Build Your Own SOC
(BYOSOC)

Command. Control. Conquer.

Establish your own Security Operations Center to gain complete visibility, regulatory dominance, and uncompromised threat response—on your terms.

Why a Build Your Own SOC?

Outsourcing security can reduce short-term costs—but may limit your control, transparency, and compliance flexibility. A Captive SOC (BYOSOC) provides:

  • End-to-end visibility and control over your security operations
  • Zero data dependency on third-party MSSPs
  • Regulatory alignment with ISO 27001, RBI, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC2, NIST
  • Custom use cases and response logic tailored to your business
  • Context-rich incident response from internal teams
  • Long-term cost efficiency for mid-to-large organizations

    Techowl’s Captive SOC Implementation Approach

    Our structured 6-phase framework ensures you move from planning to a fully operational SOC with measurable KPIs.

  • Assess current infrastructure and log sources
  • Identify business-specific use cases and compliance requirements
  • Maturity benchmarking and gap analysis
  • Cost-benefit modeling and SOC roadmap

  • Define centralized, distributed, or hybrid architecture
  • Map log ingestion pipelines, secure zones, alert flow
  • Design for endpoint, cloud, SaaS, and OT coverage
  • Choose deployment model: on-premise, cloud-native, or hybrid

  • SIEM deployment (QRadar, Sentinel, Splunk, ELK)
  • Integrate EDR, NDR, firewalls, cloud logs, AD, threat intel
  • Implement SOAR for automation, ticketing, and orchestration
  • Setup dashboards, UEBA, sandboxing, and retention policies

  • Define SOC team structure: SOC Manager, L1–L3, Threat Hunter, Forensics
  • Create onboarding plans and training path
  • Develop SLAs, SOPs, runbooks, and escalation workflows
  • Implement case management and shift scheduling

  • Prioritize detection rules (phishing, ransomware, data exfiltration, etc.)
  • Develop custom correlation rules aligned with MITRE ATT&CK
  • Test with Red Team and simulate incidents
  • Create and validate response playbooks
  • Conduct tabletop exercises for leadership

  • Launch 24/7 monitoring with dashboards and alerts
  • Continuously optimize detection logic and suppress false positives
  • Enable executive reporting with daily/weekly/monthly summaries
  • Handover documentation, audit logs, and success metrics

    MSSP vs Co-Managed vs BYOSOC — A Balanced Comparison

    Feature MSSP SOC Co-Managed SOC BYOSOC (Captive SOC)
    Ownership of Data Managed by service provider Shared Fully owned by organization
    Custom Detection Logic Standard rule sets Partial customization Fully tailored
    Speed of Response SLA-governed (external) Joint decisions Real-time, internal decisions
    Compliance Control Generalized templates Adjustable to a degree Fully mapped to internal needs
    Knowledge Retention External Shared Built in-house
    Long-Term Cost Recurring costs Shared cost model Higher initial, lower long-term

    MSSPs are ideal for rapid security coverage and scale. BYOSOC is ideal when you want full ownership,
    context-driven security, and deeper compliance control.
