The technology behind the service

ROCyber vCISO doesn’t build a SOC from scratch — that isn’t realistic at this price point. The service is built on two proven, enterprise-grade platforms that together deliver complete protection for your business.

SOC Platform — 24/7 protection

An enterprise-grade platform delivering full endpoint and infrastructure protection:

  • Managed EDR — endpoint threat detection and response
  • Managed SIEM — centralized log collection and analysis across your infrastructure
  • Managed ITDR — identity protection for Microsoft 365
  • Managed SAT — phishing simulations and security awareness training
  • 24/7 monitoring — continuous coverage by people and AI
Contractual MTTR 8 minutes — one of the few providers in the industry that publishes a formal response-time SLA. Independent analyses confirm this stands out in the SMB segment.

Patch management system

An RMM-class tool providing IT infrastructure management:

  • Patch management — automated security patching
  • Inventory — full visibility into hardware and software
  • Remote access — secure remote desktop support
  • Automation — update schedules and reporting
  • Scalability — deployed above the 200-endpoint threshold
RMM standard from 200 endpoints — deployed above the 200-workstation threshold, providing full infrastructure control
8 minutes is not a marketing promise — it’s a contractual commitment from our SOC platform provider, the same platform the entire service is built on. In practice, that means your business gets a response time comparable to the most expensive enterprise solutions, at a price built for SMBs.

How ROCyber compares

Your closest alternative on this list is Sophos MDR — the only other provider with no hard minimum seat count and 24/7 SOC included in the price. Sophos, however, does not publish an MTTR — only an SLA covering 90% of High-severity incidents within 60 minutes. ROCyber’s SOC platform publishes a formal, contractual 8-minute MTTR — a faster, harder commitment than any comparable SMB-focused provider on this list.
