You're already paying for a SOC.
You're just paying for a bad one.
Replace five security invoices with one. Get 24/7 analysts, eight years of AI-augmented detection, active cyber defence, data loss prevention, and cyber liability insurance — for less than you're spending now.
Stop buying security in pieces.
Start being actually protected.
The average SMB with 40 endpoints pays for standalone antivirus, a managed firewall, annual pen tests, vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, and Cyber Essentials certification — all from different vendors, none of them talking to each other.
SOC in a Box replaces or surpasses every one of those line items with a single service, watched 24/7 by a named analyst backed by eight years of AI. The maths aren't close.
| Item | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Your current piecemeal security spend | £18,160/yr |
| SOC in a Box — Medium (50 assets) | £7,200/yr |
| Your annual saving | £10,960/yr |
Figures based on a typical 40-person professional services firm (South East England, 2025 pricing survey).

The Confidence Score is a real-time security posture metric visible in your dashboard at all times. It quantifies your protection level across detection, coverage, certification, and incident history — in a single score your directors, insurer, and regulator can understand without a briefing.
For professional services firms, this matters beyond compliance. A provably protected law firm wins conveyancing clients that a competitor cannot. A certified accountancy practice retains audit clients that demand it. Your security posture is a competitive differentiator — when it is visible.

IncludedWe were told by three other vendors that we were “too small” for a managed SOC. Cyber Defence sent us a box. It arrived on a Tuesday. By Thursday, we were being monitored 24/7 by a named analyst who already knew our network. We've never slept better.Attias & Levy, Solicitors and Barristers, Gibraltar
Our trust has four academies and 85 endpoints spread across three counties. Before SOC in a Box, the IT manager was our entire cyber security strategy. Now we have 24/7 coverage, an analyst who knows our setup, and we passed Cyber Essentials on the first attempt.COO, 4-academy multi-academy trust, East Midlands
Eight years later, it’s the single best operational decision I’ve made as CEO. We spend less on SOC in a Box than we previously spent on the collection of tools it replaced — and we get immeasurably more.Richard Magnus, CEO, Northcott Global Solutions
