24/7 SOC Coverage at 65% Lower Cost

The challenge

What the client was up against.

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.

The solution

How AB7 deployed.

AB7 Solutions deployed a dedicated team of 4 security professionals working in two overlapping shifts (12-hour shifts, 6 days/week) covering all business hours plus 4 hours of evening coverage. The team monitored security alerts through SIEM (Splunk), performed threat analysis, and escalated incidents. AB7 provided security certifications (CEH, CompTIA Security+) and ongoing training. Implementation included custom dashboards and incident response runbooks.
