Managed SOC for the UK Public Sector
Protect critical public services around the clock with an appropriately cleared, CREST-accredited SOC. Claranet combines Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne technologies with analyst-led monitoring, threat hunting and incident response — tuned to the risk, governance and service-continuity requirements of public-sector environments.
A managed SOC should reduce your exposure and your operational burden, not simply create another queue of alerts.
Use the security technology you have with people watching it properly
Most organisations already own a significant amount of security technology. The harder problem is keeping it tuned, correlating signals and having qualified analysts available every hour of the year.
Claranet can operate Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne technologies as part of the managed service, avoiding a forced rip-and-replace where your existing platform is fit for purpose.
- 24/7/365 monitoring and analyst-led incident triage.
- Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne options.
- Continuous detection-rule tuning to reduce noise.
- Clear priority-based escalation and incident notification.
Designed for sensitive public-sector operating environments
Public-sector security services need more than technical capability. They also need the right operating procedures, information handling and personnel assurance for the environment being protected.
Claranet can provide an appropriately cleared, CREST-accredited SOC capability for in-scope public-sector services, with engagement-specific clearance and access requirements agreed before onboarding.
- Defined access and responsibility model before go-live.
- Appropriately cleared personnel where the engagement requires it.
- Secure handling of security telemetry and incident information.
- Governance and reporting suitable for public-sector assurance teams.
Turn security telemetry into detection, response and assurance
Claranet analysts do more than acknowledge alerts. Proactive threat hunting uses MITRE ATT&CK techniques to search for indicators that automated rules may miss, while incident records and recurring reporting give your internal security and governance teams an evidence trail.
- MITRE ATT&CK-aligned proactive threat hunting.
- Investigation, root-cause analysis and remediation guidance.
- Monthly reporting and regular service reviews.
- Evidence that can support wider NCSC CAF, Cyber Essentials Plus and internal assurance activity where applicable.
Continuous defence for services that cannot wait until the next working day
Public-sector organisations operate services people depend on. Security monitoring therefore has to work through nights, weekends and holidays, with clear escalation when an incident threatens availability or sensitive data.
Claranet MDR brings endpoint, identity, cloud, network and application telemetry into a managed detection service. Analysts review incidents, remove false positives, investigate material activity and provide clear containment and remediation guidance.
The service can be built around the Microsoft security stack where you already have that investment, or around SentinelOne where endpoint and XDR capability is the priority. Either way, the operating model remains analyst-led and governed by agreed service levels.
Need 24/7 detection without building another security team?
We can assess your existing Microsoft, SentinelOne and wider security estate, identify the coverage gaps and design a managed SOC model around the systems and public services that matter most.
