What is a Managed SOC and what does ITTStar offer?

A Managed SOC (Security Operations Center) provides 24/7 continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. ITTStar delivers a scalable, intelligence-driven SOC model combining real-time monitoring, Risk-Based Alerting (RBA), and MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection to protect enterprises from evolving cyber threats.

How much did ITTStar reduce alert noise for Repay?

ITTStar reduced alert noise and false positives by 60% through the implementation of Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) and fine-tuned SIEM-based correlation rules, successfully mitigating analyst fatigue.

How did ITTStar improve incident response times for Repay?

ITTStar achieved a 45% reduction in Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by deploying a tiered SOC model (L1, L2, L3) and implementing SOP-driven incident response workflows.

What compliance standards does ITTStar's Managed SOC support?

ITTStar's Managed SOC supports ISO 27001 alignment (with SOC processes mapped to Annex A security controls) and NIS2 Directive (EU) readiness, with continuous monitoring, automated audit-ready reporting, and centralized compliance dashboards.

What is the phased SOC maturity approach ITTStar uses?

ITTStar follows a three-phase approach: Phase 1 – Stabilize (centralized log ingestion, baseline use case development, initial dashboards); Phase 2 – Optimize (Risk-Based Alerting, fine-tuned correlation rules, defined incident response workflows); Phase 3 – Transform (SOAR roadmap, threat intelligence, UEBA, proactive threat hunting, cloud and endpoint security expansion).
