Outsourced cybersecurity

Outsourced cybersecurity department: the whole team, without building it

An outsourced cybersecurity department is your complete security function, but without building or sustaining it in-house: a team of senior profiles and specialists that implements, operates, monitors and responds, integrated with your people and with the dedication your situation calls for. It is also called outsourced cybersecurity, external security team or cybersecurity outsourcing. You have the entire function from day one, without the fixed cost or the months it takes to set it up.

A complete team with every specialty, not one person for everything, across all of Spain.

Why

Security needs a team

Building a cybersecurity function in-house is expensive, slow and hard to sustain. Most companies do not need to build the department: they need to have it.

One profile is not enough

Security demands many hands and different specialties, not a single technician doing everything halfway.

Hiring is slow and expensive

Finding and retaining security profiles costs time and money, and the market is almost empty.

The work never ends

Security is a day-to-day matter, not a project that gets closed. Without continuity, what was achieved falls apart.

No coverage gaps

A sick day, some vacation or someone leaving cannot leave your security with no one at the helm.

What it covers

A complete security function

It is not a one-off task. It is the complete security function, from implementing to responding, running continuously.

Implementation

We put the controls and measures in place, we do not just recommend them. From paper to reality.

Day-to-day operation

Everyday security: access, configurations, patches and everything that needs constant upkeep.

Continuous monitoring

We monitor with Sondriva, our SOC, to spot what is off before it becomes a problem.

Incident response

When something happens, the same team acts, contains it and gets you out of the bind, without improvising in the heat of the moment.

Compliance and audits

We keep your standards alive, from ISO 27001 to the ENS, and we prepare the audits.

Awareness and third parties

We train your people and coordinate your suppliers, because security is everyone's business.

The model

Your department, turnkey

We give you a team that works as your cybersecurity department: with senior profiles and specialists, integrated with your people and with the dedication your situation calls for. You do not build the function or carry the fixed cost of a complete team: you have it from day one and it adjusts to each stage of your company.

And it coordinates with whoever leads. The CISO as a Service sets the direction and the department provides the hands: one decides and the other executes. You can have both or only what you are missing, always built on the master plan that sets out where to start.

Versus building it

Build the function in-house or have it ready

Building your own security department is a major investment, and not always the right one. This is how the difference looks.

Building it in-house

Hiring several profiles that are hard to find, training them, retaining them and covering their absences, with a high fixed cost before you see the first result. And months until you are at full capacity.

Outsourced department

A complete team operating from day one, with every specialty under one roof and the dedication you need. You scale up or down with your moment, without hiring or firing, and your people focus on the business instead of putting out fires.

How it fits

However your team needs it

It is not all or nothing. We adapt to what you already have and to what you are missing.

As your complete function

If you do not have a security team, we are your department from start to finish.

As reinforcement for yours

If you already have people, we add the hands and specialties you are missing.

For a specific peak

A project, a certification or an incident that calls for more capacity for a while.

Growing with you

We start with the essentials and scale as your risk and your company grow.

When

When you need a department

You have no team

Security is handled by whoever can, in spare moments and among other things, and it falls short of what is needed.

Your team cannot keep up

You have people, but they lack hands or specialties and are always putting out fires.

You certify or it is required of you

You are going for ISO 27001 or the ENS, or a client asks for a level of security that has to be maintained.

After a scare

An incident has made it clear that security needs constant dedication, not a one-off fix.

Continuous improvement

We review, measure and raise the bar, because security never ends, it is maintained.

It fits with

It does not work alone

The department is the muscle, but it does not act blindly. It is led by a CISO as a Service if you need a head, it executes the master plan that sets the direction and it draws on the risk assessment to know where to start.

And it has the whole catalog on hand: real-time monitoring with Sondriva, our SOC, offensive testing such as the pentest to check that what was implemented holds up, and the relationship with your standards, from ISO 27001 to the ENS.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is an outsourced cybersecurity department?+

It is your complete security function delivered as a service: a team of senior profiles and specialists that implements, operates, monitors and responds, instead of building and maintaining the department in-house. It is also called outsourced cybersecurity, external security team or cybersecurity outsourcing.

How is it different from CISO as a Service?+

The CISO as a Service is the head: it leads, decides and is accountable. The department is the hands: it implements, operates and monitors. You can have one, the other or both, because the CISO sets the direction and the department executes it.

Does it replace my team or complement it?+

Whatever you need. If you do not have a security team, we are your department from start to finish; if you already have one, we add the hands and specialties you are missing.

Is it suitable for an SME?+

It is where it fits best. Few SMEs can build and maintain a complete security function, but almost all of them need it. The outsourced model puts that function in place with the dedication it calls for.

Does it include monitoring and incident response?+

Yes. Continuous monitoring is handled by Sondriva, our SOC, and when something comes up, the same team responds and contains it, without having to call a third party.

Do I lose control of my security by outsourcing it?+

No. You keep visibility and the decisions that matter; we run the day-to-day operation and report it back to you, with a CISO as a Service that is accountable if you need it. Outsourcing cybersecurity is not letting go of it, it is putting it in good hands.
