We built SOC in a Box because
small businesses deserved better.
We are a CREST-certified security operations company based in the UK. Our team protects MoD supply chain contractors, regulated financial firms, and healthcare providers — and in 2025 we packaged eight years of that experience into a single managed service that any small business can afford.
We got tired of arriving
after the breach.
Our incident response team spent years being called in when it was already too late. A GP surgery in Cambridgeshire. A law firm in the South East. A multi-academy trust in the Midlands. Over and over, the same conversation: the breach had been undetected for weeks, and the business was now facing regulatory fines, client losses, and recovery costs they couldn't absorb.
The question we kept asking was: why didn't you have monitoring in place? The answer was always the same — they had been told they were too small, too cheap, or too much trouble for a proper Security Operations Centre.
In 2025, we decided to solve that. SOC in a Box takes the same SOC365 platform we use to protect enterprise clients and packages it for businesses with 10 to 100 endpoints — delivered in five days, for less than most pay for their piecemeal security tools.
The cybersecurity industry has spent years telling SMBs they don’t qualify for a proper SOC. We decided to prove that wrong.Cyber Defence Team
Eight years of building
before we launched.
SOC in a Box is new. The technology, the team, and the detection engine behind it are not. Every capability in the service is proven in production at enterprise scale before it was offered to SMBs.
Not just claimed.
Independently verified.
The commitments we make
to every client.
Named analyst, always
Every client has a named analyst — not a rotating helpdesk or anonymous ticket queue. A person who knows your network by name.
No lock-in
Cancel anytime. No exit fees, no minimum terms beyond the current month. We keep clients by delivering value, not by trapping them.
Same platform, every client
SOC in a Box runs on the same SOC365 platform as our enterprise clients. No stripped-down version, no consumer-grade tools dressed up.
Radical transparency
Monthly Confidence Score reports tell you exactly what was detected, what was handled, and whether your security posture is improving.
Security your clients,
insurers, and board can see.
The Cyber Essentials badge, the Confidence Score, the named analyst relationship — every element of SOC in a Box is designed to make your security posture visible, not just real.
When a client asks whether you take data protection seriously, you don’t say “yes.” You show them the score. When your insurer asks what monitoring you have in place, you send the monthly report. When a regulator investigates, you hand over the incident logs.
For professional services firms — law practices, accountancies, IFAs, healthcare providers — the ability to prove your security posture is not just a compliance requirement. It is a competitive differentiator. Provably protected organisations win contracts, retain clients, and command premium fees that their unprotected competitors cannot.
We handle thousands of patient records across three sites and our old antivirus wasn’t giving us any visibility. Within a week of switching to SOC in a Box, our analyst flagged an unauthorised remote-access tool on a reception PC that had been there for months. The peace of mind alone is worth the investment.Practice Manager, 3-site GP surgery group, West Midlands
