FAQs about the Security Operations Centre (SOC) for small and medium sized enterprises

What is a SOC

A SOC is an advanced solution designed to protect a company's or public organization's data that uses commercial grade detection software and cyber security professionals working 24/7 in a physical or virtual 'command center' approach to quickly identify, investigate and stop cyber threats.

Why does my small or medium sized business need a SOC service?

Threats from Cyber-attacks are real. They occur often and the impacts can be devastating to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME's). Generic entry-level anti-virus solutions are not advanced enough to stop them for businesses.

How does it work?

Castellan's Crimson Shield SOC will monitor your network security logs using commercial-grade detection software. This technology will alert our cyber security professionals to investigate and stop any data intrusions on a 24/7 basis. We provide SME's with the same comprehensive protection levels as larger organizations.

What is the difference between this service and my current 'off the shelf' antivirus software and firewall?

Most "off-the-shelf" protection software protects clients well. However, Castellan's Crimson Shield features more sophisticated detection technologies suited to commercial enterprises. In addition, Castellan's cyber security specialists provide 24/7 support as a second layer of protection and deliver detailed reports to each client outlining their threats and security activity.

What does it cost?

Castellan's Crimson Shield is being offered at a price point to meet the budgets of SMEs. The service is delivered on a monthly subscription basis and can be canceled at any time without penalty or other costs. Castellan offers different tiers of prices to match your business needs and budget with a starting point as low as $500 per month. Exact prices depend on the tier of service and the number of information assets (servers, desktops, laptops, network devices etc.) that each client wants to have protected.

Is your SOC a replacement for my current anti-virus software or network protection?

Castellan's Crimson Shield complements existing anti-virus and network solutions to provide more sophisticated detection capabilities and respond faster to threats before they cause greater damage.

Will anyone have access to my organization's data?

No. Crimson Shield's detection technology and cyber security specialists will not be able to access your data and will only analyze the source and type of threats.

Will my data be processed or stored outside of Canada.

No, the detection technology and Castellan's Crimson Shield SOC is housed only in Canada.

What is Different about Castellan's Crimson Shield SOC service Versus others?

Crimson Shield's advanced technology and functionality were designed to meet the needs and budgets of smaller businesses. Castellan's management team saw this gap in the market and created our Security Operations Centre to fill it.

Is there a competitive advantage to having a SOC?

This significant step to protect your data and customer information enables you to inform your customers and suppliers that you are taking cyber security seriously. Actively taking a proactive approach and acknowledging your responsibility becomes a strong marketing strategy.

Is Castellan's Crimson Shield Aligned with Industry Standards and Best Practices?

Yes. Castellan's service has been certified by ISO 27001 which is the international standard for information security.
