Security Operations Centre
Setup & Build Services in India
Most organisations buy a SIEM, hire two analysts, and call it a SOC. Real security operations require architecture decisions across people, process, and technology — all aligned to your threat profile, regulatory obligations, and budget. Ogma designs and builds your SOC as a structured project with defined deliverables: working technology, documented playbooks, trained analysts, and measurable MITRE ATT&CK coverage on day one.
What We Build for You
A SOC build project spans six workstreams — all delivered in a single engagement.
SOC Architecture Design
We design your SOC architecture: on-premises vs. hybrid vs. cloud-hosted SIEM, SOAR platform selection, ticketing system integration, threat intelligence feeds, and data flow diagrams. Architecture decisions are documented with rationale and cost/capability trade-offs.
- SIEM platform selection (FortiSIEM / Splunk / QRadar)
- SOAR platform evaluation
- Data flow and log source architecture
- Network zone design for SOC infrastructure
Technology Deployment
We deploy and configure the selected SIEM and SOAR platforms, onboard your log sources, and integrate with existing security tools (EDR, NDR, firewall, email gateway). All deployments are production-grade with HA where required.
- SIEM deployment + log source onboarding
- SOAR platform deployment + playbook development
- EDR, NDR, and firewall integrations
- Threat intelligence platform (TIP) connection
Use Case Library (MITRE ATT&CK)
We map and deploy 50 detection use cases across MITRE ATT&CK v15 tactics, prioritised for your industry's threat profile. Each use case has defined detection logic, severity level, SOAR response playbook, and analyst runbook.
- 50 use cases across ATT&CK tactics
- Industry-specific threat prioritisation
- ATT&CK coverage heat map
- Use case test cases and validation
Process & Playbook Documentation
A SOC without documented processes is an analyst team making ad-hoc decisions. We develop the L1/L2/L3 escalation model, incident classification matrix, shift handover process, CERT-In reporting procedure, and playbooks for the top 20 incident types.
- L1/L2/L3 tier model and escalation matrix
- Incident classification (P1–P4) definitions
- CERT-In 6-hour reporting procedure
- 20 analyst runbooks (top incident types)
Compliance Framework Mapping
Your SOC is often the primary evidence source for cyber compliance audits. We map your log sources, use cases, and reports to applicable frameworks — so your SOC delivers compliance evidence as a by-product of normal operations.
- RBI Cyber Security Framework (CSF)
- CERT-In Cyber Crisis Management Plan
- ISO 27001:2022 (Annex A.16 / A.8)
- SEBI CSCRF / IRDAI cyber guidelines
Analyst Training & Handover
Technology and process are useless without skilled analysts to operate them. We deliver structured training for your L1/L2 team: SIEM navigation, alert triage methodology, use case walkthrough, SOAR playbook operation, and escalation procedures — plus a 30-day post-go-live support period.
- 4-day analyst training programme
- SIEM and SOAR platform hands-on labs
- Tabletop exercise (simulated incident)
- 30-day post-go-live hypercare support
Why Ogma for SOC Build?
Vendor-Neutral Architecture
We recommend the SIEM and SOAR platform that fits your environment — FortiSIEM, Splunk, IBM QRadar, or Microsoft Sentinel. Our recommendation is based on your EPS volume, budget, existing Fortinet investment, and team's skill level. We don't push one vendor.
India Regulatory Expertise
CERT-In's 6-hour incident reporting, RBI CSF annexures, SEBI CSCRF continuous monitoring requirements, and IRDAI cyber guidelines are built into our SOC design. We've helped regulated entities across BFSI, insurance, and NBFCs pass their first SOC-related audits.
Proven Delivery Model
Our SOC build methodology follows a structured 5-phase project model with defined milestones, acceptance criteria, and sign-off gates. You always know what's been delivered and what's next. No open-ended consulting engagements with no tangible outputs.
Project Delivery Process
5-phase methodology. Fixed milestones. Defined deliverables at each gate.
Discovery & Architecture (Weeks 1–2)
We inventory your existing security tools, interview stakeholders (CISO, IT, compliance), and understand your regulatory obligations. Current-state assessment is documented. We produce the target SOC architecture diagram, technology recommendations, staffing model, and project timeline for CISO sign-off before any technology is deployed.
Technology Deployment (Weeks 2–6)
SIEM and SOAR platforms are deployed and hardened. Log sources are onboarded in priority order: network (firewall, DNS, proxy first), then endpoint (EDR/AV), then application (critical apps, AD, email gateway). Each log source is validated for parse accuracy and completeness before moving to the next batch.
Use Case Development (Weeks 4–8, parallel)
While log sources are being onboarded, use case development begins for confirmed sources. Each use case goes through: define → build → test → tune → document → sign-off. The first 20 use cases are deployed in alert mode, reviewed for false positives, then promoted to detection mode before the remaining 30 are developed.
Process & Playbook Documentation (Weeks 6–10)
SOC operating model is documented: shift schedules, escalation matrix, incident classification, CERT-In reporting procedure, daily/weekly/monthly analyst task checklists, and 20 analyst runbooks covering the most common incident types for your industry.
Training, Testing & Handover (Weeks 10–16)
4-day analyst training programme covering SIEM operation, alert triage, SOAR playbook execution, and compliance reporting. A tabletop exercise simulates a realistic incident (ransomware or supply chain attack) to validate the SOC's response capability. Final deliverable: SOC Go-Live Report with ATT&CK coverage heat map and 30-day hypercare support period.
