SOC as a service and managed security in Nairobi
Security incidents often go undetected for weeks when logs and alerts are not actively monitored. APOPS Assurance provides round-the-clock monitoring, distinguishes genuine threats from routine activity and responds with your team when an incident occurs, without the cost of building an in-house security operations centre.
What is included
- 24/7 monitoring of firewalls, servers, endpoints, Microsoft 365 and cloud accounts
- Alerts triaged by an analyst, so that only relevant incidents are escalated to you
- Detection of suspicious sign-ins, malware, data leaving the network and unusual admin activity
- Incident response: containment steps with your team, then investigation and recovery
- Patch and vulnerability tracking with agreed timelines
- Monthly reports and a quarterly review in plain language for management
How we start
- A short onboarding review of your systems, accounts and backups
- Connecting your logs and endpoints to our monitoring, with your approval
- Agreeing who we call, when, and what we may do on your behalf in an emergency
- A tuning period to align detection rules with your normal operations
Your data stays under control
Monitoring is set up with least privilege and your written approval, access is logged, and log data is handled in line with the Data Protection Act, 2019. You retain full visibility of the monitoring data.

Frequently asked questions
What is SOC as a service?
A security operations centre (SOC) is a team that monitors and responds to threats around the clock. SOC as a service gives you that team and its tools on a monthly plan, instead of hiring and equipping your own.
Do we need our own security team?
No. We work with your IT function, in-house or outsourced, and provide clear instructions whenever action is required.
How are incidents handled outside business hours?
Critical alerts are handled at once: we follow the agreed plan, contact your named people, and can isolate an affected device if you have authorised it.
Is it only for large companies?
No. Plans are sized by the number of users, servers and cloud accounts, so SACCOs, schools, hospitals and growing businesses can afford continuous monitoring.
