24/7 SOC Coverage at 65% Lower Cost

Client

Regional US Financial Services Firm (Fintech)

A growing fintech company needed 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) coverage to meet regulatory requirements and protect customer data. Traditional SOC providers (managed security services) quoted $350,000-400,000/year for 24/7 coverage. Building an in-house SOC team would require hiring 6-8 security engineers at $150,000+ salary each. They needed an affordable solution without sacrificing security.

We were quoted $350,000 for traditional SOC services. AB7 Solutions delivered better 24/7 coverage at one-third the cost. Our security team loves having the dedicated analysts who are deeply integrated into our systems. We've detected and blocked threats in minutes instead of hours. This is a no-brainer for fintech companies.

From the SOC case study to the 250-seat Flatiron Series B SKU decision

The cybersecurity-soc-deployment case study above is a US fintech 24/7 SOC build. Ashok’s Day 8 blog walks the next-step decision a 47-person West 24th Street Series B CTO faces: CrowdStrike Falcon Pro standalone at $99/endpoint, Pro + AB7’s Mohali Phase 8B SOC L2 + Tenable.io at $302/endpoint, or Falcon Enterprise at $185/endpoint — with the 11-day Mohali SOC pod deploy plan and the honest 3-condition decision tree for when Enterprise actually wins (SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 board mandate, >30-day telemetry retention, AIG/Beazley named-vendor cyber-policy clause).

Industry patterns

The shape of the win, by sector.

Across the five sectors we’ve published, a clear pattern emerges. Cost-side wins dominate in regulated/back-office work; speed and capacity dominate in tech and marketing. Pick the closest match and the case study below it is your best read.

In their words

The operators who actually ran the project.

AB7 Solutions transformed our billing operations. We went from drowning in paperwork to processing claims faster than ever. The dedicated team understands healthcare and HIPAA, and they feel like part of our practice. The $85,000 monthly improvement in collections alone paid for their salary 5 times over.
Scaling our team 5x in 90 days would have been impossible with traditional hiring. AB7 Solutions delivered experienced engineers who were productive from day one. Our CTO was amazed at the quality and cultural fit. They felt like part of the team immediately, and our enterprise customers never knew the difference between in-house and remote.
We were quoted $350,000 for traditional SOC services. AB7 Solutions delivered better 24/7 coverage at one-third the cost. Our security team loves having the dedicated analysts who are deeply integrated into our systems. We've detected and blocked threats in minutes instead of hours. This is a no-brainer for fintech companies.

AB7's marketing team gave us the capacity we desperately needed without the overhead of hiring. They didn't just execute tasks - they brought strategic thinking. Our lead quality improved, our CAC dropped 65%, and we're now generating 3x more leads. They feel like an extension of our marketing department.
Our back-office team was eating us alive - $850,000/year for slow, error-prone processes. AB7 Solutions reduced our costs by 70% and actually improved quality. Invoices that used to take 10 days now process in 2. Our CFO is thrilled. The transition was seamless because AB7 handled the knowledge transfer professionally.

After a year of trying to build this in-house with experienced transcriptionists, we were ready to abandon the project entirely. AB7 came in, told us we were hiring the wrong profile, and rebuilt the team from scratch using fresh graduates trained for clinical comprehension and EHR work. Three to four months later we had a fully functional scribing team — exactly what we'd been chasing for over a year. The strategic reframing alone saved the program.
We thought we needed to hire two more ops people. AB7 told us we needed automation, not headcount. Three months later we'd cut 1,400 hours of monthly busywork and our ops team was finally working on growth instead of order spreadsheets. The Claude support bot alone handles 70% of tickets without anyone touching them.
Four agencies couldn't hit our hiring targets between them. AB7's embedded RPO pod placed 32 engineers in 90 days — and the cost-per-hire was 83% lower than what the agencies had been charging us. They felt like part of our internal team. Our VP of Engineering said it was the best investment we'd made post-Series-B.
We were five months out from an FDA inspection with a 4,200-case PV backlog and no path to clear it on US-only hiring. AB7 stood up a trained team in three weeks and we walked into that inspection fully current with zero 483s. The CRO quote we'd received was four times what AB7 charged. We've kept the team on retainer ever since.

FAQ

Common questions about these case studies.

Click any question to expand. If yours isn’t here, the closing CTA gets you a real human inside 24 hours.

Are these case studies real?
Yes. Every metric, before/after number, and testimonial comes from a real deployment. We anonymise client names where the contract requires it (most healthcare and fintech clients), but the numbers themselves are documented and independently verifiable on request under NDA.
Will I get the same results?
Range, not guarantee. Cost-cut percentages are remarkably consistent (60–70% across deployments) because they reflect a structural difference in cost base. Speed and quality outcomes depend on your starting point — book a call and we'll project realistic numbers for your specific role and stack.
How fast did each of these deployments go live?
Healthcare RCM: first profiles in 60 minutes, processing within 7 days. SaaS team scaling: 8 engineers in week 1, full 25 by week 12. SOC: 4-week ramp to 24/7 coverage. Marketing pod: live in 2 weeks. Back-office: 6 weeks to displace 7 in-house seats. Most clients see week-one impact.
Why are there only 5 case studies here?
Because these are the five we have signed permission to publish in this depth (with verifiable before/after metrics). We have 300+ active deployments — many under stricter NDAs that allow us to share results only on private calls. Book a discovery call and we'll walk you through deployments closest to your industry.
Can I talk to a referenceable client?
Yes. We can connect you with 1–2 referenceable clients in your industry on request, after a discovery call. Most clients are happy to share their experience by phone or video.
What's the typical engagement length?
Two patterns: (1) Project-based 12-week engagements for one-off scaling needs (the SaaS team-scaling case study). (2) Ongoing 12+ month engagements for steady-state operations (healthcare, cybersecurity, back-office, marketing). No lock-in — clients can terminate with 30 days' notice.
