AGCG white paper – Towards a living SOC
Towards a living SOC: AGCG SCE (SOC Continuous Evolution) methodology
In this white paper, AGCG puts forward a new way to think about the Security Operations Center: not as a one-off technical project, but as a living capability managed over time. Building on our proprietary SCE – SOC Continuous Evolution methodology, we show how to align the SOC with business risks, clarify expectations and commitments, and organise continuous evolution.
The document covers, among others: the concept of a living SOC, the role of the meta kill chain in linking business risks, attack paths and detection, the formalisation of a SOC contract that executives can actually read, and the implementation of short-, mid- and long-term improvement cycles. It is designed for Executive Committees, CIOs, CISOs and SOC leaders who want to transform a cost centre into a genuine strategic defence asset.
