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 |
|---|---|
| Standalone EDR | £1,800/yr |
| Managed firewall | £3,600/yr |
| Annual pen test | £4,500/yr |
| Awareness training | £500/yr |
| Vulnerability scanning | £2,400/yr |
| DLP | £1,060/yr |
| Dark web monitoring | £600/yr |
| Cyber Essentials | £3,200/yr |
| Cyber Liability Insurance | £500/yr |
| Your current piecemeal security spend | £18,160/yr |
| SOC in a Box — Medium (50 assets) | £7,200/yr |
| Your annual saving | £10,960/yr |
