Choosing the right partner in cybersecurity can make or break your defense strategy. We believe in the value of keeping things close to home—literally. That’s why our SOC services are fully U.S.-based, with no outsourcing. Here’s why this approach is incredibly beneficial for organizations serious about protecting their data, mitigating risk, and maintaining compliance.
Data Sovereignty: Keep Your Data Where It Belongs
With increasing regulations around data protection and privacy, many organizations are wary of handing over their sensitive information to overseas providers. A Ponemon Institute report showed that organizations adhering to domestic data governance regulations saved an average of 12.7% on potential regulatory fines compared to those using international data storage providers. A U.S.-based SOC ensures that your data never crosses international borders, staying firmly within the jurisdiction of U.S. laws and regulations. This simplifies compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, FISMA, and DFARS, which have strict mandates on where and how sensitive data can be stored and processed.
Consistent Quality: No Guesswork, Just Results
When it comes to cybersecurity, there’s no room for inconsistency. Outsourcing your SOC to foreign providers can lead to varying levels of service quality, cultural misunderstandings, and communication breakdowns. By keeping our operations domestic, we ensure that our SOC analysts adhere to the highest standards, maintain strict operational processes, and deliver consistent, reliable protection—without the added ambiguity.
Faster Response Times: Every Second Counts
Cyber threats don’t clock out. When incidents occur, rapid response is essential to minimize damage. A domestic SOC allows for faster response times since our analysts aren’t coordinating across a multitude of time zones. A study from IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023 found that organizations with a local SOC and incident response team saw a 27% reduction in breach containment time, compared to companies relying on international or outsourced services. Whether it's 3 p.m. or 3 a.m., our team is ready to react, with fewer time delays and more direct communication channels.
Communication Made Simple: No Loss in Translation
Effective security requires clear communication. When you partner with a U.S.-based SOC, you eliminate the potential for language barriers or cultural misunderstandings that can occur with internationally outsourced teams. Clear, concise communication leads to more accurate reporting, streamlined processes, and faster resolution times—key elements when the stakes are high.
Building Client Trust: Keeping it Local, Keeping it Secure
We understand the importance of trust in the client-provider relationship. A PwC 2023 Global Digital Trust Insights report highlighted that 64% of U.S. organizations prefer to work with domestic cybersecurity providers due to concerns over data privacy and third-party risks. Of these, 43% reported increased trust in service providers who operate entirely within U.S. borders. Many of our clients—especially those in highly regulated critical infrastructure industries—place a premium on knowing that their sensitive data is handled exclusively within U.S. borders. A U.S.-based SOC helps foster that trust, ensuring data protection and compliance every step of the way.
A Must for Government Contractors
If your team works with government agencies or defense contractors, having a U.S.-based SOC isn’t just a bonus—it’s often a necessity. Many government contracts stipulate that only domestic teams can handle sensitive data, making our 100% U.S.-based SOC the ideal partner for organizations in this space.
Reducing Supply Chain Risks: Simplicity is Security
With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated, supply chain risks are increasingly in the spotlight. Outsourcing parts of your SOC operations can expose your organization to third-party risks, potentially increasing the number of attack vectors. A 2023 study from Accenture revealed that companies with fully domestic SOC services reduced supply chain-related cyber risks by 32%, compared to those outsourcing SOC services to multiple vendors across borders. By relying on a single, domestic SOC, you’re reducing your overall risk by limiting the number of outside parties with access to your systems and data.
