For years, cyber operations relied on the Security Operations Centre (SOC) model; a structured approach to monitoring threats, identifying risks, and responding to incidents. But as threats became more sophisticated and business environments evolved, the traditional SOC approach began to show its limitations. Many still rely on this outdated service offering, unaware of the gaps it leaves in risk management and operational resilience. ctrl:cyber recognised this shift and developed the Risk Operations Centre (ROC)—a solution designed to meet modern security needs. 

The Need for Change

Traditional SOC’s focus soley on real-time monitoring and alerting, often flooding organisations with alerts that lack meaningful context. The result? Security teams are stuck in a cycle of reacting to threats rather than preventing them. 

Beyond detection, businesses need a broader strategy that aligns cyber risk with overall operational resilience. Ctrl identified this gap and created the ROC to offer a more comprehensive, business-driven approach to security. The ROC is designed to go beyond alerts, providing actionable intelligence and risk-based insights tailored to a traditional SOC service.

Looking Ahead

The transition from SOC to ROC is more than a service upgrade—it’s a shift in mindset.
