Compared with an MSSP
A security team that works every alert, at a fraction of the cost
Most mid-sized organizations that want round-the-clock monitoring today buy it from a managed security service provider. Here is how Wakefence ZeroSOC compares with a traditional one.
| Wakefence ZeroSOC | Traditional managed security service | |
|---|---|---|
| Which alerts | Every alert from your Microsoft security tools, at any hour. | Usually the high-severity alerts that reach a shared queue. |
| Depth | A full investigation per alert: evidence from your tools, competing explanations tested, a verdict with its reasoning. | Often a first-level check and a ticket that asks your team to investigate. |
| Speed | Under two minutes from alert to verdict; threats contained straight away within your boundaries. | Many providers commit only to loose SLAs, measured in hours. |
| Response | Contains threats with your Microsoft tools, asks you in Teams and calls when nobody answers. | Recommends actions for your team to carry out, or charges extra for response. |
| Your data | Stays in your tools. No raw telemetry is copied; only the working data of open Cases is kept, in your dedicated EU instance. | Logs are usually shipped to the provider's own platform. |
| Transparency | Every step on the record, built on an open framework and an open-source engine. | A monthly report; how verdicts are reached stays inside the provider. |
| Over time | Learns your environment with every Case, and the Advisor keeps improving your setup. | Depends on the analysts on shift and how long they stay. |
| Cost | A fraction of a managed service, the same features at every size. | Outsourced monitoring starts around €10,000 a year. |
NIS2
Accountability stays with you, so the evidence should too
Under NIS2 the board answers for how incidents are detected and handled, whoever does the monitoring. Wakefence ZeroSOC keeps every investigation, decision and action on the record in your own instance, so you can show what happened, when, and who decided.
What you can show
- Every alert, its investigation and its verdict.
- Who approved each action, and when.
- The timeline of a significant incident, ready for the 24-hour early warning.
- The configuration gaps found and how they were closed.
