Bridging the Security Gap: How SOC Business Empowers Mid-Sized Companies

IT and data play a central role in every modern business. With emerging technologies like AI, hackers also have more ways to exploit vulnerabilities.

For IT managers, keeping track of everything can be challenging: multiple security tools generate information, but they don’t communicate with each other. The result? Silos, lack of visibility, and increased risk.

Before you continue reading, if you’re not familiar with what a Security Operations Center (SOC) does, be sure to check out our article: What is a SOC (Security Operations Center)?

Mid-sized companies often face 2 or more of the following challenges

  • They have already invested in multiple security solutions, but still lack central visibility.

  • They have limited budgets and internal resources to invest in Enterprise-grade SOC solutions.

  • They aim to comply with NIS2 and qualify for cyber insurance.

  • They face growing risks, while resources to tackle them do not scale at the same pace.

SOC Business bridges the gap

SOC Business is Easi’s Security Operations Center designed for companies that are still progressing in their security journey.

  • Who it’s for? Businesses that have invested in security and don’t have the resources for an Enterprise-focused SOC solution.

  • What does it do? Continuously monitors your IT environment, detects suspicious activity, and responds to threats.µ

  • How does it work? Powered by BlueHorn, our Belgian-developed XDR tool that centralizes and analyzes all security information.

How SOC Business works

SOC Business gives companies full visibility over their IT environment by centralizing and analyzing information from multiple sources. Our approach follows the five NIST pillars: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

1) Identify

All assets, users, and devices are mapped to know exactly what is in your environment.

2) Protect

Through regular follow-up meetings, our SOC experts provide advice to help customers strengthen their security posture and implement preventive measures, continuously improving their security environment.

3) Detect

Security alerts from existing tools are collected, network and endpoint logs are monitored, and activities in Microsoft 365 are analyzed to detect suspicious behavior early.

4) Respond

In case of malicious activity, our SOC experts take swift action by isolating devices, disabling users, or sending alerts. Threats are neutralized before they cause damage.

5) Recover

Having a SOC with Easi creates a direct bridge to our internal experts and CSIRT team. In case of an incident, our close collaboration and in-depth knowledge of your environment enable faster and more effective recovery actions, ensuring your business can get back on track quickly.

A simple analogy

Imagine your company as a city:

  • Bluehorn acts as the alarm system and surveillance cameras.

  • Our SOC experts are the city guards: they monitor the cameras, listen for alarms, and respond immediately to small incidents, like putting out a fire before it spreads.

  • And when a larger crisis occurs, they can quickly mobilize and inform the right emergency teams within Easi to help the city recover.

Why choose SOC Business?

  • Provides immediate visibility and insights into your environment.

  • Detects and responds to threats 24/7.

  • Simplifies security management without requiring the scale or complexity of enterprise-focused SOC services.

  • Serves as a practical step toward a mature security strategy and eventual Enterprise SOC service.

In short

SOC Business helps mid-sized companies gain visibility, reduce risks, and prepare for today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, while still growing in their IT maturity.
