Build my SOC
Consultancy
We design and stand up the right SOC for your organisation — the tooling, processes, playbooks and people, sized to your risk and budget. You end up with a capability that fits, not an oversized platform you'll never use.
Managed security operations · Australia
Your Security Operations Centre — built, run, or backed by us.
We Build SOCs helps Australian SMBs and mid-market organisations detect and respond to threats around the clock — led by our analysts, powered by enterprise-grade tooling. Stand one up, hand it over, sharpen what you have, or extend your team. One goal: threats caught early and handled fast.
- 24/7 detection & response
- Australian-based analysts
- Vendor-agnostic · no lock-in
Four ways we work with you
However mature your security is, there's a way in.
Whether you're starting from scratch or scaling an established team, we meet you where you are.
Fully managed SOC
Done for you
We run it end-to-end. Round-the-clock monitoring, detection and response by our analysts — so you don't have to hire, roster or retain a security team. You get the outcomes of a 24/7 SOC without the headcount.
Improve my SOC
Assess & uplift
Already have a SOC? We assess it honestly and lift it — broader detection coverage, tuned alerts, faster response, and far less noise. Measurable gains against a clear baseline, not a rip-and-replace.
Hybrid SOC
Extend your team
Augment your existing team — extend coverage to 24/7, add capacity for peaks, build in redundancy, and bring specialist skills on tap. Your people stay in control; we fill the gaps that keep them up at night.
Not sure which fits? Book a briefing and we'll tell you straight.
What a SOC covers
The work behind "you're being watched over."
Whichever way we engage, this is the capability we bring or build.
24/7 monitoring
Eyes on your environment around the clock — nights, weekends and public holidays, when attacks most often land.
Detection & response
Real threats separated from noise, then contained fast — with clear actions, not just another alert in your inbox.
Threat hunting
Proactively looking for what slipped past the tools — the quiet, dwelling threats automated rules miss.
Incident response
When something's real, a clear plan and a steady hand — containment, eradication, recovery and a plain-English wash-up.
Log & SIEM management
The right logs collected, retained and correlated — tuned over time so signal goes up and cost stays down.
Reporting & posture
Monthly, plain-English reporting on what we saw, what we did, and where your posture is heading — ready for the board.
Our approach
We don't play LinkedIn cyber.
This is hand-to-hand combat with real adversaries — not buzzwords on a slide. We've built and run security operations for some of the biggest companies in Australia, so we know what actually works and what just looks good in a deck. We're intelligence-led: we watch what real attackers are doing and respond to their tradecraft. And we hate waste — every tool we deploy gets operationalised to the fullest, or it doesn't earn its place.
- Intelligence-led. We track live adversary tradecraft and tune detection to what attackers are actually doing — not generic rules in a box.
- Hand-to-hand, not headlines. No buzzword theatre. Operators who've gone toe-to-toe with adversaries and know how they move.
- Proven at the top end. We've built and run security operations for some of Australia's largest organisations — that hard-won experience comes with us.
- Zero waste. Every tool we put in gets operationalised to the fullest. If it isn't earning its keep, it doesn't belong in your stack.
- Built to keep running. Standing up a SOC is hard; keeping one sharp day after day is harder. That's the part we live in.
How we start
From first call to fully watched over.
Briefing & assessment
A short, no-pressure conversation about your environment, risks and what "good" looks like for you. We assess where you stand today.
Plan & proposal
A right-sized recommendation — which of the four engagements fits, what it covers, and exactly what you'll get. No surprises.
Onboard & tune
We connect to your environment, set up detection, and tune it to your business so alerts are meaningful from day one.
Monitor & improve
We watch, respond and report — and keep sharpening coverage as your business and the threat landscape change.
Built for Australian obligations
Security that stands up to scrutiny.
We align what we build and run to the frameworks Australian organisations are measured against — so when an auditor, insurer, customer or board asks, you have the evidence.
- ASD Essential Eight
- Privacy Act & Notifiable Data Breaches
- ISO/IEC 27001
- SMB1001
- APRA CPS 234
- Australian data handling
Integrity, always
We do not compromise on integrity or confidentiality.
We Build SOCs is a Dunn.International company, held to the strictest code of ethics and conduct. You're trusting us with your most sensitive systems and data — we treat that trust as the whole job, never a footnote.
