Managed Security Services

Enterprise-Grade Security. Without the Enterprise Overhead.

Fully Managed SOC and Virtual CISO Services That Give Your Organisation the Security Function It Needs

Most Nigerian organisations face the same core security challenge: the threats they face are enterprise-scale, but the resources available to defend against them are not. Building a fully staffed, 24/7 security operations centre is expensive. Hiring a qualified Chief Information Security Officer costs more. Both are increasingly necessary, and both are out of reach for most mid-sized and growing organisations.

Our managed security services address that directly. We provide two complementary services: a fully managed SOC that monitors your environment around the clock, and a virtual CISO service that provides strategic security leadership at the executive level. Together, they give your organisation a complete security function at a fraction of what it would cost to build one internally.

MANAGED SOC SERVICES

24/7 Threat Monitoring, Detection, and Response

Cyber attacks happen at 2am on a Sunday. They happen during public holidays, on election days, and in the hours after a major data migration when everyone on the security team is exhausted. Attackers know this, and they plan accordingly. An organisation that monitors threats only during business hours is leaving its doors unlocked for the other 16 hours of every day.

We operate a purpose-built Cyber Defense Security Operations Centre (CSOC) that provides continuous, 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and response. We become your security operations team: watching, analysing, and acting on your behalf, around the clock.

THE CASE FOR MANAGED SOC

Building and running an in-house SOC costs an average of $2.86 million per year, before accounting for staff turnover in a market where skilled security analysts command premium salaries (Ponemon Institute). The global shortage of cybersecurity professionals exceeds 3.5 million unfilled positions, and in Nigeria that shortage is felt acutely. Most organisations simply cannot hire and retain an adequate in-house security team, regardless of intent.

Regulatory pressure is also increasing. The CBN Risk-Based Cybersecurity Framework requires financial institutions to demonstrate active monitoring and incident response capability. A managed SOC satisfies that requirement directly.

WHAT OUR MANAGED SOC DELIVERS

Managed SIEM-as-a-Service

We deploy, manage, and operate your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform: aggregating logs from across your environment, correlating events into actionable alerts, and tuning detection rules to reduce noise while maintaining high-fidelity threat detection.

Managed SOC-as-a-Service

Our analysts monitor your environment 24/7, investigating alerts, triaging incidents, and escalating genuine threats with enough context to support rapid decision-making. We provide the skilled eyes-on-glass that most organisations cannot sustain internally.

Managed NOC-as-a-Service

Beyond security, our Network Operations Centre provides continuous monitoring of network performance and availability, catching configuration errors, performance degradation, and connectivity issues before they affect operations.

Managed NextGen Firewall

We manage next-generation firewall infrastructure on your behalf: maintaining rulesets, applying updates, monitoring traffic, and responding to detected threats with the expertise to get genuine value from the technology.

Managed Web and Email Security

Phishing and malware still arrive predominantly through web browsing and email. We manage perimeter controls on both channels to filter threats before they reach your users.

Threat Hunting Services

Automated detection catches a lot. It does not catch everything. Our threat hunters proactively search your environment for indicators of compromise that evade conventional tools, looking for attacker presence before it becomes a confirmed incident.

Breach Management Services

When a breach occurs, our team responds immediately: containing the incident, preserving evidence, eradicating the threat, and restoring operations as quickly as possible.

Risk-Based Vulnerability Management

We continuously assess and prioritise vulnerabilities across your environment. Not just by technical severity but by actual exploitability and business impact, so remediation effort goes where it matters.

VIRTUAL CISO (vCISO) SERVICE

Executive-Level Security Leadership, On Demand

A good Chief Information Security Officer sits at the intersection of technology, risk, law, and business strategy. They translate technical threats into business language, build security programmes that support rather than obstruct operations, keep the board informed, manage regulators, and make the difficult calls when incidents occur.

Experienced CISOs are expensive and hard to find. Global average compensation exceeds the security budgets of most Nigerian SMEs, NGOs, and many government agencies. 

Our Virtual CISO service provides what a full-time CISO delivers, structured as a flexible engagement that fits your actual budget.

THE SECURITY LEADERSHIP GAP

There is also a practical risk to consider. When an incident occurs, organisations without a CISO tend to make costly early mistakes: mismanaging communications, failing to preserve evidence, and delaying notification to regulators and stakeholders in ways that compound both the damage and the liability.

WHAT OUR vCISO SERVICE DELIVERS

Security Programme Leadership

Our vCISO owns and drives your security programme: setting priorities, managing security staff and vendors, overseeing projects, and holding the team accountable for outcomes that matter.

Risk Management and Reporting

We translate your organisation's cybersecurity risk into business language, providing board-level reporting, executive briefings, and risk appetite frameworks that support informed governance.

Policy and Standards Development

We develop and maintain the security policies, standards, and procedures that underpin a mature security programme, ensuring they reflect your actual risk environment and regulatory obligations.

Regulatory Compliance Oversight

We manage compliance with applicable regulations including NDPR, CBN frameworks, NITDA guidelines, and sector-specific requirements, ensuring obligations are met and that regulators find your programme credible.

Vendor and Tool Management

Security technology decisions require strategic judgement as much as technical knowledge. Our vCISO advises on tool selection, manages vendor relationships, and ensures your technology investments deliver genuine security value.

Incident Command and Response

When a significant incident occurs, your vCISO leads the response: coordinating technical teams, managing communications with stakeholders and regulators, and making the critical decisions that limit damage and protect the organisation's position.

Board and Executive Education

We brief boards and executive teams on the cybersecurity risks relevant to their organisation, building security literacy at the level where it is most needed.

You are getting security professionals who know the Nigerian business environment, the regulatory landscape, and the specific threats facing organisations in this region, delivered through a managed service model that makes serious security operations accessible regardless of your organisation's size.
