Cybersecurity FAQs

AB7 Solutions staffs full-time SOC L1 analysts from Mohali, India starting around $1,500-$2,200/month for a dedicated 160-hour/month resource with Security+ or CySA+ certification. That includes alert triage on Splunk/Sentinel/CrowdStrike, ticketing in ServiceNow or Jira, and daily shift handoff reports. AB7 isn't a sole-source MSSP for Fortune-500 SOCs - we augment in-house teams or fully run SOCs for 50-2,000 user accounts. Book a 30-minute scoping call on Calendly to lock pricing for your shift pattern.

AB7 prices a dedicated SOC L2 analyst with Splunk Power User + Microsoft SC-200 certifications at roughly $2,400-$3,200/month full-time from Mohali. The L2 owns escalations from L1, runs incident playbooks, tunes detection rules, and writes after-action reports. We bench-test candidates on KQL, SPL, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping before placement. AB7 doesn't sell shrink-wrap MDR - we provide named analysts who join your Slack/Teams. Pull pricing and three pre-vetted L2 CVs from a Calendly call this week.

AB7 part-time SOC analyst rates: L1 ~$10-14/hour, L2 ~$18-26/hour, threat hunter ~$28-40/hour. Minimum engagement is 80 hours/month for predictable coverage. Hourly works well for spike shifts, weekend coverage, or audit-prep windows. AB7 doesn't sell ad-hoc 5-hour blocks - context-switch cost makes that wasteful for both sides. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com with shift hours and we'll send a fixed-price PO same day.

AB7 runs L1 IT helpdesk per-ticket or per-seat. Per-ticket pricing for 100-user shops typically $7-10/ticket including phone/email/chat resolution, password resets, M365/Google Workspace, Okta/JumpCloud lifecycle, basic VPN, hardware ticket triage. Average ticket volume 1.5-3 per user per month. Or flat $1,400-2,200/month per dedicated L1 agent (40 hr/week). AB7 won't ship laptops - logistics stays with your provisioning vendor. Calendly to compare per-ticket vs per-seat for your volume.

AB7 hourly rates by role: SOC L1 $10-14, SOC L2 $18-26, SIEM/EDR engineer $25-35, threat hunter $28-40, cloud security engineer $30-45, SecOps lead $35-55, CISSP/architect $50-75. Minimum engagements: 60-80 hours/month for predictable continuity. Discounts apply at 320+ hr/month or annual commits. AB7 won't quote $5/hour - that signals throwaway resourcing and we don't run that model. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com for a rate card.

Typical AB7 monthly retainers: SMB co-managed SOC $4-7K, Mid-market 24/7 SOC $8-14K, Cloud SecOps pod $9-15K, IAM/Email security $3-6K, IT Helpdesk 24/7 (250 users) $5.5-8.5K, Vulnerability management as a service $2-4K. Annual commits earn 8-12% discount. AB7 doesn't offer 'unlimited tickets/incidents' - bounded scope avoids hidden cost overruns. Calendly to build a custom retainer for your stack.

For Indian domestic clients, AB7 SOC L1 runs INR 1.0-1.6 lakh/month dedicated, SOC L2 INR 1.8-2.6 lakh/month, threat hunter INR 2.6-3.8 lakh/month. Includes Splunk/Sentinel/CrowdStrike skill baseline, certifications, GST extra. AB7 doesn't quote 30-50K INR/month for security roles - those rates buy contractor risk. Email director@ab7solutions.com for an INR rate card and 3 SOC CVs.

A US SOC L1 fully loaded costs $85-110K/year ($7-9K/month). AB7 dedicated L1 is $1.5-2.2K/month - so yes, 70-78% reduction is realistic per FTE. For 24/7 coverage (5 FTE in US vs 3 FTE in India follow-the-sun), savings are typically $250-400K/year. AB7 won't claim savings without quality - retention 90%+ and certifications proven. Calendly to model your specific savings.

AB7's smallest cyber engagement is 1 dedicated SOC L1 at ~$1,500-2,200/month, or 60 hours/month part-time at ~$700-1,000/month. Below that, the operational overhead (KT, runbook, ticketing) burns more value than it creates. AB7 doesn't do 5-hour-a-week 'security advisory' retainers - that's not where we add value. Calendly to find the right minimum-viable shape for your team.

Yes - AB7 fixed-prices defined-scope projects: SIEM tuning sprints ($14-22K, 4 weeks), SOC 2 readiness ($25-40K, 12 weeks), pentest ($7-12K, 2 weeks), Conditional Access rollout ($14-22K, 6-8 weeks), CNAPP onboarding ($18-28K, 8 weeks). Day-to-day ops are time/material or monthly retainer. AB7 won't fixed-price 'unbounded incident response' - that's per-hour with cap. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com for a fixed-price quote.

Sub-$10/hour security listings are typically interns, contractors with no cert, or pooled-pool agencies with 4-8 clients per analyst. AB7 SOC L1 starts at $10-14/hour because the analyst is dedicated, certified (Security+ minimum), tenured (90%+ retention), and works on your stack only. Cheap pooled SOC means missed alerts and shadow turnover. AB7 won't race to the bottom on rate. Calendly to walk our hiring/retention model.

AB7 typical commit discounts: 12 months prepaid = 8-10% off list, 24 months = 12-15% off list, plus locked rates against annual India inflation. Multi-team commits (SOC + helpdesk + cloud) earn additional 3-5%. We document escalation cap (max 5%/year) in the MSA. AB7 won't lock you in with steep early-termination fees - 60-day termination for cause is standard. Calendly to model a 24-month commit.

Post-certification dual-track maintenance runs $2,800–$4,200/month and includes evidence collection, quarterly control testing, internal audit, surveillance audit prep, vendor risk reviews, and policy refresh cycles. Includes one named GRC analyst plus 4 hours of vCISO time monthly. We don't bundle penetration testing in this retainer — that's separately scoped annually. Lock pricing at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting or +91 98156 88660.

AB7's fully managed annual program for 500 users: monthly phishing sims, quarterly training assignments, biannual ransomware tabletops, executive briefings, and SOC 2/ISO evidence packs. Bundled fee: $14,500–$22,000/year (excludes platform license — typically KnowBe4 at $25–$45/user). One named CSM and quarterly executive reviews. We don't charge per-incident for ad-hoc awareness alerts. Quote at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Non-retainer emergency IR rates: $325/hour (analyst), $480/hour (senior IR lead), $625/hour (forensics examiner) with 4-hour minimum and 50% premium for nights/weekends. Retainer clients pay 30% less and get 1-hour SLA. India-domestic non-retainer: INR 16,000–32,000/hour. We don't quote fixed-fee on first incident with new clients — too much unknown scope. Hotline +1 321 341 7733 or +91 98780 67778.

AB7's vCISO tiers: Starter $2,500/mo (8h, fits 50–100 people), Growth $4,800/mo (20h, fits 100–250), Scale $8,200/mo (40h + part-time GRC analyst, fits 250–500), Enterprise custom (60h+, fits 500+). Each includes named CISO, quarterly board reporting, and program ownership. We don't run sole-source vCISO for FedRAMP environments — we'd partner you with a US-based prime. Book a fit call at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes - AB7 can deliver follow-the-sun SOC L1 coverage for around $4,800-$6,000/month using a 3-shift rotation of 2-3 analysts from Mohali plus a part-time L2 lead. That fits monitoring + triage for a single SIEM tenant up to ~5,000 EPS. For higher EPS or multi-tenant SOC, budget $8-12K/month. AB7 won't pretend $5K covers full IR retainer + threat intel feeds - we'll scope honestly. Run the math with us on a Calendly working session.

AB7 runs three SOC shifts from Mohali: Day (IST 7am-3pm = EST 9:30pm-5:30am), Evening (IST 3pm-11pm = EST 5:30am-1:30pm), and Night (IST 11pm-7am = EST 1:30pm-9:30pm). Most US clients pick Evening + Night to get a full EST business-day overlap. Analysts hold Security+ minimum, many CySA+ and SC-200. AB7 does not flex shifts daily - rotations lock for 30+ days for analyst health. Confirm shift fit on a Calendly call.

Yes - AB7 supports white-label SOC staffing for MSSPs in the US, UK, and Middle East. Analysts use your email, your ticketing, your client-facing reports. We've run white-label rotations for 9 MSSP partners over 5+ years. Pricing for white-label is identical to direct ($1,500-3,200/month per analyst) plus a 7-10% PMO fee for shift-lead coordination. AB7 won't poach your clients - written non-circumvent in every MSA. Calendly for a partner intro call.

Yes - AB7 staffs weekend-only and US-holiday SOC shifts at roughly $900-1,400/month for 64-80 hours of coverage Sat-Sun. Same Splunk/Sentinel/CrowdStrike skill baseline. Useful for lean teams that have weekday in-house coverage but need someone watching SIEM Friday-Sunday. AB7 won't pair weekend coverage with deep IR on call - you'd add an L2 retainer for that. Quick scope on Calendly and we'll quote within 24 hours.

Every AB7 SOC L1 candidate ships with Security+ minimum, and 60% also hold CySA+ or SC-200. We maintain a bench of 40+ analysts in Mohali and pull from a 12-year hiring funnel. Time-to-place for a Security+/CySA+ analyst is 7-10 business days including KT. AB7 doesn't fake certs - we share certificate IDs for verification on Pearson VUE/CertMetrics. Email director@ab7solutions.com to request 3 CVs with cert IDs attached.

AB7 has CISSP-credentialed shift leads and a CISSP/CISM-led security practice based in Mohali. Shift leads run morning briefs, tune detection content, sign off on escalations, and produce monthly SOC effectiveness reports (alert volume, MTTA/MTTR, false-positive rate). CISSP lead day rate runs $35-55/hour or ~$5,500-7,500/month dedicated. AB7 won't market CISSPs we don't have - cert IDs available on request. Calendly to meet a SOC lead.

AB7 has 4 OSCP-credentialed offensive engineers running internal network pentests, AD assessments, web app pentests (OSWE-aligned), and red-team-style purple exercises. A 2-week internal pentest with full report runs $7,500-12,000 depending on scope. Threat hunting + pentest combined retainers are popular for mid-market. AB7 won't compete with NCC Group on Tier-1 product reviews - we deliver pragmatic mid-market pentests. Calendly for a pentest scope call.

AB7's pentest team holds OSCP (most lead testers), OSWE (web specialists), OSEP (advanced evasion), CRTP/CRTE (AD red team), eCPPT, GPEN/GWAPT, CEH for compliance-tagged engagements, and AWS/Azure security certs for cloud testers. We assign a certified lead per engagement based on scope. We don't market 'Certified Ethical Hacker only' as senior — CEH alone isn't sufficient. Roster details on request — email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com.

Standard onboarding for a dedicated SOC L1 from AB7 is 7-10 business days: 2 days for shortlist + interview, 2 days paperwork/NDA, 3-5 days for SIEM access, runbook review, and shadow shifts. We pre-train on your stack (Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, etc.) using your sandbox. AB7 won't ghost-staff - the analyst named in the SOW is the analyst on shift. Lock a kickoff slot via Calendly and we'll have a CV pack in your inbox same day.

AB7 holds 90%+ annual retention across 300+ professionals (12-year average). Cybersecurity team attrition runs ~7-9% annually, well below India ITES industry average of 18-22%. If an analyst exits, replacement SLA is 5-7 business days with full KT from the outgoing analyst. We pay above-market for SOC roles and run a 3-month bench. AB7 won't pretend zero attrition exists - we engineer for fast, clean handoff. See retention data on a Calendly call.

An AB7 L1 triages SIEM alerts (~80-150/shift), validates true positives, opens tickets in ServiceNow/Jira, executes documented playbooks, escalates to L2/IR within SLA, runs threat-intel lookups (VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, MISP), and writes a shift-end handoff. They don't write detection rules or run forensic image analysis - that's L2/L3 scope. AB7 keeps L1 focused so MTTA stays under 10 minutes. See a sample shift report on a Calendly walkthrough.

Yes - AB7 L1/L2 analysts work daily on PCI-DSS Req 10 log review, HIPAA 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D) audit trail monitoring, and SOX IT general controls. We use client-defined runbooks; we don't assert compliance certification ourselves. Analysts produce evidence packs (alert logs, ticket IDs, remediation timelines) that drop straight into auditor binders. AB7 is not a QSA or HITRUST assessor - we feed your auditor. Email director@ab7solutions.com for a sample PCI evidence pack.

Yes - phishing triage is a top-3 L1 workload at AB7. Analysts ingest user reports via Phish Alert Button (KnowBe4, Proofpoint, Cofense), detonate URLs/attachments in sandbox (ANY.RUN, Joe Sandbox, Hybrid Analysis), pull message-trace from M365/Google Workspace, purge mailbox-wide via eDiscovery, and submit IOCs to your EDR block-list. Average MTTR per phish: 25-45 minutes. AB7 doesn't author awareness training content - that's your KnowBe4 admin. Calendly for a phishing-response SOW.

AB7 L2 analysts execute documented IR runbooks: contain (EDR isolate), eradicate (kill processes, remove persistence), recover (restore from snapshot), and report. We follow NIST 800-61 phases. Average L2 holds GCIH or SC-200 plus 3-5 years SOC. AB7 isn't a forensic-grade IR firm like Mandiant or Unit 42 - for litigation-grade chain of custody, we coordinate with your retained DFIR provider. Drop a runbook on a Calendly call and we'll dry-run it.

Yes - AB7 analysts plug into PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Splunk On-Call (VictorOps), and Squadcast as named on-call rotations. We honor your escalation policy, response SLAs (1/5/15 min), and acknowledgment workflow. Bidirectional ticket sync supported via webhooks. AB7 doesn't replace your engineering on-call - we cover security on-call so engineers sleep. Send your PagerDuty schedule via Calendly and we'll align rotations within a week.

AB7 has 6 dedicated threat hunters trained on MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise + Cloud + Mobile matrices. Hunts run weekly across SIEM (Splunk/Sentinel/Elastic) and EDR telemetry, with documented hypothesis -> query -> finding -> detection-engineering loop. Hunters hold GCFA, GCIH, or CEH Practical. Dedicated hunter rate: $3,200-4,500/month. AB7 isn't a threat-intel publisher (we don't compete with Mandiant/Recorded Future) - we hunt inside your stack with their feeds. Calendly for a sample 30-day hunt report.

AB7 runs Tenable.io / Tenable.sc / Nessus VMaaS for ~15 clients. Scope: scan policy, asset onboarding, credential lifecycle, vulnerability triage by exploitability + asset criticality, weekly remediation tickets to IT/DevOps, monthly executive report, exception workflow. Lead engineers hold Tenable.io Specialist. Dedicated VM analyst $2,000-2,800/month. AB7 doesn't patch your servers - we drive your patch team via tickets and SLAs. Calendly for a Tenable VMaaS scoping.

Yes - AB7 runs cross-domain hunts spanning cloud (CloudTrail, Azure Activity, GCP Audit), endpoint (CrowdStrike/SentinelOne/Defender), identity (Okta + Azure AD sign-in logs), and SaaS audit logs. Output: 4-8 documented hunts/month, each with hypothesis, queries, findings, and detection rules promoted to SIEM. Hunt program $4,500-6,500/month. AB7 won't replace your in-house detection engineers - we extend them. Calendly for a 30-day pilot scoping.

Yes - AB7 runs DAST scans on Burp Suite Enterprise, Acunetix, Qualys WAS, and Invicti, plus light SAST triage in SonarQube/Checkmarx. Workflow: weekly scans, false-positive triage, severity validation, remediation guidance to dev teams, monthly trend report. AppSec analyst dedicated rate $2,400-3,400/month. AB7 won't write secure code for you - we scan, validate, and ticket. Calendly for an AppSec triage sample.

Yes - AB7 operates EASM tooling (Tenable ASM, Microsoft Defender EASM, Palo Alto Xpanse, or open-source like Amass/Subfinder + custom orchestration) to discover and triage internet-exposed assets weekly. Output: subdomain inventory drift, exposed services, expired certs, leaked secrets on GitHub, S3 misconfig. Service rate $1,800-3,000/month. AB7 doesn't take down infringing infra - we feed your DNS/AWS/GitHub admins. Calendly for an EASM 14-day pilot.

Yes - AB7 produces monthly VM reports formatted for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA auditors. Includes asset count, vuln count by severity, MTTR by severity, remediation rate, exception register, and trend graphs. Reports are delivered as PDF + Excel, signed by the AB7 lead engineer. Service add-on $400-700/month on top of VM ops. AB7 won't sign as your QSA/CPA - we feed evidence to your assessor. Email director@ab7solutions.com for a sample report.

Yes - AB7 runs CyberArk PAS (Vault + PVWA + CPM + PSM) and Delinea Secret Server / Privilege Manager. Daily ops: account onboarding, session recording review, password rotation policy, just-in-time elevation, breakglass access, audit reports. PAM engineer $3,000-4,000/month dedicated. AB7 isn't doing greenfield PAM architecture in 4 weeks - design + rollout is 12-20 weeks. We operate after rollout. Calendly for a PAM ops handover plan.

Yes - AB7 runs IGA programs using Sailpoint IdentityNow, Saviynt, or native tools (Entra ID Access Reviews, Okta Workflows). Quarterly: certification campaigns, manager attestation, orphan-account cleanup, SoD policy violation review, role-mining recommendations. IGA analyst $2,600-3,600/month dedicated. AB7 won't author your SoD policy from scratch - we operationalize one your GRC team owns. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com for an IGA SOW.

Yes - AB7 runs identity hygiene sweeps: stale users (>90 days no sign-in), orphan service principals, unused SSH keys, never-rotated AWS access keys, dormant IAM roles, and over-privileged break-glass accounts. Output: ranked clean-up backlog, ticket assignments, monthly progress. A one-time hygiene sweep + 6 months of follow-through runs $14-22K. AB7 won't bulk-disable accounts on day one - phased clean-up with rollback windows. Calendly to scope a hygiene sweep.

Yes - AB7 runs phishing-resistant MFA rollouts using Yubikey, Okta FastPass, Microsoft Authenticator passkeys, or Duo Verified Push. Scope: pilot group, registration drives, helpdesk training, fallback design, legacy-app exception register, executive briefings. A 250-user rollout is typically 6-8 weeks at $14-22K. AB7 won't ship hardware - your procurement does. We run the program. Calendly for a FIDO2 rollout plan.

Yes - AB7 white-labels L1/L2 helpdesk for 12+ MSPs in US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Agents use your PSA (ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, Atera), your RMM (NinjaOne, Datto RMM, N-able), your branding on emails/calls. Pricing: $1,400-2,000/month per dedicated agent or per-ticket ($6-10). AB7 has a written non-circumvent on every MSP MSA. Calendly for a 60-day white-label pilot.

Yes - AB7 runs 24/7 L1 helpdesk for 250-user shops with a 3-shift rotation: 2-3 agents day, 2 agents evening, 1-2 agents night. Total monthly cost ~$5,500-8,500 depending on after-hours volume. Includes Okta/Entra ID password reset, M365/Google Workspace, VPN, Zoom, Slack, basic Mac/Windows. AB7 won't replace your CTO - we handle Tier-1, escalate Tier-2/3 to your team. Calendly for a 24/7 helpdesk SOW.

Yes - AB7 has 40+ system administrators on bench: RHCSA/RHCE for Linux (Ubuntu/RHEL/Debian/CentOS Stream), MCSE/MCSA-equivalent for Windows Server (AD/DNS/DHCP/GPO/file services). Cloud-adjacent skills: Ansible, Terraform, PowerShell, Bash. Dedicated rate $1,800-2,800/month. AB7 won't run your kernel patches without change-control - all prod work goes through your CAB. Calendly for a SysAdmin shortlist.

Yes - AB7 runs Microsoft Intune (Windows + iOS + Android), Jamf Pro (Mac + iOS), Kandji (Mac), and Hexnode for unified endpoint management. Daily: enrollment, configuration profiles, app deployment, compliance policy, conditional access integration, autopilot/DEP/ABM, patch lifecycle. UEM admin $2,200-3,200/month. AB7 won't replace your IT director - we run MDM ops day-to-day. Calendly for an MDM posture review.

Yes - AB7 operates Veeam Backup for M365, Druva inSync, Spanning, AvePoint, and Acronis for SaaS backup. Daily: backup job health, restore testing, retention policy, ransomware-recovery drills, license/seat hygiene. Backup admin $1,800-2,400/month. AB7 won't sell licenses or do legal eDiscovery - we run backups and restore on request. Calendly for a SaaS-backup health check.

Yes - AB7 runs 24/7 NOC services with PRTG, SolarWinds, LogicMonitor, Auvik, or Datadog. Scope: device up/down, link saturation, BGP flaps, wireless degradation, ISP ticket coordination, change windows. NOC pod 24/7 $5,500-8,000/month for ~500 monitored devices. NOC and SOC are separate teams at AB7 - we don't conflate them. Calendly for a NOC scoping call.

AB7 fits the INR 3 lakh range for single-app web pentest with up to 60 endpoints, 1 user role tier, and 30-day retest window. Covers OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, IDOR, broken auth, SSRF, and OAuth/SAML flow attacks. Reports in CERT-In acceptable format.

Output: revised IR plan, after-action report, regulatory-ready evidence. Fee: $6,500–$11,000. Best done before SOC 2 Type II observation window opens. We don't replace BCP/DR testing — that's separately scoped. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com.

Yes — AB7's vCISO produces and presents quarterly board decks covering risk register, control maturity (NIST CSF/ISO), incident summary, regulatory updates, and budget asks. Two scheduled board attendances/year are bundled in Growth tier and above; additional appearances at $1,800/session including prep. Decks are board-counsel-reviewable. We don't sign reports as a fiduciary officer. Schedule a sample-deck walkthrough at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7's vCISO owns customer security questionnaires (CAIQ, SIG, custom), maintains your trust portal (Vanta Trust, SafeBase, Drata Trust), responds to enterprise diligence requests, and handles MSA/DPA security-clause negotiation. Bundled in Growth tier and above. Heavy questionnaire volume (50+/quarter) goes to a per-questionnaire add-on at $180–$350. We don't sign customer DPAs as a party — that's your General Counsel. Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7's vCISO writes the JD, screens candidates, runs technical interviews (cloud security, AppSec, IR), and onboards your first hire. We'll then transition program ownership over 60–90 days. Hiring support is bundled in Growth tier and above (up to 1 hire/year). Additional hires at $1,400/hire. We don't act as recruiters — you handle sourcing and offers. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com.

AB7's vCISO recommends, prioritizes, and negotiates security tooling (EDR, SIEM, GRC, IDP, vulnerability scanning) but final purchase authority remains with your CFO/CTO. We provide RFP scoring, vendor reference checks, and contract clause review. We refuse vendor-funded SPIFFs to keep recommendations honest. Budget development and CFO defense are bundled in Growth tier and above. Lock vCISO scoping at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

AB7 builds TPRM programs covering vendor inventory, tiering (critical/high/medium/low), inherent-risk scoring, security questionnaires (SIG/CAIQ), evidence collection, residual risk acceptance, and continuous monitoring (SecurityScorecard, BitSight, UpGuard). For 300 vendors: $14K–$24K build + $3,200/month managed ops. We don't accept residual risk on your behalf — that decision stays with risk owners. Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 fields TPRM analysts at $1,800/month (20 vendors/month review capacity) or $3,200/month (50 vendors/month). Includes questionnaire scoring, evidence validation, residual-risk write-ups, vendor follow-ups, and quarterly portfolio reports. Tools: any of Whistic, OneTrust, ProcessUnity, or your spreadsheet of choice. We don't communicate with vendors using your domain email — we use ours, copying you. Email director@ab7solutions.com.

AB7 sets up SecurityScorecard or BitSight for continuous external posture monitoring across your vendor portfolio. Includes alert triage workflows, threshold tuning, monthly portfolio reports, and reactive outreach when vendor scores degrade. Setup: $2,400; managed monthly: $1,800. Best paired with point-in-time questionnaires for full picture. We don't include the platform license — you procure direct. Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 manages inbound enterprise SIG/CAIQ/custom questionnaires for SaaS vendors. Pricing: $250 per standard SIG-Lite, $480 per full SIG, $180 per CAIQ, $350 per custom.

Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

AB7 implements secure SDLC programs aligned to OWASP SAMM v2 or BSIMM, covering threat modeling, secure design review, SAST/DAST/SCA/IaC scanning, security champions program, and pre-prod gates. 12-week implementation runs $14K–$24K depending on engineering org size. Quarterly maturity reassessment included. We don't accredit you against BSIMM — that's Synopsys's role. Email ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com.

Yes — AB7 designs and runs security champions programs: nominate 1 champion per 8–10 engineers, monthly training cadence (OWASP Top 10, threat modeling, secure-coding patterns), CTF challenges, and quarterly recognition. Build: $4,500; ongoing facilitation $1,400/month. Champions stay your engineers — we coach. We don't certify champions externally — internal recognition only. Book the kickoff at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 reviews IaC across Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and Bicep using Checkov, tfsec, Trivy, and manual review for logic flaws (overly permissive IAM, public S3, unencrypted RDS, weak network ACLs). Pricing: $3,800–$6,500 per repo or bundled into CI/CD setup. Findings pushed to PRs as comments. We don't auto-fix high-impact misconfigs — human review required. Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 provides L1/L2 triage for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and Intigriti programs: validate reports, deduplicate, assign CVSS, set bounty tier, and route to engineering. Pricing: $2,400/month (up to 30 reports), $4,200/month (up to 80). Includes researcher comms with same-day SLA. We don't set your reward table — you control payouts. We don't replace your VDP — we operate inside it. Book at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Arctic Wolf and Secureworks sell productized MDR with their own platform, ~$5-15K/month per 1,000 endpoints, locked SLAs, no platform choice. AB7 is the opposite: dedicated named analysts on YOUR SIEM/EDR (Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), $1.5-3.2K/analyst/month, full visibility into who is on shift. AB7 isn't right if you want a black-box service - we're right if you want a co-managed SOC. Compare line-items on a Calendly call.

Splunk wins on advanced analytics + ecosystem (high TCO). Sentinel wins if you're M365-heavy (cheap E5 logs, KQL learning curve). Elastic wins on cost and dev-friendliness (you DIY content). AB7 operates all three daily for clients - we won't push you toward a tool we resell because we don't resell SIEMs, we operate them. Decision is your business, ops cost from us is similar ($2.2-3.2K/month). Calendly for a 60-min SIEM-fit call.

AB7 typically prices 50–70% below tier-1 US/UK boutiques while delivering OWASP Top 10/ASVS-grade depth on web, API, mobile, cloud, and internal network. Trade-off: we don't compete on novel cryptographic research, embedded silicon attacks, or zero-day discovery — pick Bishop Fox, NCC Group, or Trail of Bits for those. AB7 fits 80% of mid-market SaaS pentest needs at startup-friendly economics. Talk at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Full-time US CISO TCO (salary + benefits + equity + recruiting) lands $280K–$420K. AB7 vCISO at Scale tier ($98K/year) covers 80% of strategy + program needs for 250-person SaaS, breaks even versus FTE around 600–800 employees or Series C+. Math flips toward FTE when you need on-the-ground physical security, M&A diligence, or 24/7 IR command presence. Run the comparison at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

SideChannel and Cynomi are mostly US-based with platform-anchored pricing ($6K–$15K/month). AB7 is India-based, human-centric (named senior CISO, not platform-led), and lands at $2.5K–$8.2K/month with similar deliverables. Trade-off: we don't offer a self-service GRC platform — we work inside Vanta/Drata/Secureframe instead. If you want platform + analyst bundled, Cynomi may suit. If you want a senior human CISO with analyst support, AB7 wins. Compare at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Outsourcing wins when your vendor portfolio is under 500, you don't yet have a full-time TPRM hire, or your in-house Security team is consumed by AppSec/SOC work. AB7 outsourced TPRM lands $22K–$58K/year all-in vs $130K–$170K for a US TPRM analyst FTE. Outsourcing flips disadvantageous around 1,000+ vendors or in regulated banks needing on-shore staff. Run the math at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Series B SaaS typically wins with Snyk (developer-first, good SCA + Code, easy CI integration) or Semgrep + Trivy (open-source heavy, lower cost). Checkmarx One suits regulated enterprises needing deep SAST + SCA + IaC; Veracode fits compliance-heavy verticals (finance, government) wanting binary scanning. AB7 implements all four and runs a 1-week vendor-fit POC for $1,800. We don't take vendor SPIFFs. Schedule the POC at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting or +1 321 341 7733.

Yes. Mohali is GMT+5:30, so an IST 1pm-9pm shift covers UK 8:30am-4:30pm cleanly. AB7 has 12+ active UK clients running this shift. Analysts are trained on UK GDPR alert nuances, NCSC reporting templates, and ICO 72-hour breach notification timelines. AB7 isn't ISO 27001-certified for every UK regulated tier - we operate under client ISMS. Ping ashok.benial@ab7solutions.com for a UK-shift SOC quote with 3 CVs.

AB7 runs an IST 5am-1pm shift = AEST 9:30am-5:30pm Sydney/Melbourne, supporting 8 Australian clients today. Analysts handle Essential Eight maturity reporting, ACSC threat advisories, and OAIC notifiable-data-breach workflows. SOC L1 cost remains ~AUD 2,300-3,300/month per analyst. AB7 won't claim 24/7 coverage from a single shift - true 24/7 needs 3 rotations. Book Calendly to scope a 1-shift or full 24/7 AEST package.

Yes — AB7 staffs a dedicated US-overlap shift (7am–4pm PT) for Series A clients. Daily Slack standups, Zoom check-ins, and same-day report turnarounds. 60+ US-headquartered clients run on this model. Onboarding handover takes 2 business days. We don't physically deploy testers stateside — engagements run remote, which 95% of US clients prefer for cost. Book a US-friendly slot at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting or +1 321 341 7733.

Yes — AB7's US-overlap shift (7am–4pm PT) plus India-resident shift (9am–6pm IST) gives effective 24-hour follow-the-sun for breach response. Hotline routing splits between +1 321 341 7733 and +91 98780 67778. One named lead coordinates handoff per shift to maintain continuity.

AB7 offers quarterly onsite visits to US clients for Scale tier and Enterprise vCISO retainers. Travel costs (airfare + lodging) are pass-through at cost. Visits typically run 3–5 days covering board prep, leadership offsites, customer escalations, and team mentoring. We don't relocate vCISOs to the US — engagements are remote-first with periodic onsite. Discuss travel cadence at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting or +1 321 341 7733.

Yes - AB7 runs SOC for several community banks and credit unions in the 200-1,500 endpoint range. We work to FFIEC CAT, GLBA Safeguards, and state-AG breach laws.

Discuss your patient-data scope at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

AB7 delivers HIPAA Security Rule 164.308(a)(5) compliant awareness training: PHI handling, password management, malware reporting, log-in monitoring, and BAA flow-down. Pricing: $2,400 setup + $14/user/year via KnowBe4 healthcare module. Includes annual completion attestation report for SOC 2/HIPAA auditors.

Yes — AB7 fields a healthcare-focused vCISO familiar with HIPAA Security/Privacy/Breach Notification, HITRUST e1/i1, and SOC 2 unified controls. Engagement runs $4,800–$7,800/month for the dual-track build. Includes BAA portfolio management and OCR-readiness. We don't act as your designated HIPAA Privacy Officer — that should be in-house given clinical-decision proximity. Email director@ab7solutions.com.

Yes - AB7 has 12+ Splunk Power User and Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Admins on bench. They write SPL, build correlation searches, tune ES notable events, manage data models (CIM), and own asset/identity lookups. EST overlap shift (IST 6pm-2am) gives 8 hours of business-day coverage. Rate: $1,800-2,800/month dedicated. AB7 doesn't do Splunk Cloud architecture redesigns - we run/operate. Calendly for a Splunk skills test with three candidates.

AB7 runs Microsoft Sentinel + KQL operations for ~25 active clients. Daily work: KQL detection authoring, Analytics Rule tuning, Workbook creation, automation via Logic Apps/SOAR, data-connector hygiene, cost optimization on Log Analytics ingestion. Lead engineers hold SC-200 and AZ-500. Engagement options: $35-50/hour for tuning sprints, or $2,800-3,800/month dedicated.

Also fluent in Drata, Secureframe, Sprinto, Hyperproof, and Tugboat Logic. We don't resell Vanta licenses — you procure direct. Discuss your stack at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

For 200-person SaaS, we typically recommend Drata or Vanta over AuditBoard — AuditBoard fits 1,000+ headcount with formal IA functions. OneTrust shines for privacy-heavy GDPR/CCPA workloads; ServiceNow GRC suits ITSM-mature enterprises. AB7 implements all four and we'll do an unbiased fit-scoring workshop ($1,800, 1 week). We don't earn commission from any vendor — recommendations are stack-driven. Schedule the workshop at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

AB7 is heavily manual-first. Burp Suite Pro and OWASP ZAP are starting points; 70%+ of high-impact findings come from manual logic testing, custom Burp extensions, and chained-vulnerability exploitation our automated scanners miss. We never deliver Nessus or Acunetix output as a 'pentest' — that's a vulnerability scan and we'll quote it separately at $1,200–$2,400. Discuss methodology at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 administers KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, and CybSafe campaigns: phishing simulations, training assignments, KCM-style policy attestation, board-ready phishprone metrics. Includes content tailoring for India/EU/US workforces and quarterly executive reports. Fee: $1,400–$2,400/month for under 500 users (excludes platform license).

Hoxhunt edges on adaptive phishing and behavior change for 200+ user orgs; KnowBe4 wins on content depth and compliance reporting; CybSafe shines for cultural-program emphasis. AB7 admins all three and runs vendor-fit workshops ($1,200, 1 week) before commit. We don't earn commission from any vendor. We'll match the platform to your headcount, geography, and SOC 2/ISO evidence needs. Book the workshop at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 deploys and tunes CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne Singularity, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Trellix.

We don't resell EDR licenses — procure direct. Book deployment at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

For 200-vendor mid-market: Whistic shines on vendor-side experience and questionnaire automation; OneTrust suits orgs with privacy-heavy needs; ProcessUnity fits highly regulated finance/healthcare. AB7 implements all three. Vendor-fit workshop: $1,400. We don't recommend hand-built spreadsheet TPRM for 200+ vendors — at that scale you need a platform. Book the workshop at https://calendly.com/ashok-benial/meeting.

Yes — AB7 integrates Snyk (SCA + Code), Trivy (container/IaC), Checkmarx One (SAST + SCA), Veracode, Semgrep, GitLeaks, GitGuardian, Aqua, and Prisma Cloud into your CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins).
