Why Use A SOC Cost Calculator?

Building or outsourcing a SOC is a major investment, and the actual cost varies widely based on coverage, staffing, and the amount of data being monitored.

What Affects SOC Cost?

Number of endpoints/users
Data ingestion and log sources
Threat detection and response depth
24/7 vs office-hours monitoring
Incident containment & SLAs
Compliance obligations (NIS 2, ISO 27001 controls, GDPR)
Tooling and platform costs (SIEM/SOAR)
