Managed SOC 24/7/365 for African financial institutions

Attacks strike at night and on weekends. Your monitoring should never sleep.

The challenge

An in-house 24/7 SOC requires a dozen analysts — scarce and costly in a talent-starved market. The result: alerts piling up unread, and hours of latency between compromise and response that turn a manageable incident into a crisis.

What we deliver

  • SIEM collection and correlation of your critical sources (endpoints, network, cloud, business apps)

  • Detection enriched with African financial-sector threat intelligence

  • Analyst triage — escalation only when warranted

  • Incident response: containment, investigation, evidence preservation

  • Monthly reporting with MTTD/MTTR and regulator-ready notification material

Our method

Mapping of your sources and priority detection use cases.

Progressive onboarding to the SOC and threshold tuning (false-positive reduction).

24/7 run with jointly validated response playbooks.

Regular exercises and continuous detection improvement.

Who it's for

Banks, microfinance institutions, payment operators and insurers wanting world-class monitoring without building the team in-house.

Frequently asked questions

Does our data leave the country?

The model adapts to your sovereignty constraints: local collection is possible, encryption is systematic, and log residency is contractually agreed.

Shared or dedicated SOC?

Shared for most institutions (better cost, pooled intelligence); a hybrid model keeps decisions and business knowledge on your side.

How fast are we operational?

First critical sources are monitored within weeks; full coverage builds in waves over 2-3 months.
