Cyber security services that stop the breach before the board hears about it.

A managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) is an outsourced team of security analysts and engineers who monitor your environment 24/7 for threats, contain incidents on your behalf, and produce the audit-grade reporting your board and insurer expect. A good UK managed SOC combines a SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk), an XDR (ThreatSpike, CrowdStrike), human analysts on UK shift patterns, and an incident response retainer with defined MTTR targets. Transputec runs all of the above as a single integrated service. Our managed SOC practice aligns with the NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security.

UK managed cyber security pricing is normally per-endpoint per month. For 100–2,000 user mid-market organisations, fully-managed MDR with SOC, EDR/XDR and IR retainer typically lands between £12 and £24 per endpoint per month. Penetration testing engagements range from £4,500 for a focused external test to £25,000+ for full-scope internal/external/cloud. We publish indicative pricing in the SoW before contract signature, no per-incident fees, ever. For the wider threat-cost context, read our analysis of cyber threats facing UK businesses in 2026.

MDR (Managed Detection & Response) is the active layer, analysts hunting in your environment, isolating compromised hosts, terminating malicious processes. A managed SOC is the wider service wrapper: SIEM tuning, alert triage, threat-intel integration, monthly reporting, and the incident-response retainer that activates when MDR finds something. Transputec delivers both as a single service, one team, one contract, one MTTR.

Our incident response retainer gives you a defined priority engagement window for any cyber incident, with our experienced UK IR team mobilised inside contracted SLA. For clients on our 24/7 managed SOC, median P1 containment runs in minutes, the host is isolated before most internal teams have finished reading the alert. Full forensic evidence is preserved by default for ICO, FCA and insurer reporting. See how this worked in our cyber security case study for the Strand Palace Hotel.

Our Security Operations Centre is based in our London headquarters, with 24/7 UK-shifted analysts. We deliver follow-the-sun coverage through long-standing partners in North America and APAC, but every UK shift is staffed in the UK, under our SLAs, with no L1 offshoring. You can ask for a SOC tour as part of due diligence.

Yes. Transputec is technology-agnostic. We operate Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar and Elastic for SIEM; ThreatSpike, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender for XDR. For network and identity we deploy and operate the full Cisco Secure stack (Secure Firewall, Identity Services Engine, Duo MFA, Umbrella) as a Cisco Partner. If you already have a tool, we will run it. If you do not, we will bring our stack, including ThreatSpike, where Transputec is the longest-standing UK MSP partner.

Yes. We produce evidence packs for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, FCA, ICO, NHS DSPT and GDPR Article 32 as standard monthly outputs. In an incident, our IR team produces regulator-ready forensic reporting within the statutory 72-hour ICO window, and walks the affected stakeholders through the disclosure with you.
