Approach
A Methodology Auditors Recognise - And Operators Can Run.
From first assessment to ongoing SOC operations, every step produces evidence, ownership, and measurable risk reduction.
Method
The Operating Rhythm
Four stages. No black boxes.
Assess
Map assets, threats, compliance obligations, and operational reality - not a template checklist.

How The Rhythm Is Actually Run
Tooling
We integrate best-of-breed detection, identity, and network platforms - selected for your stack, not ours. Prefer what you already own when it meets the control bar.
Reporting cadence
Weekly operational digests for technical leads, monthly executive summaries for leadership, and on-demand incident reports with timeline, impact, and remediation.
SLAs
Published response and containment targets with named escalation paths. Availability and detection coverage measured - not assumed.
Service levels
What We Commit To In Writing
Targets published up front, measured monthly, and reported with the evidence behind them.
| Commitment | Target | Accountable |
|---|---|---|
| Critical alert acknowledgement | ≤ 15 min | Duty SOC analyst |
| Median containment | 11 min | Incident lead |
| Monitoring availability | 99.98% | Platform team |
| Executive reporting | Monthly | Client assurance lead |
| Incident report delivery | ≤ 5 working days | Named security lead |
Indicative targets - final SLAs are agreed per engagement and documented in the service schedule.
