Cloud SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC)
Address security vulnerabilities and concerns with cloud SOC services
Organizations are facing increasing external threats to their data security. There is a cyberattack in the US every 39 seconds. Breaches cost millions of dollars and have negative reputational impacts.
Many organizations are struggling to keep up with the ongoing challenges caused by more creative hackers and pervasive attacks. Tech labor shortages, increases in connected devices, rushed product releases, and changing regulations are just some of the challenges that those responsible for protecting data are juggling simultaneously.
HGS Digital’s security professionals can work with you to ensure that your intellectual property, applications, and data are monitored, secure, compliant, and available. We work to fill security gaps, wherever they may be—now and as the landscape evolves.
Not only can we help to resist attacks, we can help manage breaches that have already happened. If your organization has fallen victim to malware or a deliberate attack, our knowledgeable customer service and social media teams can help you address stakeholder concerns and rebuild customer trust. With tens of thousands of professionals on staff, we go well beyond what a traditional IT outsourcer can do to get you back in business.
Cybercrime is on the rise; fight back on multiple levels
Most hackers and cyberattackers are driven by money, intellectual challenge, or political or social motivation
On average, 23.69% of Internet users' computers worldwide experienced at least one malware-class attack.
The average cost of lost or stolen records per individual is $141.
Over 7916 of the healthcare industry has been infected with malware over the last year.
Global ransomware damage costs are predicted to reach $20 billion by 2021.
Get next-level monitoring, response, management, and compliance
Our clients are not unmerited in their concerns around data security in an age when cyberattacks are growing in complexity and at an alarming rate. Fallout costs from data breaches are projected to reach $6 trillion USD by 2021. Beyond the initial impact, the hits that brands take as a result of those breaches affect growth and revenue for many years thereafter.
Customers want to feel confident that the information they share with your organization is protected. Once there is a breach in trust, they will not soon forget the risk and exposure that you caused them. But negative reverberations don’t stop at the individual level. Class-action lawsuits, cancelled contracts, bad press, and nervous and distracted employees are also common after an attack, unfortunately.
In a climate where social media prevail, even one user complaint about a breach can be shared with the masses, with long-lasting effect. Now, not only do you hear about a user’s dissatisfaction after a security breach but, thanks to social media platforms, the whole world can hear about it, too. Every time someone conducts a web search on your company, they will be able to read about the attack and see your response to it.
In an increasingly complex, connected, and user-centric world, it’s prudent to prevent and prepare for data breaches. Our team of seasoned security experts can secure your data, increase your resilience, protect your brand, and provide extra peace of mind.

Cybersecurity threats to enterprises: Surviving the rise of cyber crime
Our cybersecurity white paper explains how to improve data security, describes our security approach, and enables you to get to know us better.
SOC resources are at-the-ready to protect your assets
Our SOC is anchored on three pillars: people, technology, and processes. People are the brains behind the SOC, technology is the brawn, and processes tie the people and technology together.
Our people work 24/7 to understand the nuances of your business. Our cost-effective services are provided from the Philippines; however, we can travel for short-term, onsite projects.
The technology we rely on is segregated into endpoint security tools (e.g., anti-virus, patch management, web and email filters) and data loss prevention tools for protecting laptops, desktops, and servers.
We conduct vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) on critical systems to identify and mitigate any vulnerabilities. We also use security information and event management (SIEM) techniques to proactively monitor and correlate events to uncover suspicious network activities, forensics and reverse engineering to investigate incidents, intrusion prevention/detection systems (IPS/IDS) file integrity monitoring (FIM) tools to provide network perimeter defense, and firewall log analysis to monitor and authorize all traffic passing through the firewall.
The SOC’s back-end processes include governance, continual service improvement, escalation processes, and service management reporting to help you stay secure.
Our team certifications and industry compliances inspire confidence
We are ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, HIPAA, GLBA, SOC1/SOC2, GDPR, and PCI-DSS compliant. Our team continues to build skills and stay current on industry certifications, and we work actively with our clients to assess their readiness to attain compliance or certifications.
With the sharp rise in cybercrime, it pays to invest in resources who have the training and certifications that are most likely to ensure the security of your data.
