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.

Disaster Recovery Plan

Disaster strikes when you least expect it. While you may have a plan in place, how confident are you that it will work when a real emergency hits? At Quality NOC, we believe in proactive preparation and swift, expert recovery to minimise downtime and data loss.

What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?

A disaster recovery (DR) plan is a set of procedures and policies designed to enable a business to resume essential functions and restore data after a disaster, whether it’s a natural calamity, a cyberattack, or a hardware failure. A well-defined plan is the cornerstone of business continuity, ensuring your company can withstand disruptions and get back on its feet quickly.

Our Comprehensive Disaster Recovery Procedures

Our approach to disaster recovery is built on a foundation of thorough planning, advanced technology, and skilled professionals. Our procedures are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your unique business needs, covering a wide range of potential disasters. We specialise in:

  • MySQL Database Recovery: Our experts can quickly restore your critical MySQL databases, ensuring minimal data loss and a rapid return to normal operations.
  • SaaS Systems: We have extensive experience in recovering and restoring data and functionality for various SaaS platforms, minimising the impact on your business operations.
  • Data Backups: We implement robust backup strategies to protect your valuable data, making sure that a recent, secure copy is always available for restoration.
  • Migrations: When disaster strikes, sometimes a quick migration to a new, secure environment is the best course of action. We can facilitate smooth and efficient migrations to get you back online.
  • IP Telephony: Communication is key during a crisis. We can help restore and maintain your IP telephony systems, so you can stay connected with your team and customers.
