Why Two Analysts from 9 to 5 and a Basic Ticketing System Aren’t Enough for a True SOC/NOC

Leadership may have thought their organization was covered. But when a critical alert triggered on a Saturday night, the response was a stark reminder of what was missing.

  • No response until Monday morning — due to the lack of 24/7 shift coverage.
  • The analyst on duty wasn’t trained on the system that triggered the alert.
  • No playbooks for handling the specific alert, and no predefined escalation process.
  • Incomplete logs — with several systems not even onboarded.
  • The breach spread unchecked for over 24 hours, unnoticed and uncontained.

Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. Many SOCs and NOCs technically exist, but fail when it matters most — during critical incidents.

Here’s what’s typically missing:

  • Lack of 24/7 Monitoring — What’s called “on-call” support isn’t enough to respond in real time.
  • No Root Cause Analysis — Focus is placed on ticket closures instead of understanding and addressing underlying issues.
  • Absence of Key Metrics — Critical performance indicators like Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) are often ignored.
  • No Executive-Level Reporting — Risk isn’t effectively communicated to leadership, leaving them in the dark.
  • No Maturity Assessments or Ongoing Validation — SOCs/NOCs often lack the regular assessments needed to ensure they’re evolving to meet growing threats.
  • Unclear Ownership — Responsibility for incident management is often undefined, leading to confusion and slow responses.

The importance of NOC services

NOC services involve the continuous monitoring and management of an organisation’s IT infrastructure to keep it running smoothly and efficiently, 24/7. The NOC provides round-the-clock proactive monitoring and management to enable issues to be caught and resolved before they become potential show-stoppers. The effective NOC relies heavily on automation; in particular, the use of sophisticated remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools.

The NOC’s main purpose is to maximise uptime; to ensure IT runs optimally without any negative impact on productivity; and to proactively address any potential emergencies.
