Evaluation

“The SOC with its 24x7 service has already been able to avert considerable damage in recent months. All attacks were detected – quickly and reliably isolated, resolved, and remedied.”

Michael Schöller (Head of IT at Schmitz Cargobull)

“Above all, the reduction in workload that the water SOC provides us with is clearly noticeable. We have well-defined processes in place to ensure that incidents are handled efficiently. This means that irrelevant issues can be automatically closed and we only get involved when necessary.”

Roman Tilavel (IT-Service Manager, GASAG)

“The operation of the Managed SOC by WATER is also an efficient solution for us. To operate something like this in-house, we would simply lack the resources and quality.”

In the initial 15-minute conversation, you will receive all the information you need to decide whether the next step makes sense. If we both agree that we are a good match, we will schedule a 1-hour strategy meeting to discuss the way forward.

Your IT security department is already doing important work, but often internal teams are overwhelmed and focused on urgent day-to-day tasks. Without specialized support, there is often little time for the 24/7 monitoring and immediate response to threats that is required. With an external SOC, you get a strong extension of your existing team – taking the pressure off your IT security and ensuring that potential attacks are detected and defended against in real time. This way you can be sure that your IT security is always up to date and that no threats are overlooked.

You may think that your company is too small for a SOC. However, small and medium-sized companies are often the target of cyber-attacks because they have fewer protective measures in place. Move away from the uncertainty of whether you will be the target of an attack to a scalable SOC that fits your size perfectly, protecting you from costly outages.

Implementing a SOC can be quick and seamless when done by experts. Depending on your organization’s unique requirements, we typically require a few weeks for full integration. Let’s discuss your current needs together to plan for the optimal timeframe.

While cyber insurance covers the financial losses resulting from an attack, it does not protect you from the attack itself. While insurance only comes into play in the event of an emergency, a SOC works preventatively, ensuring that threats do not cause damage in the first place. In addition, there are losses that no insurance can cover – such as reputational damage and the loss of customer trust. A SOC protects not only your budget, but also your brand.

Industries often have special compliance requirements, such as the NIS2 directive or the DSGVO, and a SOC specializes in meeting those requirements. Instead of worrying about whether you are meeting all regulatory requirements, the SOC ensures that you are continuously compliant and that threats are proactively averted. A SOC not only monitors your systems, but also your compliance with legal requirements, so that your company is always on the safe side. We would be happy to show you how our SOC can support your specific compliance requirements in an appointment.
