The problem
Security alerts are easy. Knowing which ones matter isn't.
Most organisations are not short of security data. They are short of the time, context and expertise required to turn it into decisions.
What arrives every day
Thousands of events, across every tool you own, with no shared context between them:
- Suspicious logins
- Endpoint detections
- Vulnerability notifications
- Firewall events
- Identity anomalies
- Phishing reports
- PowerShell activity
- Lateral movement indicators
Almost all of it is legitimate activity. Establishing which part isn't is the entire job — and it has to happen before anything else can.
What most teams don't have
- Analysts available outside business hours
- Threat hunters
- Detection engineers
- Incident responders
- SIEM and log-analytics expertise
Your firewall doesn't investigate an identity attack. Your endpoint agent doesn't reconstruct the full attack path. Your SIEM doesn't decide whether an alert requires immediate action. A security team does. Our managed SOC provides that team.
Primary service — Managed SOC / MDR
A security operations team without the cost of building one.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) delivers the capability an internal security operations centre would provide — telemetry, detection, investigation and response — as an operated service scoped to your environment.
We Monitor. We Inform You.
Your endpoints, servers, identities, cloud workloads and network are watched continuously — and the moment something matters, you hear it from us.
Alert Triage
Separating the handful of events that require action from the thousands that do not.
Threat Detection
Detection content mapped to real attacker behaviour, not just signatures.
Investigation
Analysts reconstruct what happened, in what order, and what it touched.
Incident Response
Confirmed incidents are classified, escalated and driven to containment.
Threat Hunting
Proactively looking for what automated detection did not flag.
Direct Notification
Confirmed incidents reach a human on your side by phone, WhatsApp or email — whichever route you nominate.
Security Reporting
Regular reporting written to be read by both engineers and executives.
Delivered as one service
Scoped to your estate, your risk and your operating hours — not sold as a fixed bundle you partly need.
Building it yourself
- SIEM licensing and engineering
- EDR tooling and tuning
- Log storage and retention
- Detection engineering capability
- Analyst headcount across shifts
- Incident response expertise
- Recruitment, training and retention
Every line is a hiring decision, a licence, or both — and none of them produce security on their own.
Managed security operations
- Security telemetry collection
- Detection content, maintained
- Alert triage and noise reduction
- Human analyst investigation
- Coordinated incident response
- Threat hunting
- Offensive validation of the result
One engagement, one accountable partner, and an outcome you can actually measure.
How the SOC is built
From your estate to an incident you can act on.
Security telemetry moves through collection, analytics and detection before it ever reaches an analyst — and nothing reaches you until a human has established what it means.
Scroll the diagram horizontally to see the full flow.
Collected, not scraped
Telemetry is collected from sources you approve, over encrypted channels, at a depth agreed during scoping.
Correlated across sources
An identity event, an endpoint detection and a firewall log describe one story. They are only useful together.
Improved continuously
What incidents and offensive engagements reveal becomes new detection content, so coverage compounds.
Source types shown describe the customer-side systems telemetry is collected from. They do not imply vendor partnerships, certifications or endorsements.
What reaches you
Actionable incidents, not alert noise.
Everything between a raw event and your inbox is our work, not yours. By the time you are contacted, the activity has been detected, reviewed by an analyst, investigated and classified.
An alert-forwarding service moves the problem to you with extra steps. Your team still has to establish context, still has to investigate, and still has to decide — only now with less information than the tool that raised it.
A managed SOC absorbs that work. You receive a classified incident with evidence and a recommended course of action.

How your SOC works
Six steps from connection to continuous improvement.
Onboarding is a defined sequence, not an open-ended project. Each step has an owner, an output and an agreed definition of done.
- 01
Connect
Security agents and log sources are connected to the monitoring platform. We agree scope, asset criticality and escalation paths before anything goes live.
- 02
Collect
Telemetry is collected from endpoints, servers, identity providers, applications and network infrastructure, then normalised into a common event model.
- 03
Detect
Detection rules and security analytics identify suspicious activity — authentication anomalies, privilege changes, malware behaviour, persistence and lateral movement.
- 04
Investigate
Analysts correlate related events, establish what actually happened, and determine whether the activity is benign, suspicious or a confirmed incident.
- 05
Respond
Confirmed incidents are classified and escalated through the agreed path, with containment and remediation actions coordinated against pre-approved playbooks.
- 06
Improve
Findings from incidents, hunts and offensive assessments feed back into detection content, so coverage improves against the attacks that matter to you.
The differentiator
We don't just defend. We test the defence.
Most organisations can list the security controls they own. Very few can tell you whether those controls would actually catch an attacker.
You may already have
- SIEM
- EDR
- Firewall
- MFA
- Security policies
- Backups
But the question that matters is simpler: would your security team detect a real attack?
Because we run controlled offensive assessments as well as the SOC, that question gets an evidenced answer — and every gap it exposes becomes detection content rather than a finding in a report nobody actions.
Offensive security
Find the path an attacker would take — before they do.
Scoped, authorised testing that establishes what is actually reachable, what it leads to, and what the business impact would be. Manual, chained and evidenced — not a scanner export.
External Network Penetration Testing
Establish what an attacker can reach, enumerate and exploit from the internet, before someone else does it uninvited.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Assume a foothold exists. Establish how far it goes, how fast, and what it reaches.
Web Application Security Testing
Manual, business-logic-aware testing of your applications — not a scanner report with a cover page.
API Security Testing
APIs fail differently to web front-ends. They are tested as their own attack surface.
Active Directory Security Assessment
Active Directory is the control plane of most enterprise networks. It is assessed as such.
Cloud Security Assessment
Cloud breaches are rarely exploits. They are identity, configuration and trust-relationship failures.
Red & Purple Team Exercises
Realistic attack simulation used to validate whether detection and response actually work under pressure.
Testing that feeds the SOC
Findings from every engagement become detection content — so a weakness identified once is monitored for from then on.
Request a penetration testSecurity assurance
Know where your controls actually stand.
Independent assessment of what is implemented, what is documented, and the distance between the two — with a remediation plan sequenced by risk reduction rather than by framework order.
Readiness and assessment support
We prepare organisations for certification and customer audits, and assess controls independently. We are not a certification body — formal certification is issued by an accredited certification body, and we say so plainly rather than blurring the line.
Cybersecurity Gap Assessment
A structured view of the distance between your current controls and where they need to be.
Security Audit
Independent review of how security is actually implemented and operated — not how it is documented.
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
Risk expressed in terms of business impact and likelihood, so leadership can make funding decisions.
ISO 27001 Readiness Support
Preparation and assessment support ahead of formal certification by an accredited certification body.
Security Policy Assessment
Policies that reflect how the organisation actually operates, and are enforceable in practice.
Vulnerability Assessment
Broad, repeatable identification and prioritisation of known weaknesses across your estate.
Vendor & Third-Party Security Assessment
Your suppliers' security becomes your exposure. Assess it before it becomes your incident.
PTA CTDISR Readiness
Preparation for the Critical Telecom Data and Infrastructure Security Regulations that PTA licensees are held to.
SBP ETGRM & Financial Sector Assessment
Control assessment against State Bank of Pakistan expectations for banks, MFBs, DFIs and payment sector entities.

Why us
Both sides of the same problem, under one roof.
Defending an environment and attacking one require the same knowledge applied in opposite directions. Keeping both in one organisation is what makes each of them better.
Offensive Security Expertise
Our detection engineering is written by people who spend the rest of their time breaking into environments. We understand how compromises actually happen, not how they are described in vendor documentation.
Security Operations
Continuous monitoring, investigation and response — the operational discipline that turns security tooling into an actual defensive capability.
Practical Security
Recommendations are scoped to what your organisation can realistically implement, sequenced by risk reduction per unit of effort.
Human-Led
Automation handles scale and correlation. Judgement calls about whether something is an incident stay with an analyst.
Continuous Improvement
Every incident, hunt and offensive engagement produces detection content. Coverage compounds over time rather than going stale.
One Security Partner
Monitoring, testing and assurance under one organisation, so findings from one discipline immediately strengthen the others.

Pricing
Enterprise-grade security operations, priced for Pakistani organisations.
Billed in rupees, scoped to what you actually run. No dollar-denominated surprises at renewal, and no rate card that ignores your environment.
Managed SOC / MDR
per endpoint / server
Final pricing depends on estate size, coverage hours and environment complexity, and is confirmed in writing after scoping.
What that covers
- Telemetry collection from your endpoints, servers, identities and cloud
- Detection content, written and maintained against real attacker techniques
- Alert triage — you never receive the raw queue
- Analyst-led investigation with a reconstructed attack timeline
- Incident notification with evidence and a recommended course of action
- Response coordination within the authority you pre-approve
- Regular security reporting for both engineers and leadership
What moves the number
Stated openly, so nothing appears for the first time in a proposal.
- Estate size
- Number of endpoints, servers and identities actually in scope — not a headcount-based band.
- Coverage hours
- Business hours, extended hours or continuous coverage, including 24/7 options.
- Environment complexity
- Number and type of telemetry sources, and how much normalisation they require.
- Response authority
- Whether we are pre-authorised to contain, or escalate only.
- Compliance obligations
- Evidence and reporting requirements from PTA, SBP, SECP or your customers.
- Engagement mix
- Whether monitoring is combined with penetration testing or assurance work.
Scoped before quoted
We establish what you run and where the risk sits before quoting. A number produced before that is a guess with a price attached.
Priced in rupees
Billing in PKR, so your costs do not move with the exchange rate. No dollar-denominated surprises at renewal.
No padding
We will tell you when a smaller engagement answers your question — including when the honest answer is that you do not need us yet.
Penetration testing and security assurance engagements are priced per engagement rather than per endpoint, because they are scoped by what is being tested and how deeply — not by how many machines you own. Tell us what you need assessed and you will get a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Service levels
Scoped to your requirements, agreed in writing.
We don't publish a headline response time, because a number set before anyone has seen your environment isn't a commitment — it's a marketing figure. Service levels are defined against the dimensions below and written into the agreement.
Monitoring Coverage
Which systems, identities and environments are in scope, and at what depth.
Response Requirements
Target acknowledgement and escalation timelines for each severity level.
Operating Hours
Business-hours, extended-hours or continuous coverage, including 24/7 options.
Business Criticality
Which assets and processes justify the fastest response, and which do not.
Organisation Size
Endpoint and server counts, user population and rate of change.
Response Authority
Which containment actions we are pre-authorised to take on your behalf.
Coverage options include 24/7, scoped during onboarding.
Insights
Practical security writing, not vendor content.
Questions
Straight answers.
If something here is unclear, ask — a scoping conversation costs you nothing.
Managed Detection and Response is a service where an external security team collects security telemetry from your environment, detects suspicious activity, investigates it, and tells you directly when something requires action. It provides the operational capability of a security operations centre without your organisation building and staffing one.
Managed SOC starts from Rs 10,000 per endpoint or server. Final pricing depends on how many systems are actually in scope, the coverage hours you need, how complex your environment is, and whether monitoring is combined with penetration testing or assurance work. We scope before quoting and confirm pricing in writing.
Monitoring runs continuously across the systems in scope. When activity is confirmed as a genuine threat, we contact you directly on the channel you nominate during onboarding — phone, WhatsApp or email — with what happened, what it affected, how urgent it is and what we recommend. You do not have to watch a dashboard to find out.
Those products generate detections. They do not investigate them, decide whether an alert matters, reconstruct an attack timeline, or call you when it counts. A managed SOC provides the analysts and process that turn tooling output into decisions and actions.
Monitoring coverage is scoped to your requirements, including 24/7 options. Coverage hours, response targets and escalation paths are agreed during scoping rather than sold as a fixed package.
Yes — as readiness and assessment support. We perform gap assessment against PTA CTDISR control areas, SBP ETGRM expectations, SECP requirements and ISO/IEC 27001, help you close the gaps, and prepare your evidence. Note that the mandatory CTDISR compliance audit must be carried out by a PTA-approved auditor, and ISO 27001 certification is issued by an accredited certification body — we are neither, and we say so upfront.
No. The service is scoped by environment size and risk, which is precisely why organisations that cannot justify their own security team use it. Small and mid-sized organisations running Microsoft 365, Active Directory or Entra ID, Windows endpoints and servers are a core part of who this is built for.
Detection content is only as good as the understanding of the attacks it is meant to catch. Because the same team performs penetration testing and Active Directory assessments, detection logic is written against techniques observed in real engagements, and monitoring gaps found during testing feed directly back into detection.
