Shild SOC

Stop guessing. Start knowing: How strong is your SOC?

Discover your SOC’s true potential and unlock its next level with SOC Maturity Assessment (SMA).

Your Security Operations Center (SOC) is the heartbeat of your cyber defense – detecting threats, responding to incidents, and safeguarding your digital assets.
But here’s the truth: many SOCs aren’t performing as effectively as they appear.

Our SOC Maturity Assessment (SMA) is a structured evaluation that examines every layer of your SOC – people, processes, and technology. We reveal exactly how capable your defenses are today and give you a clear, actionable plan to prepare for the threats of tomorrow.


Common Pain Points We Solve

1sma

Unclear SOC effectiveness

Uncertainty whether your SOC is detecting and responding to the most relevant threats.

2sma

Inefficient investments

High costs for tools and staff without clear proof of value or measurable ROI.

3sma

Process and communication gaps

Delays or breakdowns that slow down incident detection and response.

4sma

Technology underperformance

Outdated, underused, or misconfigured capabilities in your security stack.


Risks of Doing Nothing

  • Attacks remain undetected for weeks, causing major financial and reputational damage.

  • Inefficient processes delay response, leading to higher costs and downtime.

  • Poor visibility results in wasted investments in tools or personnel.

  • Compliance objectives are at risk – potentially triggering fines or lost contracts.

 

Your Key Benefits

  • Comprehensive evaluation of your SOC maturity level

  • Clear identification of strengths and optimization potential

  • Tailored action plans to help you advance to the next level

  • Support during implementation

 

What You Can Expect

Our assessment evaluates all functional areas of your SOC – from processes to technology and delivers actionable recommendations to enhance your cybersecurity posture.


Initial

At the initial level, processes in the SOC are disorganised, ad hoc and even chaotic. Success is likely to depend on individual efforts and is not considered repeatable. This is because processes are not sufficiently defined and documented to be reproducible.

Repeatable

At level 2, the necessary SOC processes are established, defined and documented. This allows basic project management techniques to be established and successes in important process areas can be repeated.

Defined

At level 3, the SOC has developed its own standard processes. These defined processes enable a stronger focus on documentation, standardisation and integration of processes.

Managed

At this level, a SOC monitors and controls its own processes by collecting and analysing data.

Optimized

At the optimized level, processes are continuously improved by gathering and incorporating feedback. Innovative processes and functions are introduced on an ongoing basis.

We measure maturity across all SOC functional areas

How fast and effectively can your SOC react when incidents occur?

  • SOAR: Optimize automation to accelerate response and reduce analyst workload.

  • Digital Forensics: Strengthen capabilities to investigate breaches and trace attack paths.

  • Incident Analysis: Improve root cause understanding to prevent repeat incidents.

Stay ahead of attackers by proactively managing vulnerabilities and exposures.

  • Vulnerability Management: Identify and remediate weaknesses before they can be exploited.

  • CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management): Establish ongoing risk visibility to prioritize defenses.

  • ASM (Attack Surface Management): Control and secure your digital footprint across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid.

Build a solid foundation that scales with your business.

  • Cloud Security Engineering & Management: Ensure your cloud environments are secure and compliant.

  • SIEM Engineering & Management: Maximize the value of your SIEM with fine-tuned configurations and analytics.

  • Sensor Engineering & Management: Strengthen detection capabilities with well-managed, strategically placed sensors.

Turn data into actionable insights and stay one step ahead.

  • CTI Collection: Collect, enrich, and integrate threat intelligence for smarter defenses.

  • Malware Analysis: Deep-dive into malicious code to understand attacker techniques.

  • Threat Hunting: Actively search for hidden adversaries before they strike.

Go beyond day-to-day monitoring and test your defenses.

  • Red & Purple Teaming: Simulate real-world attacks and validate your SOC’s resilience.

  • Exercises: Train your team with realistic scenarios for stronger readiness.

  • Situational Awareness: Improve visibility to understand threats in context.

The core of your SOC – fast, precise detection and escalation.

  • Event Correlation: Connect the dots across logs and signals to uncover attacks.

  • Alert Triage: Prioritize alerts efficiently to avoid fatigue and missed threats.

  • Incident Report Acceptance: Streamline intake processes for faster case handling.


How do we achieve that?

Step 1: Assessment Workshop
Joint processing of our assessment sheet in half-day or full-day workshop(s).

Step 2: Analysis & Action Plan
Evaluation of the assessment and classification of the SOC Maturity, compilation of improvement measures.

Step 3: Final Workshop
Joint final workshop to discuss the results and the final report.

Step 4: Implementation (optional)
Support by aDvens in the implementation of improvement measures.
