SOC Consulting &
Maturity Assessment Services India
Before committing major capex to building or rebuilding your SOC, you need to know exactly where your current detection gaps are, which investments will have the most impact, and what a realistic 12-month improvement roadmap looks like. Ogma's SOC consulting engagement delivers an independent, evidence-based assessment — not a tool vendor's self-serving questionnaire.
Consulting Deliverables
Every assessment produces these five evidence-based outputs.
SOC Maturity Assessment Report
A scored maturity assessment across 14 SOC capability domains: detection engineering, alert triage, incident response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, SOAR automation, compliance reporting, analyst training, and more. Each domain is scored on a 1–5 scale with evidence-based findings.
- 14-domain maturity scoring
- Benchmark against India BFSI/sector peers
- Top 5 critical gaps highlighted
- Executive summary (2-page CISO brief)
MITRE ATT&CK Gap Analysis
We review your SIEM's active detection rules, map them to MITRE ATT&CK v15 tactics and techniques, and produce a coverage heat map showing where you have visibility, where you're blind, and which blind spots matter most given your industry's threat actors.
- ATT&CK coverage heat map (current state)
- Critical blind spot identification
- Industry-relevant threat actor mapping
- Prioritised gap closure recommendations
Detection Coverage Audit
Beyond ATT&CK mapping, we audit the quality of your detection logic: are rules generating too many false positives? Are thresholds set appropriately? Are log sources missing that would be needed to detect high-priority attack paths? A detection coverage audit gives you actionable data on rule health.
- Rule-by-rule false-positive rate analysis
- Missing log source identification
- Detection logic quality scoring
- Quick-win tuning recommendations (immediate)
12-Month SOC Improvement Roadmap
A practical, prioritised roadmap of initiatives that will improve your SOC's maturity over the next 12 months — with effort estimates, cost indicatives, dependencies, and expected maturity gain per initiative. Sequenced so quick wins deliver value in the first 30 days while structural improvements build over the year.
- 30/60/90-day immediate action plan
- 6-month and 12-month strategic initiatives
- Budget indicatives per initiative
- Dependency and sequencing map
Tabletop Exercise (Optional)
A half-day simulated incident scenario tests your SOC team's real-world response capability — not just the technology, but the people and process. Common scenarios: ransomware outbreak, supply chain compromise, insider threat, or targeted APT intrusion. Findings feed directly into the improvement roadmap.
- Industry-specific scenario (ransomware / APT)
- L1/L2/L3 team participation
- After-Action Report (AAR) with findings
- CERT-In reporting procedure stress test
Compliance Gap Mapping
We map your SOC's current capabilities against applicable Indian regulatory frameworks to identify compliance gaps that auditors are likely to raise. Each gap is classified by severity and linked to a remediation recommendation in the SOC improvement roadmap.
- RBI Cyber Security Framework annexure mapping
- CERT-In incident response compliance check
- ISO 27001:2022 A.16 / A.8 gap list
- SEBI CSCRF / IRDAI (if applicable)
Who Is This Engagement For?
BFSI & Regulated Entities
Banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, and payment processors facing RBI CSF, SEBI CSCRF, or IRDAI cybersecurity audits. An independent SOC assessment provides the evidence and roadmap needed for regulatory submissions and audit responses.
Enterprises with Existing SOCs
Organisations with a SOC that's been running for 1–3 years but hasn't been independently assessed. Alert volumes are high, analyst burnout is a concern, and leadership wants to know if the investment is delivering results. This assessment provides objective evidence and a clear improvement plan.
Pre-Build Planning
Organisations planning to build a new SOC or significantly upgrade an existing one. A consulting engagement before the build project ensures technology selection is well-informed, use-case prioritisation is threat-driven, and the SOC build investment is properly scoped — avoiding costly mid-project pivots.
Engagement Process
Structured 4-week consulting engagement with defined outputs at each stage.
Kickoff & Data Collection (Days 1–5)
We meet with your CISO, SOC manager, and lead analysts. We collect SIEM configuration exports, rule lists, log source inventory, incident reports from the last 6 months, and compliance audit findings. A stakeholder survey is distributed to gather analyst perspectives on pain points. No access to production systems is required for this phase — document review only.
Technical Assessment (Days 6–14)
With read-only SIEM access, we map active detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK, analyse false-positive rates, review log source coverage, and assess SOAR playbook completeness. We interview L1/L2 analysts using structured scenarios to understand real-world response capability gaps. Compliance control mapping is completed during this phase.
Analysis & Report Drafting (Days 15–21)
All findings are synthesised into the maturity scorecard, ATT&CK heat map, and detection coverage audit. The 12-month improvement roadmap is drafted with sequenced initiatives and cost indicatives. Draft reports are shared with your CISO for factual accuracy review before finalisation.
Findings Presentation & Roadmap Workshop (Days 22–28)
A half-day findings workshop presents all deliverables to your CISO and leadership team. We walk through the maturity scores, critical gaps, and the prioritised roadmap — allowing leadership to validate priorities against business constraints and upcoming audit timelines. If the tabletop exercise is in scope, it's conducted on the same day.
