Everything You Need in a Security Operations Centre
Aegis delivers a complete suite of SOC capabilities, each backed by experienced analysts and purpose-built technology.
Continuous Security Monitoring
Round-the-clock monitoring of your network, endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and applications. Our analysts correlate events across your entire infrastructure to detect threats in real time.
Advanced Threat Detection
Multi-layered detection combining signature analysis, behavioural analytics, machine learning models, and custom correlation rules tuned specifically for your environment and industry.
Incident Response and Containment
When a threat is confirmed, our team acts immediately to contain the incident, minimise damage, and begin remediation. You receive clear communication at every step from detection through resolution.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Our analysts do not wait for alerts. They actively search your environment for indicators of compromise, attacker footholds, and latent threats that may have evaded automated detection systems.
SIEM Deployment and Management
Full lifecycle management of your Security Information and Event Management platform, including deployment, configuration, rule tuning, content development, and ongoing performance optimisation.
Log Collection and Correlation
Centralised log ingestion, normalisation, and expert analysis across your entire infrastructure. We correlate events from firewalls, endpoints, identity systems, cloud platforms, and applications.
Threat Intelligence Integration
Real-time threat intelligence feeds from global sources integrated into our detection rules. Our analysts contextualise alerts with the latest intelligence on active campaigns and threat actors.
Compliance and Regulatory Reporting
Comprehensive reporting aligned with GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and other frameworks. Our reports simplify audits and demonstrate your security posture.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous vulnerability scanning and assessment integrated into the SOC workflow. Discovered vulnerabilities are prioritised by risk and fed directly into remediation tracking.
Security Posture Reviews
Regular assessments of your overall security posture, including configuration reviews, policy audits, and gap analysis against industry best practices and frameworks.
Red Teaming and Penetration Testing
Included in every Aegis engagement. Our offensive security team tests your defences through simulated attacks, ensuring your security controls work when it matters most.
Executive Reporting and Briefings
Board-ready reports and regular executive briefings that translate technical security data into business risk language. Keep leadership informed without overwhelming them with technical detail.

From Onboarding to Full Protection
We make the transition seamless. Our structured onboarding ensures you are fully protected from day one with minimal disruption to your operations.
Discovery and Scoping

Integration and Deployment
We deploy sensors, configure log sources, integrate with your existing security tools, and establish secure connectivity between your environment and the Aegis platform.
Baseline and Tuning
Our analysts establish behavioural baselines for your environment, tune detection rules to reduce noise, and develop custom correlation content for your specific threat landscape.
Continuous Operations
24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, incident response, regular reporting, and ongoing optimisation. Your security posture is continuously strengthened and adapted to evolving threats.
More Than Just Monitoring
Most managed SOC providers stop at monitoring and alerting. Aegis goes further by including proactive security services that no other SOC provider offers as standard. Your security posture is not just watched; it is actively tested and strengthened on an ongoing basis.
Aegis clients also benefit from direct access to Cyber Citadel's full range of offensive security services, including penetration testing, source code review, and digital forensics. This integrated approach means the same team that detects a vulnerability can help you remediate it.
Regular assessments of your configuration, policies, and controls against industry best practices
Simulated attacks by our offensive security team to validate your defences under real-world conditions
Continuous scanning and prioritised remediation guidance integrated into the SOC workflow
