Managed SIEM and SOC as a Service in Reno

A SIEM (security information and event management) collects logs from your accounts, devices and network and correlates them so real attacks stand out. We run the SIEM for you and our SOC team watches its alerts 24/7/365. Managed SIEM is included in both plans for businesses in Reno, Sparks and Carson City.

One timeline across every system.

Attacks rarely show up in a single log. A typical account takeover looks like a sign-in from an unusual location in your identity logs, a new inbox forwarding rule in email logs and a large file download in your cloud storage logs. Each event looks harmless alone.

A SIEM collects those events in one place, normalizes them and applies correlation rules, so the three events above become one high-priority alert. That is the difference between noticing an attack in minutes and discovering it months later. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report put the average time to identify and contain a breach at 241 days.1

What we connect.

  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace sign-ins, mailbox and admin activity
  • Identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID
  • Endpoint detection and response alerts from your MDR
  • Firewalls and VPN or ZTNA gateways
  • Servers and key cloud applications, where they support log export

Exact sources depend on your environment and are confirmed during onboarding.

How our SOC cuts through the noise.

Untuned SIEMs drown small teams in alerts. Most of our work is making sure the alerts that reach a human are the ones that matter.

  1. Baseline

    During onboarding we learn what normal looks like for your business: where people sign in from, which admins do what and which systems talk to each other.

  2. Correlate

    Rules combine events across sources, so a single failed login stays quiet while a successful login from a new country followed by a mailbox rule change raises an alert.

  3. Investigate

    Our SOC analysts review the alerts that reach them, enrich them with threat intelligence and decide whether each is real.

  4. Respond and tune

    Real threats move to containment through MDR and incident response. False positives become tuning changes so the same noise does not return.

Logging the regulations ask for.

Most security regulations expect you to record and review system activity. A managed SIEM gives you that record and the evidence that someone reviews it.

HIPAA

The Security Rule requires audit controls and regular review of information system activity for systems holding ePHI.

FTC Safeguards

Requires monitoring and logging of authorized user activity and detection of unauthorized access to customer information.

CMMC

Level 2 includes the NIST SP 800-171 audit and accountability requirements for creating, retaining and reviewing logs.

Cyber insurance

Insurers increasingly ask whether logs are centralized and monitored, and a managed SIEM lets you answer yes.

Managed SIEM FAQ

Managed SIEM means a provider runs your security information and event management platform for you. The provider connects your log sources, writes and tunes the detection rules, and has analysts review the alerts. You get the visibility of a SIEM without hiring the people needed to operate one.
SIEM as a service is a cloud-hosted SIEM delivered on a subscription, so you do not buy servers or manage storage. With us it comes with something more important than the software: our SOC team watching the alerts 24/7/365 as part of your plan.
In a co-managed SIEM, your internal team and the provider share the work. Typically the provider handles the platform and after-hours monitoring while your staff investigate during business hours. Our plans are fully managed, but we share findings with your IT team and provider.
Most small and mid-sized businesses are better served by cloud SIEM: no hardware to maintain, easier scaling and simple collection from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other cloud services. On-premises SIEM mainly makes sense for organizations with strict data residency rules and their own security staff.
A SIEM is software that collects and correlates logs. A SOC is the team that watches the SIEM and other tools and responds to threats. A SIEM with no SOC produces alerts nobody reads. Our plans include both.
