Attackers do not keep office hours, and most breaches now start with legitimate credentials rather than an exploit. This is a run service — monitoring, detection, containment and the evidence trail — rather than a report that recommends you buy tools.
SOC-as-a-service: round-the-clock triage and containment run by analysts, without your own shift rota.
SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR — controls mapped, evidence maintained and reporting kept current.
Plus ISO 9001 certified and CMMI appraised. The SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress, not complete.
India, US, EU or UAE, chosen at contract time — and data does not leave the region you pick.
Appsierra runs security operations day to day: managed detection and response that correlates signals across endpoints, network, identity and cloud, separates real threats from noise, and actively contains incidents — isolating hosts, revoking sessions, stopping spread — rather than handing you a queue of alerts. A SOC as a service gives round-the-clock monitoring, triage and response without funding the headcount, tooling licences and shift rota that standing one up normally takes.
On the build side, application security is embedded rather than periodic: static and dynamic analysis in your pipeline, dependency review, and findings triaged so developers fix what actually matters. Cloud security posture management continuously assesses accounts against secure baselines and flags risky settings and exposed resources. Identity and access work enforces least privilege, multi-factor authentication and sensible access reviews, and monitors for suspicious sign-ins and privilege escalation — because a compromised account is now the most common route in.
Vulnerability management is where most programmes drown, and the discipline is prioritisation rather than scanning: regular scanning across assets, findings ranked by real exploitability and business impact, and remediation tracked to closure. Compliance support maps your controls to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR and maintains the monitoring and evidence those audits require, so compliance becomes a by-product of running security well rather than an annual scramble.
Nine capabilities, grouped by whether they watch, harden or prove.
Signals correlated across endpoints, network, identity and cloud, real threats separated from noise, and incidents actively contained — hosts isolated, sessions revoked, spread stopped. Not an alert queue with your name on it.
Static and dynamic analysis wired into CI, dependency review, and findings triaged so developers fix what matters. It runs alongside the quality practice, treating security as part of code quality rather than a gate at the end.
Cloud accounts assessed continuously against secure baselines, with risky settings and exposed resources flagged and remediated — kept in step with the infrastructure work as the estate grows.
Finding vulnerabilities is easy; prioritising them is the hard part. Regular scanning across assets, ranked by real exploitability and business impact, with remediation tracked to closure rather than to a ticket being opened.
Least privilege, multi-factor authentication and access reviews, with monitoring for suspicious sign-ins and privilege escalation — because most attacks now abuse legitimate credentials rather than break something.
Contain, investigate root cause, eradicate the foothold, restore, then a clear post-incident review. Alongside it, controls mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR with the monitoring and evidence those audits require kept current.
A managed service has a different rhythm from a project: it starts with visibility and never really stops.
What assets exist, what is exposed, where identity is weak, and what is already being logged. Most estates discover in this step that the answer to at least one of those is "we are not sure".
Cloud accounts assessed against secure baselines, vulnerabilities ranked by real exploitability and business impact rather than by CVSS alone, and a remediation order your team can actually work through.
Detections tuned to the threats targeting your industry and enriched with threat intelligence — known indicators, attacker techniques, emerging vulnerabilities — rather than generic rules that page someone at three in the morning for nothing.
Containment first, then investigation, eradication and restoration, followed by a post-incident review that produces a change rather than a document. Response is embedded in your workflow, which is what shortens recovery time.
Control mapping, evidence collection and reporting kept current, so an audit or a customer security questionnaire is answered from what you already have rather than assembled in a fortnight.
The industries where this is bought first are the ones where a breach is also a regulatory event.
High-value targets under heavy regulation: continuous monitoring, fraud-relevant detections, application security across payment flows, and the compliance evidence auditors and regulators expect.
Where security is part of the product and a prerequisite for enterprise deals. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness means answering security questionnaires with evidence instead of promises.
Patient data demanding both confidentiality and availability, with access controls, vulnerability management and continuous compliance rather than an annual assessment.
Account takeover and card-skimming pressure at retail; widened attack surface across connected operations and supply chains; and sprawling enterprise estates that need consistent coverage complementing an in-house team rather than replacing it.
What we claim, precisely — this is the service where imprecision is most expensive.
Monitoring tells you something happened. MDR correlates signals across endpoints, network, identity and cloud, separates real threats from noise, and actively contains the incident — isolating hosts, revoking sessions, stopping spread — rather than handing you an alert to triage yourself.
Yes, and that is the common case in larger estates. The managed service brings continuous monitoring, identity security and compliance reporting to environments an in-house team cannot cover around the clock, complementing them rather than replacing them.
No — the SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress, and the controls it covers are already in place: role-based access, audit trails and governed change management. ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 are certified, CMMI is appraised, and QCI certification covers the delivery organisation.
By real exploitability and business impact, not by severity score alone. A high-severity finding on an unreachable internal service ranks below a medium one on an internet-facing authentication path, and remediation is tracked to closure rather than to acknowledgement.
Yes. We map your controls to the framework, maintain the monitoring and evidence the audit requires, and keep reporting current — so compliance is a by-product of running security well rather than an annual scramble before the auditor arrives.
India, the US, the EU or the UAE, chosen at contract time, and it does not leave that region. A data-processing agreement, sub-processor list, retention schedules and deletion workflows are ready to sign.
