IT services and solutions provider Roc Technologies has opened a security operations centre (SOC), advancing its mission to provide “accessible” cybersecurity solutions to businesses and public sector organisations of all sizes across the UK.
The SOC offers monitoring and tailored security services that enhance resilience against the growing landscape of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats. A modular and scalable approach enables small- and mid-sized organisations, through to enterprise businesses, to navigate challenges like cost, complexity and limited internal expertise, that often make high-level protection unattainable, said the provider.
The SOC is operated in-house by Roc Technologies’ UK-based qualified team of analysts and engineers, which “differentiates” the service from competitors that rely on outsourced, non UK-based capabilities. 80% of Roc’s delivery teams are fully security-vetted, and the centre operates 24/7, 365 days a year, providing real-time monitoring, threat detection and incident response. The service aligns with UK data sovereignty laws, ensuring all data is stored, managed and monitored within the country’s borders.
“By allowing customers to select services that complement their existing capabilities, the SOC offers an alternative to traditional, one-size-fits-all solutions. This model enables organisations to strengthen their defences while remaining cost-effective and operationally efficient,” Roc said.
Roc has decades of experience in various sectors, including defence, higher education and central government, which all demand the highest levels of security and compliance.
Chelsea Chamberlin, CTO at Roc Technologies, said: “The launch of our SOC is proof of our commitment to making high-quality cybersecurity services accessible to a wide range of organisations. The stakes are higher than ever, and businesses need solutions that protect against threats without disrupting their operations.
“Our SOC has been designed to integrate seamlessly with our customers’ existing IT landscapes, ensuring that they can rely on us for protection, resilience and peace of mind.”
Roc plans to expand its SOC capabilities further. Over the next 12 to 24 months, the company says it will recruit additional cyber specialists, enhance its technological capabilities, and deepen its integration with advanced tools such as artificial intelligence and automation.
