SOCaaS
SOC as a ServiceDefinition
SOC as a Service is a subscription-based model where a third-party provider delivers full security operations center capabilities — monitoring, detection, investigation, and response — as a managed cloud service.
Buyer context
SOCaaS usually implies a broader operating model than a single managed tool. Buyers should still check what is actually included: analyst coverage, detection engineering, response authority, escalation process, reporting, compliance evidence, and incident response support.
