How Much Does a 24/7 SOC Cost for a Small Business?

Ask most managed security providers what a SOC costs and you'll get the same answer: "It depends — let's schedule a call." We think that's part of the reason so many small businesses stay unprotected. So here are real numbers.

The short answer

At CyberOM, 24/7 SOC monitoring with managed detection and response starts at $9.20 per endpoint per month. For a 20-endpoint company, that's $190/month for a real security operations team watching your environment around the clock.

What you're actually paying for

A SOC (Security Operations Center) is not software. It's a team of analysts who monitor security signals from your endpoints and environment, investigate suspicious activity, and respond when something is genuinely wrong. The price reflects three things:

Coverage. Attacks don't keep business hours. A 24/7 SOC means a human is on watch at 3 AM on a holiday weekend — when many serious incidents actually unfold.

Triage. Security tools generate noise. The SOC's job is separating the false alarms from the real threats so your team isn't drowning in alerts.

Response. When something real happens, the SOC contains it — isolating a compromised endpoint, blocking malicious activity, and guiding recovery.

Our actual pricing

| Package | Price | What's included | |---------|-------|-----------------| | SOC & Response | $9.20 / endpoint / month | 24/7 SOC monitoring + managed detection and response (you bring your own EDR) | | SOC & Extended Response | $15.00 / endpoint / month | Everything above, with extended response coverage (you bring your own EDR) | | Full Cyber Stack | $35.00 / endpoint / month | Complete stack including Acronis EDR — nothing else to bring |

The first two packages are BYOE — Bring Your Own EDR: if you already pay for an endpoint protection tool, we plug into it instead of forcing you to buy a new one. Full Cyber Stack is for companies starting from zero — the EDR is included.

What about compliance?

Coverage for the technical cybersecurity requirements of frameworks like NIS2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA is included at no extra cost. (This covers the technical security controls — it isn't legal advice.)

FAQ

Is there a minimum company size?

No. Pricing is per endpoint, so a 5-person company pays for 5 endpoints.

Do I need to replace my current antivirus or EDR?

Not for SOC & Response or SOC & Extended Response — those are designed to work with the EDR you already have. Full Cyber Stack includes Acronis EDR if you'd rather consolidate.

What happens after I submit a request?

Our team reviews it and responds within 24 hours with a concrete plan and the next steps for installation.
