IT infrastructure 24x7 for threats, detects incidents, and responds to them. Small and mid-size businesses are increasingly targeted by ransomware, phishing and data theft precisely because attackers know they lack dedicated security teams. A managed SOC gives you continuous protection without the cost of hiring in-house analysts, and is increasingly expected by enterprise customers, insurers and regulators.
Why do you use Wazuh instead of commercial SIEM tools?
Wazuh is a professional-grade open-source SIEM and XDR platform trusted by thousands of organisations globally. Commercial alternatives carry significant per-GB and per-endpoint licensing that puts professional SOC out of reach for SMBs. Wazuh delivers log management, threat detection, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection and compliance reporting with zero license fee, which lets us put more budget into deployment, tuning and 24x7 analyst coverage. We are deeply familiar with Wazuh, ELK, OpenSearch and OSSEC, that is our SIEM specialisation.
What kind of reports do you generate and how often?
11 report types: Daily Security Summary, Weekly Security Report, Monthly Executive Report, MITRE ATT&CK Report, Compliance Report, Incident Response Documentation, IT Asset Inventory, Authentication Audit, Vulnerability Assessment, Agent Health Report, File Integrity Monitoring Report. Reports are PDF and Excel, generated automatically on schedule, and delivered to your inbox. Ad-hoc on-demand reports are also available.
What is the difference between Managed SOC and SOC Implementation?
Managed SOC: we deploy the full stack on your infrastructure and our team monitors, responds and reports on your behalf on an ongoing basis. SOC Implementation: we deploy and configure the complete stack on your servers, train your team and hand it over for you to run internally, with optional retainer for tuning and escalation. Both options include the full reporting engine.
Is my data stored on your servers or on my own infrastructure?
For both engagement models, the SOC stack is deployed on your own servers or your preferred cloud environment. Your log data, security events and reports stay within your infrastructure. We do not store your security data on our servers. This gives you full data sovereignty and makes compliance with DPDP Act 2023, ISO 27001 and sector-specific regulations easier to demonstrate.
How quickly can you start?
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-scope proposal in 24-48 hours under signed NDA, and start architecture review the same day or next business day after sign-off.
Can SOC evidence satisfy ISO 27001, PCI DSS, RBI or DPDP audits?
Yes. Our managed SOC directly supports ISO 27001 Annex A.8.15-A.8.16 (logging and monitoring), A.5.24-A.5.28 (incident management), PCI DSS Requirement 10 (log management), SOC 2 Common Criteria CC7 (system monitoring) and RBI Cyber Security Framework SOC requirements. The compliance report template produces audit-ready evidence aligned to each framework.
