    SOC Implementation for an IT Company

    An international IT company approached Datami to strengthen infrastructure security, centralize security monitoring, and prepare for certification. The Datami implemented a Wazuh-based SOC, configured 47 detection scenarios (use cases) and 25 response scenarios (playbooks), increasing ISO 27001 compliance to 94%.

    The international IT company provides infrastructure monitoring solutions and processes personal and financial data. With more than 50,000 users, maintaining a high level of security is critical.

    For this business, cybersecurity directly affects service availability, compliance with industry standards, and the ability to detect and respond to incidents.

    Project goals and challenges
    At the start of the project, the client had no SIEM system or centralized security monitoring, making threat detection difficult.

    This increased the risk of data breaches, non-compliance with ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and disruptions to critical services.
    • Implement a SOC and SIEM for centralized security monitoring across the infrastructure
    • Reduce incident detection and response times while improving alert accuracy
    • Achieve ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness with a scalable security architecture

    IT infrastructure
    100+ hosts: Windows, Windows Server 2022, Ubuntu Server, Active Directory, and public-facing hosts.

    Key risks
    No SIEM, slow incident detection, excessive log noise, and risk of data compromise.

    Expected outcome
    Centralized monitoring, faster incident response, and compliance with security standards.

    Our approach

    Datami implemented the SOC in stages by deploying the Wazuh SIEM system and integrating it into the client's infrastructure. The approach included documentation analysis, threat detection scenarios, and attack simulation.

    Security monitoring was centralized across critical systems, preparing the infrastructure for compliance. Detection rules were configured, log noise and false positives reduced, allowing the system to focus on critical incidents.

    Compliance-driven

    Built monitoring scenarios and use cases aligned with security standards and regulatory requirements.

    Purple team

    Validated SIEM effectiveness through cyberattack simulations and analysis of how the system detected them.
    Key project stages and solutions

    SOC implementation followed a phased approach, considering the complex IT infrastructure, service continuity, and certification goals. 

    At the beginning of the project, the sequence of work and regular reporting were agreed upon. 

    The primary communication with the client took place during weekly Google Meet meetings and via email.

    • SIEM deployment
      Implemented Wazuh and connected Active Directory, Windows workstations, and Ubuntu servers to centralized security monitoring.
    • Configuration and validation
      Built detection scenarios, collected telemetry, reduced false positives, and validated the system through attack simulations.
    • Project finalization
      Analyzed results, prepared the final report, technical documentation, and recommendations for future operations.

    Results and recommendations

    Results and recommendations

    As a result of the project, the client received a Wazuh- and Zabbix-based SOC with centralized monitoring of 95% of critical assets and a complete audit trail. Datami implemented 47 detection scenarios and 25 response scenarios, identified 347 CVEs, and achieved 99.98% monitoring uptime.

    The key outcome of the project was a significant improvement in incident response speed and compliance levels:

    • Incident detection time was reduced from 36 hours to 8 minutes;
    • Incident response time was reduced from 8 hours to 35 minutes.

    ISO 27001 compliance increased from 32% to 94%, while SOC 2 readiness improved from 28% to 91%. The client also received technical documentation, including:

    • Disaster Recovery Plan,
    • Incident Response Policy,
    • Access Control Policy,
    • Vulnerability Assessment and Compliance Reports.
    Key project results

    SOC implementation helped the client centralize security monitoring, significantly reduce incident detection and response time, and improve control over critical assets.

    This case study shows that for a complex IT infrastructure, continuous monitoring, quality logging, and tested response scenarios are the foundation of resilience against modern cyber threats. Phased SOC implementation enables faster attack detection and systematically improves security process maturity.
