Managed SIEM & SOC-as-a-Service
Managed SIEM & Threat Detection
Real-time visibility. 24/7 detection. Expert response.
What It Is
Continuous threat detection without a full-time SOC team
A Security Information and Event Management system collects and correlates log data from across your environment — endpoints, servers, network devices, cloud services, and applications — and applies detection rules and threat intelligence to identify malicious or anomalous activity in real time.
This service is delivered via our partner xysec.io, a specialist managed security operations provider. lil.business handles the scoping, onboarding coordination, and ongoing advisory relationship with your team. You get 24/7 SOC coverage without hiring a security team.
Service Coverage
What the service includes
Four core capabilities, running continuously from day one of operations.
24/7 Log Ingestion & Correlation
Logs from endpoints, firewalls, cloud platforms, and SaaS applications are ingested continuously. The SIEM correlates events across sources to surface patterns that individual alerts would miss.
AU-Based Threat Intelligence Feeds
Detection rules are enriched with Australian-context threat intelligence, including ACSC threat data and APAC-specific indicators of compromise. Threats targeting Australian organisations are prioritised.
Incident Alerting Within 15 Minutes
When a confirmed security incident is detected, your nominated contact receives an alert within 15 minutes, with a summary of the event, affected assets, and recommended immediate actions.
Monthly Threat Reports
A written monthly report covering detected events, alert volumes, any confirmed incidents, and a summary of threat activity relevant to your industry sector over the reporting period.
Who It Is For
Built for SMBs that carry real risk
Managed SIEM is not only for large enterprise. Any organisation that stores sensitive data, operates under regulatory obligations, or cannot afford the operational disruption of a breach has a legitimate need for continuous threat visibility.
Compliance-Driven Organisations
SMBs working towards ISO 27001 certification or ASD Essential Eight maturity require demonstrable logging and monitoring capability. Managed SIEM directly satisfies these control requirements.
Businesses Handling Sensitive Data
Professional services firms, healthcare providers, and finance businesses that process personal or confidential data need to detect unauthorised access attempts before they become notifiable data breaches.
Regulated Industries
Healthcare organisations subject to the Australian Privacy Act, legal firms with client confidentiality obligations, and financial services businesses regulated by ASIC or APRA all benefit from documented monitoring capability.
How It Works
Three steps to continuous coverage
No complex procurement. No months-long implementation. A structured onboarding that gets you to monitored status as quickly as your environment allows.
Step 1
Scope
A scoping call with lil.business to document your environment: log sources, cloud services, endpoints, network devices, and compliance requirements. This determines the correct SIEM configuration and monthly pricing. No commitment required at this stage.
Step 2
Onboard
Log sources are connected and collection agents deployed where required. Detection rules are tuned to your environment to reduce noise. A baseline of normal activity is established. Typical onboarding takes two to four weeks depending on environment complexity.
Step 3
Monitor
The SOC operates continuously. You receive a monthly threat report, incident alerts as they arise, and an annual review of detection coverage. Changes to your environment are communicated to the SOC team to keep monitoring current.
FAQ
Common questions
What logs does it monitor?
The SIEM ingests logs from Windows and Linux endpoints, Microsoft 365 and Azure AD audit logs, firewall and network device syslogs, cloud infrastructure event logs (AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity), and supported SaaS applications. The exact source list is confirmed during scoping. If you run a specific platform, ask during the scoping call whether it is supported.
How long does onboarding take?
Onboarding typically takes two to four weeks from contract signature to monitored status. Simpler environments with fewer log sources can be onboarded faster. Environments with on-premises infrastructure, legacy systems, or a large number of distinct log sources will take longer. The scoping call produces a realistic onboarding timeline for your specific situation.
What happens during an incident?
When the SOC confirms a security incident, your nominated contact receives an alert within 15 minutes. The alert includes a summary of the detected event, the affected assets, the assessed severity, and recommended immediate actions. For high-severity incidents, a SOC analyst is available to walk through the event with your team. The incident is documented in your monthly report with full timeline and recommendations.
Is this suitable for small teams?
Yes. The service is designed for organisations without a dedicated security operations function. You do not need an internal SOC team or security analyst to receive value from managed SIEM. A nominated technical contact is needed to receive alerts and coordinate response — this can be your IT manager, MSP, or a senior business owner. The monthly report is written to be understood by non-technical stakeholders as well as technical staff.
