Certified Security Operations Center

Certified Security Operations Center GmbH (CSOC) is a German cybersecurity company that delivers Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) to businesses monitoring both IT and OT environments. Its services are run from a physically staffed 24x7 operations centre in Germany, with reported incident response times of under five minutes for security incidents. The company is headquartered in Bornheim near Bonn.

CSOC's portfolio spans managed detection and response (MDR), incident response combined with digital forensics (DFIR), vulnerability management, and security services for industrial control systems and OT environments. Detection work is carried out by SIREN, a proprietary AI system for real-time threat analysis, which operates alongside experienced human security analysts. The company states that its security solutions are designed for transparency and auditability, built on open-source technologies to avoid vendor lock-in.

Operations are conducted exclusively from German data centres under German law, with no access from third countries and GDPR compliance. CSOC's stated emphasis on digital sovereignty, and its combination of automated detection with human expertise, underpin its approach to protecting industrial and manufacturing clients as well as businesses requiring IT and OT security monitoring.
