The pattern we see
Most UK security teams are not short of alerts. They are short of certainty.
Three problems show up in every SOC discovery call we run. If any of these sound familiar, your current Managed SOC Services arrangement is leaking risk.
Alert fatigue buries real threats
✕
Your team chases hundreds of low-fidelity alerts every day. Real attacks slip through due to a lack of time to investigate every signal, and dwell times keep growing.
✓
Tuned detections + AI-assisted triage. Median false-positive rate under 8% within 90 days of onboarding.
You cannot see the 2 am activity
✕
Out-of-hours coverage relies on on-call rotas, missed alerts and slow escalation. Most breaches start when the UK office is empty, and dwell time costs scale fast.
✓
True 24/7/365 coverage from UK-shifted analysts. Median P1 acknowledgement under 4 minutes, day or night.
Compliance is a quarterly fire drill
✕
Compliance evidence packs eat weeks every audit. Without continuous monitoring, control attestation becomes guesswork, and ICO or FCA assessors will not accept it.
✓
Always-on compliance reporting. Audit-ready evidence packs generated monthly, on demand promptly.

What UK security leaders ask before signing.
What does a managed SOC do?
A managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) is an outsourced team that monitors, triages and responds to security alerts across your IT estate 24/7. Transputec’s managed SOC ingests logs from your endpoints, identity, network, cloud and SaaS platforms, correlates them with threat intelligence, validates every alert with a UK-based human analyst, and contains active threats under documented MITRE ATT&CK-aligned runbooks. For wider context, read our blog on Managed SOC Services for mid-sized businesses. Our practice aligns with the NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security framework.
What are your median detection and response times?
Our median time-to-detect for known TTPs is under 60 seconds. Median time-to-triage for P1 alerts is 4 minutes. Median time-to-contain a confirmed intrusion is 11 minutes. These numbers come from rolling 90-day SOC telemetry across our UK client estate, not vendor benchmarks. Each shift is staffed by senior UK analysts under the same SLA, every hour of every day. Read more on AI-powered threat detection solutions for SOC teams.
How much do Managed SOC Services cost in the UK?
UK Managed SOC Services are typically priced per-asset-per-month with bands by data volume and response SLA. Entry-tier monitoring for mid-market estates (1,000-5,000 endpoints) starts around £6 per endpoint per month for 8×5 cover, scaling to £12-18 per endpoint per month for full 24/7/365 senior-analyst cover with quarterly red-team exercises. Bespoke quotes are issued in the Statement of Work before contract signature, with no per-alert charges. For the wider threat-cost context, read our analysis of cyber threats facing UK businesses in 2026.
Do you provide compliance reporting for ICO, FCA, ISO 27001?
Yes. We generate monthly compliance reports for ICO incident notification, FCA operational resilience, ISO 27001 Annex A controls, Cyber Essentials Plus, NHS DSPT and PCI DSS. Evidence packs for audit are delivered promptly on request. See how this works in practice in our cybersecurity case study for the Strand Palace Hotel.
Can you operate inside our existing SIEM (Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar)?
Yes. We are tooling-agnostic. We operate inside your existing SIEM, Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar, Elastic, Chronicle or Sumo Logic, or we deploy ours if you do not have one. We bring our detection content library and tune it to your stack within the 21-day onboarding. See a real client example in our cyber security case study for WFS, and explore the wider Cyber Security Services pillar for how SOC integrates with our other capabilities.
How does SOC-as-a-Service compare to building an internal SOC?
Building an internal SOC requires three rotating shifts of UK-cleared L1/L2/L3 analysts (typical headcount 12 to 18), a SIEM platform with ingestion budget, detection-content engineering, threat-intel feeds, and a 24/7 facility. Run-cost lands at \xc2\xa31.2m to \xc2\xa32.4m a year for mid-market estates. SOC-as-a-Service bundles the same coverage as a per-endpoint or per-GB monthly fee with no recruitment, no rota management and no platform refresh cycles, typically 30 to 60% lower TCO over three years. We hold the analyst rota, the SIEM contract and the playbook library; you keep the strategy and the data. See the NCSC Incident Management guidance for what good looks like operationally.
