French SOC - 24/7 real-time cyber surveillance

A SOC, or Security Operations Center, is a monitoring center dedicated to the detection, analysis and response to security incidents, operated on behalf of the company by a specialized service provider such as IT Systèmes.This outsourced approach enables even medium-sized companies to benefit from a level of protection equivalent to that of large corporations, without having to set up their own internal SOC or mobilize resources 24/7.

Deploying an EDR without supervision is like installing an alarm without ever looking at the control panel.
The EDR detects abnormal behavior, but without human analysis, correlation and rapid reaction, alerts go unnoticed.
At IT Systèmes, our SOC analysts monitor, interpret and prioritize alerts generated by EDR/XDR.
They distinguish false positives from genuine threats, isolate compromised machines, block suspicious processes and initiate the necessary corrective measures.
It is this active, human management of EDR that makes all the difference between a passive alarm and a truly operational defense.

These three tools are complementary and essential in a modern cybersecurity system.

• EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response): focuses on protecting and monitoring workstations and servers. It detects suspicious behavior and isolates threats at source.
• XDR (Extended Detection & Response): extends detection coverage to the entire information system: workstations, servers, cloud, messaging, identities and network.
• SIEM (Security Information and Event Management): centralizes all security logs and events for analysis and correlation, to identify coordinated or advanced attacks.
  IT Systèmes' managed SOC combines these three building blocks in an integrated approach: EDR for detection, SIEM for correlation and SOC for analysis and human response.

How does 24/7 monitoring work? Our SOC operates continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.Detection tools collect events in real time, and our analysts maintain a constant watch, day and night.When an alert is generated, it is immediately assessed: technical analysis, verification of the impacted perimeter, identification of the risk and decision to take action.On-call teams can intervene remotely to isolate a workstation, block an account or initiate remediation. This permanent availability ensures that threats are dealt with instantly, even when they occur outside working hours - a critical point, as the majority of cyber-attacks occur in the evening or at weekends.

When an alert is received, it follows a three-stage process: analysis, investigation and remediation.

1. Initial analysis: analysts assess the nature of the alert and its criticality, based on data provided by EDR/XDR and SIEM.
2. In-depth investigation: if it's a real threat, a root cause investigation is carried out: identification of the attack vector, the affected perimeter and the malicious actions observed.
3. Remediation and containment: we isolate affected systems, block suspicious connections, remove malware and support your in-house teams in restoration.
   Each confirmed alert is then the subject of a documented report, including actions taken and recommendations to prevent the risk reappearing.

Yes, entirely.
Our SOC is operated from our centers located in France, and our supervision infrastructures are hosted on French territory.
No logging, alert or correlation data is transferred outside the European Union.
This approach guarantees the sovereignty, confidentiality and regulatory compliance of the data processed.
This is a major differentiating factor: many managed SOCs on the market are operated abroad or rely on offshore subcontractors - at IT Systèmes, all analysis remains French and controlled.

The SOC IT Systèmes integrates seamlessly into your existing ecosystem.
We connect your security tools, firewalls, servers, Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, EDR/XDR solutions and network equipment to the SIEM for complete visibility.
This integration is gradual and transparent: no sudden replacements, no service interruptions.
We work directly with your in-house teams and service providers to build a monitoring system tailored to your organization and operational constraints.

The SOC contributes directly to compliance with numerous regulatory frameworks:

• RGPD: traceability of access, detection of security incidents and reporting in the event of data leakage.
• ISO 27001: continuous monitoring and improvement of security systems.
• NIS2: obligation for vital operators and essential entities to detect and respond to incidents.
• DORA: secure and operationally resilient financial systems.
  Our SOC reports and incident logs provide proof of compliance for audits and controls.

The benefits are many and measurable:

• Reduced detection time: threats are identified in real time, rather than over several days.
• Reduced reaction time: our teams intervene immediately, limiting the operational and financial impact.
• Global monitoring: workstations, servers, cloud, messaging and networks are all supervised from a central point.
• Permanent human expertise: our analysts interpret weak signals and act before an alert becomes an incident.
• Enhanced compliance: your regulatory obligations are covered and documented.
• Increased visibility: you have access to dashboards, monthly reports and regular steering committees to manage your security posture.
  In short, the IT Systems SOC transforms your security from a reactive approach to a proactive, managed model, based on human expertise and continuous supervision.
