Aruga Cyber analysts monitoring security operations

Enterprise SOC

Know exactly what is protecting your business. Every minute of every day.

Aruga’s Enterprise Security Operations Centre monitors your entire environment around the clock, detects threats the moment they emerge, and contains them in an average of 60 seconds.

  • 60s average containment
  • Up to 90% reduction in false positives
  • Microsoft-native
  • UK-based, BPSS cleared
  • Zero SLA breaches

The challenge

You already have security in place. The question is whether it is actually working.

Most organisations we speak to at this level are not starting from nothing. They have tools, they have processes, and they have a provider. What they do not have is confidence.

They cannot see what their SOC is doing between reports. Response times are measured in minutes when attacks move in seconds. Detection rules are generic, built for a template environment rather than theirs. And when something serious happens, they find out after the fact.

There is also the Microsoft question. Most mid-market organisations have significant investment in the Microsoft security stack. In most cases that investment is underperforming: the tools are not properly configured, not actively monitored, and not working together as they should.

That is the gap Aruga was built to close.

What you get

A SOC built around your environment. Not a template.

Every Enterprise SOC deployment is bespoke. We learn how your business actually operates before building your threat detection logic.

24/7 monitoring

Nothing goes unobserved.

Endpoints, Microsoft 365 identities, cloud infrastructure, and every connected log source monitored continuously, 365 days a year.

Bespoke detection rules

Reduce noise. Focus on threats that actually matter.

Detection logic built around your specific risk profile and user behaviour. Only validated, confirmed threats reach your team.

60-second automated containment

Stop serious threats before they have time to spread.

Endpoints isolated. Processes terminated. Accounts disabled. Automated response fires immediately on confirmed high-severity threats, 24/7.

Microsoft Teams visibility

See your SOC in action as it happens.

Every alert, every containment action, every investigation update delivered to your dedicated Teams channel in real time. You never chase a portal for answers. They come to you.

Active threat hunting

Find threats before they find you.

UK-based analysts actively hunt for threats that automated detection has not yet surfaced. Every alert validated by a trained analyst before it reaches you.

Reporting and service reviews

Always know exactly where you stand.

Regular service reviews with evidenced recommendations, showing what has changed, why, and what we are watching for next. Mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

Microsoft-native

Your environment. Your data. Your SOC.

Aruga is a Microsoft Solutions Partner. We deploy our SOC natively on Microsoft Sentinel, directly into your own Azure environment. Your data never leaves your tenancy.

We also integrate with security tools you already run, including SentinelOne and Sophos, so everything feeds into one unified view in Sentinel.

See your SOC in action

This is what your team sees in Microsoft Teams.

Every alert, investigation, and containment action appears in real time, in the tool your team already uses every day.
