By Monday, the attacker has been in your environment for 60 hours. The staffing math explains why most mid-market firms outsource. A three-person internal SOC runs roughly $300K to $450K a year in salaries alone. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics put the median information security analyst wage at $120,360 in 2023, and you'd need three to cover shifts. That's before Splunk licensing, before training, before turnover. We've broken the full math down in our managed security services vs in-house TCO guide . Software-only works for sub-25 person shops with no compliance exposure. The moment SOC 2, HIPAA, or CMMC enters the conversation, software alone won't pass an audit. Auditors want evidence that someone reviewed the alerts. CrowdStrike Falcon Go sits around $59.99 per endpoint per year, but the tool can't write your incident response runbook. The 5 Core Cybersecurity Services and What Each Delivers MDR (Managed Detection and Response). 24/7 alert triage, threat hunting, and active containment. Tools deployed: CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne Singularity, or Microsoft Defender XDR. Pricing for mid-market: $15 to $40 per endpoint per month, depending on tier and EDR included. This is your front line against ransomware and phishing-driven account takeover. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. These aren't the same thing. Vulnerability scanning is automated and scheduled. Tenable Nessus Professional lists around $4,990 per year. Penetration testing is human-driven adversarial work, typically $15K to $45K for a focused engagement against external and internal scope. For more detail on scoping, see our penetration testing cost guide . SIEM and Log Management. Aggregates logs from firewalls, identity providers, endpoints, and cloud workloads. Required for SOC 2 CC7.1, which mandates detection of anomalies, and for HIPAA audit log review. Splunk for a mid-market client typically runs $2,000 to $5,000 a month on consumption pricing. Microsoft Sentinel is competitive if you're already on E5. Incident Response Retainer. Guaranteed SLA for breach response. Retainers run $15K to $50K a year and buy you contractual response time. Break-glass hourly is $300 to $500 an hour with no SLA, which is what you pay when you didn't plan ahead. CyberStar's IR SLA is on-site next business morning, written into the MSA, not the pitch deck. Compliance Advisory. Gap assessments, policy authoring, evidence collection, and auditor liaison for SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST CSF. This is distinct from the CPA firm that performs the SOC 2 attestation. Your advisor cannot also be your auditor. That separation matters. Matching Services to Company Size 50 to 100 employees, no compliance mandate. MDR plus endpoint protection plus an annual vulnerability scan. That's the minimum viable stack. Roughly $3K to $7K a month all-in. 100 to 250 employees, SOC 2 Type II in scope. Add SIEM, identity management (Okta Workforce Identity starts at $6 per user per month for SSO), and an IR retainer. Add a compliance automation platform like Drata or Vanta, $15K to $30K a year for a company your size. Our SOC 2 readiness playbook walks through what auditors actually ask for. 250 to 500 employees, HIPAA or CMMC in scope. Full MDR, SIEM, annual penetration test, compliance advisory retainer, and policy management. Add cloud security posture management for AWS or Azure workloads. Endpoint MDR doesn't cover your S3 buckets. Once your remote workforce crosses 30% of headcount, zero trust network access stops being a buzzword. NIST CSF PR.AC-3 requires that remote access be managed, and ZTNA is how you satisfy that control without standing up a legacy VPN concentrator. 7 Questions to Ask a Cybersecurity Vendor Before You Sign What"} · January 22, 2025

By the time a human notices, the domain controller's already gone. That gap is the entire case for a published IR SLA. Breakout times measured in minutes mean the decision that matters is made before the incident, when you choose whether someone is contractually obliged to be working your alert at 6pm on a Friday. That's the wedge. The Core Tech Stack Every Provider Should Deliver There's no single \"best\" stack. There are stacks that fit your risk profile, and stacks that don't. Here's what the shortlist looks like in 2025. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). CrowdStrike Falcon runs roughly $15 to $22 per endpoint per month depending on tier (Falcon Go, Pro, Enterprise). SentinelOne Singularity Core and Control tiers land around $12 to $20 per endpoint per month. Both use behavioural detection and rollback capabilities that legacy signature-based tools like older Sophos or Malwarebytes builds simply can't match. Sophos Intercept X with XDR is a reasonable middle option for SMBs, especially if you're already on their firewall line. Our full managed EDR buyer's guide breaks down the tier differences in more detail. Managed Detection and Response (MDR). EDR is the tool. MDR is the humans watching it at 2 a.m. Ask any provider: is your SOC in-house, co-managed with a partner like Arctic Wolf or Expel, or fully outsourced offshore? All three models can work. All three have different response profiles. Get it in writing. SIEM and log aggregation. Splunk Enterprise Security is the enterprise standard at roughly $150 per GB ingest, which prices out most sub-200-seat shops. For mid-market, lighter options like Microsoft Sentinel or Elastic Security bundled through a provider make more sense. Zero-trust architecture. Identity is the new perimeter. Okta at roughly $6 to $15 per user per month, or Microsoft Entra ID P2 bundled with your Microsoft 365, reduces the blast radius after any initial compromise. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access handles the network side for larger footprints. Zero-trust isn't a product, it's an architecture, but you need the identity control plane to make it work. Backup and disaster recovery (BDR). Veeam is the workhorse. Immutable backups combined with air-gapped or offline copies are the last line of defence when everything else fails. Veeam Data Platform licensing starts around $1,200 per year for small environments and scales from there. Immutable storage on Wasabi or a hardened S3 bucket with object lock is table stakes now, not a nice-to-have. Restoring from backup is only fast when the restore has been rehearsed against the systems that actually hold the records. The Sophos State of Ransomware 2024 report puts the median recovery time from backups at several days, and payment-driven recovery even longer. Tested backups aren't optional. Provider Evaluation by Industry Vertical Most vendor content treats a 75-seat manufacturer and a 2,000-seat bank identically. That's malpractice. Healthcare. The HIPAA Security Rule at 45 CFR ยง164.312 requires technical safeguards including access controls, audit controls, and integrity controls. Your provider must offer a HIPAA-compliant BAA, PHI-aware logging, and demonstrated experience with prior HIPAA audits. Both CrowdStrike and SentinelOne have HIPAA-eligible configurations, but you have to configure them correctly. This isn't a checkbox. Fina"} · January 15, 2025

Cybersecurity Insurance Requirements for Business (2024)

Compare Coalition, Chubb, and Travelers underwriting checklists. Get the 10 controls carriers demand, real tool prices, and how to pass renewal in 2024.

By 2023, endpoint detection and response (EDR) had replaced signature-based antivirus as the minimum. Mid-market applications from Chubb and Travelers started demanding privileged access management (PAM) and documented patch SLAs. According to the Coalition 2023 Cyber Claims Report , companies without MFA on email were 1.8x more likely to file a claim. 2024 has added network segmentation, third-party risk management reviews, and annual security awareness training to the standard checklist. Expect continuous vulnerability management scanning and zero-trust architecture controls to move from \"preferred\" to \"required\" by 2026. If you want a forward-looking view, our piece on cyber insurance requirements 2026 maps the trajectory. Insurer-by-Insurer Checklist: Coalition, Chubb, Travelers, AIG Every carrier has its own emphasis. Match your posture to the underwriter that already fits, and you'll save 15 to 30 percent versus applying blindly. Coalition (SMB-friendly, usage-based pricing): MFA everywhere, including email EDR on all endpoints (not standard AV) Email filtering with DMARC configured Tested backups with offsite copy Automated external scan runs during application. They will flag your open RDP ports before you submit. If you have RDP exposed to the internet, they'll decline you. Chubb (mid-market and enterprise): Everything Coalition requires, plus PAM controls for all admin accounts Formal vulnerability management programme with quarterly authenticated scans Documented patch SLAs (typically 14 to 30 days for criticals) Board-level security governance for policies above $5M Travelers: Network segmentation between IT, OT, and finance systems (they ask for a diagram) Annual third-party risk reviews with documented vendor questionnaires Documented incident response testing (tabletop or full simulation) in the last 12 months. A written plan alone isn't enough anymore. AIG CyberEdge: Heavy emphasis on business email compromise (BEC) controls DMARC enforcement at reject, not just monitor Security awareness training completion rates above 90 percent Documented wire-transfer verification procedure Practical tip: pull the applications before you renew. Every \"no\" answer is a gap in your programme, not just an insurance problem. The 10 Non-Negotiable Controls (With Real Prices) Here's the checklist I use with clients. Pricing is 2024 street pricing, not list. Multi-factor authentication on all remote access and admin accounts. Microsoft Entra ID (included in M365 Business Premium at $22/user/month) or Okta Workforce Identity ($6/user/month). SMS-based MFA is no longer accepted by Coalition or Chubb. Use an authenticator app or hardware key. Full detail in our MFA best practices guide. EDR on every endpoint. CrowdStrike Falcon Go ($59.99/device/year), SentinelOne Singularity Core ($69/device/year), or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 (~$5.20/user/month). Standard AV gets rejected. Underwriters want behavioural detection. Privileged access management. CyberArk ($85/user/month enterprise) or BeyondTrust Password Safe ($45/user/month). At minimum, kill shared admin credentials and rotate service account passwords. Email security with BEC controls. Proofpoint Essentials ($3/user/month) or Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 ($5/user/month). DMARC at p=reject, not p=none. Immutable, tested backups. Veeam Backup · November 14, 2024
