SOC Scorecard — Here’s How Your SOC Measures Up 

105-130

Optimized SOC

Your SOC operates with high-quality alerts, strong contextual visibility, and automated response to repetitive and obvious threats across the security stack. Network, endpoint, user, and access activity are correlated effectively, allowing analysts to investigate and respond with confidence and speed.

Next steps

Continue refining detections, expand proactive threat hunting, and regularly test response workflows to stay resilient as threats evolve.

80–104

Operational but Strained SOC

Your SOC operates with high-quality alerts, strong contextual visibility, and automated response to repetitive and obvious threats across the security stack. Network, endpoint, user, and access activity are correlated effectively, allowing analysts to investigate and respond with confidence and speed.

Next steps

Reduce alert noise, improve cross-domain visibility, and automate repetitive investigation and response tasks to scale efficiently.

55–79

Reactive SOC

Your SOC is primarily alert-driven and reactive. Analysts struggle with alert volume, limited context, and manual investigation workflows. Response actions are often delayed, inconsistent, or dependent on individual expertise.  Threat detection relies heavily on known indicators, increasing the risk of missed lateral movement, insider activity, or low-and-slow attacks. 

Next steps

Strengthen network and behavioral visibility, standardize investigations, and improve correlation across security data sources. Many teams at this stage reassess how their detection and response capabilities work together. 

Below 54

High-Risk SOC

Your SOC lacks the visibility, automation, and consistency required to operate effectively.  Alerts overwhelm analysts, context is difficult to assemble, and response actions are slow or unclear. SOC often reacts after impact rather than containing threats early. In this state, the organization is exposed to prolonged dwell time, missed attacks, and operational burnout, frequently requiring external assistance during serious incidents. 

Next steps

Prioritize visibility, simplify investigations, and introduce automation to regain control. Organizations in this stage often engage experienced security partners to accelerate improvements in detection and response.
