Overview

Managed SOC, MDR, Incident Response
& Threat Hunting

Four integrated defensive capabilities delivered by a single UK-based, CREST-accredited team. No offshore handoffs. No anonymous NOC.

Resilien by Precursor is our managed security service, delivered by the UK-based analysts in our Newcastle SOC. Our managed SOC and managed detection and response (MDR) capabilities bring together continuous monitoring, human investigation and agreed response actions from £900/month, with your final quote based on scope. Specialist incident response retainers and additional threat hunting can be scoped separately.

Building an in-house SOC is hugely expensive. SOC as a Service through Resilien delivers equivalent or greater coverage at a fraction of the cost, with CREST-accredited UK-based analysts, 200+ custom-built detection use cases, and no offshoring of work.

Offensive Findings Feed
Directly Into Detection.

Our penetration testers brief the SOC on live attack patterns. Vulnerabilities found in your pen test feed directly into detection rules. The SOC uses MITRE ATT&CK to map coverage. The offensive team tests that coverage. No other UK provider runs this closed-loop model from a single team.

Four Capabilities, One UK Team

Explore each service in detail. Every capability is delivered by the same CREST-accredited analysts from our Newcastle SOC facility.

Resilien Security Operations Centre (SOC)

From £900/month, scoped to your environment

If your cyber insurer, an auditor, or a client contract requires 24/7 security monitoring, this is what that means. Resilien Managed SOC monitors your agreed logs, network traffic, and cloud environments around the clock. When a confirmed threat is identified, a named analyst escalates immediately.

  • 24/7/365 UK-based analyst coverage
  • SIEM management and log ingestion: Microsoft, Sentinel and Elastic SIEMs
  • Compliance reporting for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, NIS2
  • No infrastructure investment required

Consider this: If your cyber insurer declines your renewal claim because you could not demonstrate continuous security monitoring was active at the time of the incident, policy exclusions for inadequate monitoring are increasingly common in 2026.

Resilien Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

From £900/month, scoped to your environment

Resilien MDR brings human investigation and response to your security tools. Precursor analysts monitor your Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, or CrowdStrike environment 24/7, investigating alerts and containing confirmed threats within your agreed response scope. Identity, network and cloud telemetry can be connected to build the wider picture.

  • Human analyst triage on every confirmed threat, 24/7/365
  • Threat containment under pre-agreed response permissions
  • Works with your existing EDR: no rip-and-replace required
  • Bring Your Own EDR or we deploy our recommended stack

Consider this: If your EDR fires a critical alert at 2 AM on a Bank Holiday weekend and nobody responds, the average dwell time for ransomware operators before payload deployment is 5 days: plenty of time to exfiltrate data before encryption begins.

Cyber Incident Response

Retainer & emergency call-outs available

Found encrypted files? Suspicious logins? Active threat actor behaviour? Call us now. CREST-accredited responders available 24/7. Retainer clients have a named incident commander on call. Emergency call-outs available without a prior retainer.

  • Named incident commander mobilised immediately for retained clients
  • Containment, digital forensics, and evidence preservation
  • ICO breach notification support within the 72-hour GDPR window
  • Ransomware negotiation and recovery coordination

Consider this: If you cannot identify and contain the attacker within 72 hours, under UK GDPR you must notify the ICO of a personal data breach. Missing that window carries fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover.

Threat Hunting

Quarterly engagements available

Attackers operating inside your network can have dwell times as low as 30 minutes before detonating ransomware. Threat hunting finds them before they find your backup servers. Our analysts run hypothesis-driven investigations using MITRE ATT&CK methodology against your environment.

  • MITRE ATT&CK-aligned hunting methodology
  • Credential abuse and lateral movement detection
  • C2 beaconing identification and dark web exposure checks
  • Available standalone or integrated with Managed SOC

Consider this: If an attacker is already inside your network, the time between initial compromise and ransomware deployment can be alarmingly short. Threat hunting finds them before they find your backup servers.

Why It Matters

What Does "24/7 Monitoring" Actually Require?

If your cyber insurer, ISO 27001 auditor, or a client contract has asked for "24/7 monitoring": here is what that means in practice.

Log Collection

Collection from your endpoints, firewall, and cloud environments including AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft 365.

SIEM Correlation

A SIEM platform to correlate those logs into meaningful alerts, filtering noise from signal.

Human Analyst Triage

Human analysts available around the clock to review and triage those alerts. Automated tools alone do not satisfy this requirement.

Defined Escalation Path

A documented, tested escalation procedure when a confirmed threat is identified. Including a named contact and response SLA.

Compliance Reporting

Reporting that demonstrates monitoring was active and effective. Required for ISO 27001 A.8.16, Cyber Essentials Plus, DORA, and NIS2.

Antivirus Does Not Count

Antivirus and a perimeter firewall do not satisfy the 24/7 monitoring requirement. Our Managed SOC provides all five components with compliance-ready reporting for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIS2.

Common Questions About Managed SOC, MDR & Incident Response

Common questions about this service, methodologies, and deliverables.

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is the team and operating function that monitors and manages security across your environment. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) describes the investigation and response capability, covering endpoints, identity, networks and cloud according to your scope. Resilien by Precursor brings both together as one managed security service, delivered by our UK-based SOC.
Yes. Firewalls and antivirus are preventative but static controls. They stop known threats matched against signatures. A Security Operations Centre (SOC) provides human analysis to detect attacks that bypass these controls entirely, such as credential theft, insider threats, and living-off-the-land attacks that use legitimate tools. Many cyber insurers and frameworks including ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus now explicitly require active 24/7 monitoring beyond perimeter controls.
For retained clients, a named CREST-accredited incident responder is mobilised immediately when the call comes in. Emergency call-outs are available without a prior retainer for organisations that have not pre-arranged IR services.
Yes. Our Cloud Security Monitoring service connects directly to your cloud APIs including AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft 365 Defender to detect misconfigurations, suspicious login activity, and data exfiltration attempts in real time. Cloud monitoring is included in our full Managed SOC service or available as a standalone engagement.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) combines continuous security monitoring with human investigation and response. Resilien by Precursor uses telemetry from your agreed endpoint, identity, network and cloud sources to investigate suspicious activity and contain confirmed threats within authorised response procedures. Existing tools such as Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne and CrowdStrike can be integrated into the service.
A managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) in the UK typically costs between £900 and £15,000 per month depending on the number of log sources, endpoints, and service scope. Resilien Managed SOC starts from £900 per month for 24/7 monitoring and UK-based analyst support, with the final quote based on your environment and coverage. An in-house equivalent of three analysts on rotating shifts costs upwards of £210,000 annually in salary alone before tooling costs.
SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) is an outsourced model where a specialist provider delivers the full Security Operations Centre function including people, process, and technology on a subscription basis. It removes the need to recruit, train, and retain a 24/7 analyst team in-house. Resilien Managed SOC is fully UK-based with no offshore components, covering log ingestion, SIEM management, alert triage and agreed response actions under a monthly agreement. Your quote sets out the scope and any specialist incident response support.
Isolate affected systems from the network immediately: disconnect but do not power down, as powering down destroys forensic evidence. Then call a CREST-accredited incident response firm. Do not attempt to investigate using potentially compromised systems. Preserve all available logs. Under UK GDPR, you have 72 hours to notify the ICO if personal data has been breached. Precursor's emergency incident response line is available 24/7.
