SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)
SOC as a Service, without building a SOC.
PrahiX runs your security operations centre as a service — continuous threat detection, analyst-verified triage, and automated incident response on one platform, with SIEM and SOAR already integrated. Your network, cloud, identity and cameras are watched as a single estate, 24x7, without three shifts of analysts to hire.

Why in-house SOCs stall.
Nothing about a security operations centre is hard to specify. It is hard to staff, hard to retain, and hard to keep watching at 3am — which is why most teams end up with tooling that alerts and nobody rostered to act on it.
24x7 is a staffing problem before it is a tooling one
Round-the-clock coverage needs three shifts plus relief across tier-1 to tier-3. Most security teams end up watching business hours and hoping nothing lands overnight — which is precisely when it lands.
SOC analysts are scarce, and they churn
Recruiting a full SOC bench means competing for people in a market that turns over constantly, then re-recruiting every time someone leaves. The rota is only as reliable as your last resignation.
A SIEM without SOAR just lengthens the queue
Correlation that only alerts hands your analysts more to read. Until response automation sits alongside detection, faster detection never becomes faster containment.
The network team and the security team see different truths
NMS says the link is saturated. The SOC says an endpoint is beaconing. Nobody says they are the same incident, because the two views live in two products with two ticket queues.
What you get from a managed security operations centre.
Detection, triage and response delivered as an operating service — priced as a subscription, not as a hiring plan and a capital project.
Proactive threat detection
Behavioural baselines, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detections and integrated threat intelligence look for the pattern before the payload — lateral movement, credential misuse, beaconing, privilege escalation — rather than waiting for a signature to match.
Automated incident response
A confirmed detection fires its containment playbook on our automated SOC platform — isolate a host, revoke a token, block an address, open the ticket with the timeline attached — instead of waiting on a handoff to a human who is asleep.
24/7 network & security monitoring
One service watches availability and attack surface together. A degrading uplink and an anomalous login are the same estate seen two ways, so neither is dismissed as somebody else's console.
Lower total cost of ownership
No SIEM licence to buy and tune, no SOAR to integrate, no night shift to roster, no second monitoring stack to renew. One subscription replaces the tooling, the integration effort and the round-the-clock staffing that a SOC otherwise requires.
Analyst-verified triage
AI triage collapses the noise and a human confirms what is promoted, so your team receives incidents worth working — not a queue to read through before the working day starts.
Evidence produced as a by-product
Retained incident timelines, response actions and monitoring records accumulate as the SOC operates, so an audit draws on what already exists instead of a reconstruction exercise.
One platform for NMS and SOC.
Most SOC as a Service providers see your security telemetry and nothing else. PrahiX was built as a unified operations platform, so network monitoring, security telemetry and automated remediation share one data model, one timeline and one screen.
Network and security signals land in the same incident
Interface counters, flow records, device health, syslog, endpoint and identity events are correlated together. When a capacity anomaly and a security event are the same story, the platform tells that story once.
SIEM correlation and SOAR response are one system
There is no integration seam between the thing that decides and the thing that acts, and no separate SIEM licence underneath. Detection and containment share the same rules, the same context and the same audit trail.
Physical security is in the picture, not in another building
Camera and access-control telemetry join the same timeline, so a tailgated door followed by an anomalous login is investigated as one incident rather than two tickets on two teams.
Remediation closes the loop on both sides
The same automation that contains a threat also fixes the known network fault — restart the service, fail the link over, clear the queue — because the platform that detects it is the platform with the runbook.
The difference on a Tuesday afternoon
Separate NMS and SOC
- NMS raises a latency alert on the branch uplink.
- The SOC, on a different console, sees an endpoint talking to an unfamiliar host.
- Two tickets, two teams, two priorities.
- The link is throttled, the ticket is closed, and the exfiltration continues.
PrahiX unified NMS + SOC
- One platform sees the traffic anomaly and the destination reputation together.
- Correlation promotes it as a single incident with both signals attached.
- The containment playbook isolates the host and preserves the timeline.
- The network team and the security team are reading the same screen.
How our SOC as a Service works.
Four stages, running continuously. You see every one of them — this is a managed service, not a black box that emails you.
Connect your estate
Agentless collection over SNMP, syslog, NetFlow and APIs brings in network devices, servers, endpoints, cloud, identity and — where you run them — cameras and access control. Onboarding starts with the highest-signal sources so useful detection begins well before the last device is connected.
Detect continuously
Telemetry is normalised and correlated in real time against MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detections, behavioural baselines and integrated threat-intelligence feeds. Proactive threat detection means the platform is looking for the sequence, not waiting for the alert.
Triage and verify
AI triage scores and enriches what fires, clusters the related events into one incident, and discards the noise. What survives is reviewed by an analyst, so an escalation to your team already carries context, severity and a recommended action.
Respond, then report
Confirmed incidents trigger their SOAR playbook automatically — containment first, notification alongside it. Every action, artefact and decision is retained on the incident timeline and rolls up into the reporting your auditors and your board ask for.
What SOC as a Service replaces.
The comparison that matters is not licence against licence — it is everything you would otherwise assemble, staff and keep running.
| Capability | Build an in-house SOC | Point tools + MSSP | PrahiX SOC as a Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24x7 coverage | Three shifts plus relief to hire and retain | Vendor SLA, often business hours for anything but P1 | Included — nights, weekends and holidays |
| SIEM | Licensed, deployed and tuned by you | Usually yours to license; the MSSP watches it | Correlation runs on the platform — no separate licence |
| Response automation | A SOAR project of its own | Notification, with containment left to your team | SOAR playbooks integrated with detection from day one |
| Network monitoring | A separate NMS and a separate team | Out of scope — a different contract | Same platform, same console, same incident |
| Physical security | Rarely connected at all | Almost never in scope | Cameras and access control on the same timeline |
| Time to first detection | Measured in quarters — hiring, then deployment | Weeks, once the tooling underneath is in place | Starts with the first connected sources, not the last |
| Cost model | Capex plus permanent headcount | Subscription, plus the tooling you still own | One operating subscription |
Evidence-ready for India's mandates
Continuous monitoring and retained incident timelines, so audits draw on what the SOC already does rather than on a reconstruction after the fact. The same evidence questions belong in procurement — they are the backbone of how to evaluate SOC service providers.

SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) means a provider runs your security operations centre for you — the detection tooling, the analysts and the 24x7 shift coverage — instead of you hiring and licensing all three. PrahiX delivers it on our own platform, so SIEM correlation and SOAR response are already integrated rather than stitched together after the fact.
MDR is usually scoped to endpoints and the detections its vendor ships. An MSSP typically manages tools you still own and license. A managed security operations center delivered as a service covers the wider estate — network devices, cloud, identity, and in our case cameras and access control — and owns the platform underneath, so you are buying the operation and the tooling as one thing. For a structured way to compare offers, see how to evaluate SOC service providers.
No. Correlation runs on the PrahiX platform, so there is no separate SIEM licence to buy or tune. If you already own one, we can ingest from it rather than replace it — worth telling us early, because it changes how we scope the rollout. And if you are weighing platforms side by side first, the SIEM evaluation checklist covers the criteria that survive a demo.
It removes four costs at once: the SIEM licence, the SOAR integration project, the round-the-clock staffing, and the separate network monitoring stack that would otherwise sit beside the SOC. Because detection, response and network monitoring run on one automated SOC platform, you are also not paying to integrate them or to keep those integrations working through upgrades.
Timelines depend on how many log sources you have and how reachable they are, so we scope against your actual estate rather than quote a number up front. Onboarding starts with the highest-signal sources — identity, perimeter and endpoints — so useful detection begins well before the full estate is connected.
Yes, and it is how most engagements begin. We scope a POC around a defined slice of your estate — a site, a business unit, or a specific set of log sources — connect it, and run real detection and triage against your own traffic so you are evaluating results rather than a slide deck.
Yes, and that is the part most SOCaaS providers cannot do. Camera, access-control and network telemetry land in the same incident timeline as your security events, so a tailgated door and an anomalous login are investigated as one incident instead of two tickets on two teams.
Escalation paths are agreed during onboarding — which incidents wake someone up, who that someone is, and what the platform is authorised to contain automatically before anyone is called. Containment playbooks can run unattended, require approval, or stay advisory, per action type and per environment. If you want your own analysts inside the loop rather than only receiving escalations, that model is a co-managed SOC.
