SOC-as-a-Service
Threat Detection, 24/7 Monitoring and Expert Guidance Without Having to Hire an Entire Security Team.
Security tools generate a constant stream of alerts. Someone has to watch them, tune them, and decide what really matters. Most organizations do not have the staff to do that 24/7. NTS SOC-as-a-Service provides around-the-clock service from our in-house Security Operations Center (SOC), so your team isn’t on their own.
Alerts are constant. Your time isn’t.
Firewalls, endpoint tools, and cloud platforms can generate thousands of events and alerts. Without a Security Operations Center, most IT teams are stuck choosing between ignoring the noise or burning out trying to keep up.
- Security tools are in place, but no one has time to tune them properly.
- It’s not always clear which alerts are important and which can wait.
- After-hours coverage depends on “hoping the phone doesn’t ring.”
- Leaders want proof that someone is watching — not just hoping for the best.
You Shouldn’t Have to Build a 24/7 SOC Alone
Building your own Security Operations Center is expensive and timeconsuming. But doing nothing — or trying to handle everything with daytime staff — leaves gaps attackers can exploit. SOC-as-a-Service from NTS plugs our in-house SOC into your environment so you get continuous monitoring and expertise without having to hire an entire security team.
An In-House SOC Backed by Real-World Experience
Our SOC is built to monitor environments like yours — multi-site organizations with a mix of on-premise, cloud, and remote users.
- In-house Security Operations Center staffed by security analysts.
- Annual SOC 2 Type II audit over our internal controls.
- Integrations with leading endpoint, firewall, and cloud platforms.
- Experience supporting Senior Living, healthcare, finance, law firms, local governments, insurance, manufacturing, and EMCs.
Co-Managed or Fully Managed SOC Options
Whether you have a small IT team that needs backup or a larger team that wants a dedicated SOC, we can co-manage alerts with you or provide a fully managed SOC service. You stay in control of your environment — we give you the extra eyes and hands you need.
A Clear Path to 24/7 Monitoring
Getting value from a SOC should not require a six-month project. We follow a straightforward process to connect, tune, and operationalize SOC-as-a-Service for your environment.
1.
Connect and Collect
We integrate your key systems — firewalls, endpoints, servers, cloud platforms — into our SOC platform so logs and events flow into a central place.
2.
Tune and Prioritize
Working with your team, we tune alert thresholds, define what “normal” looks like, and document which systems and users are most critical.
3.
Monitor, Escalate, and Improve
Our analysts monitor events, investigate suspicious activity, and escalate to your team when action is required — with regular reporting and ongoing tuning

What life looks like with — and without — SOC-as-a-Service
A SOC should give you clarity and confidence, not more confusion. Here’s the difference the right SOC partner can make.
With NTS as your guide
- Someone is watching your environment 24/7 — not just during office hours.
- Your IT team has a security partner to lean on, not just more tools to manage.
- Alerts are tuned and investigated, not blindly ignored.
- Leadership sees regular reports instead of one-off fire drills.
- You have clearer answers when customers, regulators, or insurers ask about monitoring.
If nothing changes
- Alerts are overwhelming, inconsistent, or turned off entirely.
- After-hours incidents depend on “who happens to see it.”
- Security tools are in place, but not fully used or understood. It’s hard to demonstrate that you are actually monitoring for threats.
- One serious incident can catch everyone off guard.
