Managed SOC Providers: Verified Security Operations Data
DiscoverMSPs tracks providers offering Managed SOC and SOC-as-a-Service: outsourced 24/7 security operations centers that monitor, detect and respond to threats without the cost of building an in-house team. Filter our verified data by coverage model, company size and location.
What is a managed SOC provider?
A managed SOC (Security Operations Center) provider delivers outsourced, continuous security monitoring, threat detection and incident response, functioning as an organization’s security operations team without the cost of hiring, training and staffing an internal 24/7 SOC. Managed SOC services typically combine SIEM technology, human analysts and defined escalation processes to detect and respond to threats around the clock.
SOC-as-a-Service pricing typically runs $8 to $25 per endpoint per month for detection-and-response coverage, with platform-tied enterprise offerings running $25-$45 and basic alert forwarding available for $3-$9. For a mid-market company (100-500 endpoints, 24/7 monitoring, SIEM, incident response support), expect roughly $6,000-$18,000 per month. Enterprise coverage (500+ endpoints, full SOC-as-a-service, compliance documentation, threat hunting) typically runs $18,000-$45,000 per month. Coverage hours are the single biggest driver of cost, more hours require more analysts working more shifts.
Choosing a managed SOC provider
Headline per-endpoint pricing rarely tells the full story. Time-to-full-coverage, ongoing tuning labor and contract commitment terms vary significantly between providers, and can meaningfully change total cost of ownership.
- Time to reach full monitoring coverage in your environment
- Whether SIEM rule tuning requires your internal labor or is included
- Contract flexibility versus multi-year upfront commitments
- Named coverage hours (business hours vs. true 24/7)
- Vague “24/7” claims with no defined escalation SLA
- No transparency on what’s included at the headline price
- Long lock-in contracts with no trial period
- No named client references at a comparable scale
