EmilyAI — Your first analyst

AI-augmented since 2018.
Everyone else started last year.

EmilyAI is the AI triage layer inside every SOC in a Box. She pre-processes and enriches every alert before it reaches your human analyst — reducing noise, accelerating classification, and ensuring human attention is focused on genuine threats rather than false positives.

Most vendors launched their "AI-powered" security products in 2023 or 2024. EmilyAI has been in continuous production since 2018 — trained on eight years of real incidents across hundreds of environments, not a marketing dataset.

Every alert she's seen makes your next one faster. That's not a roadmap feature. That's eight years of compounding advantage.

SMB Data Loss Prevention New

DLP isn't just for
enterprises any more.

Data Loss Prevention has always been positioned as an enterprise tool — complex to configure, expensive to licence, and impossible to manage without a dedicated security team. SMBs handle the same sensitive data — client records, financial information, employee PII — but were told the tooling wasn't for them.

SOC in a Box now includes DLP capability designed specifically for organisations with 10–100 endpoints. Pre-configured policies for common SMB data types, monitored by your named analyst, with EmilyAI reducing false positives to near zero.

No separate licence. No separate console. No separate invoice. It's inside the box.

What SMB DLP covers

Sensitive data classification
Automatic detection and tagging of PII, financial records, health data, and legal privilege across endpoints and cloud storage — O365, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Workspace.
Exfiltration monitoring
Real-time alerts when sensitive data moves to USB devices, personal email, file sharing services, or unapproved cloud destinations. EmilyAI distinguishes legitimate workflows from data theft.
Email & messaging controls
Monitor outbound email, Teams, and Slack for sensitive attachments or content patterns. Policy-based alerts — no blocking that disrupts your team, just visibility and analyst review.
Pre-built SMB policy templates
GDPR personal data, SRA client confidentiality, FCA financial records, NHS patient data, PCI cardholder data — all pre-configured and tuned to your sector during onboarding.
Insider threat detection
Behavioural baseline for each user, built by EmilyAI over time. Unusual access patterns, bulk downloads, or off-hours data movement trigger analyst review — not automated lockouts.
Board-ready DLP reporting
Monthly data risk summary included in your Confidence Score report. Where your sensitive data lives, how it moves, and what your analyst did about anomalies — in plain English.
Active Cyber Defence

We don't just watch.
We hunt.

Most "managed security" services are passive — they wait for an alert, then react. SOC in a Box includes active cyber defence as standard. Your named analyst and EmilyAI don't sit waiting for something to trigger a rule. They actively hunt for threats, monitor your attack surface from the outside in, and scan the dark web for your exposed credentials and data — before an attacker uses them.

This is the difference between a burglar alarm and a security patrol. The alarm waits for the break-in. The patrol prevents it.

Threat Hunting Service
Your analyst proactively searches for indicators of compromise across your environment — not waiting for automated alerts, but actively looking for adversary techniques, living-off-the-land activity, and dormant threats that rules alone would miss.
Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous scanning of dark web marketplaces, paste sites, and criminal forums for your organisation's credentials, domains, client data, and intellectual property. When your data surfaces, your analyst alerts you and initiates containment — before the attacker makes their move.
Attack Surface Management
Continuous discovery and monitoring of your external-facing assets — domains, subdomains, exposed services, cloud infrastructure, and shadow IT. Your analyst sees what an attacker would see and closes gaps before they're exploited. Updated continuously, not annually.
Active Remediation
When a threat is confirmed, your analyst doesn't just send you a ticket — they act. Isolating compromised endpoints, blocking malicious IPs, disabling compromised accounts, and containing lateral movement. Response workflows built into the SOC, not bolted on afterwards.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning, EPSS-prioritised risk scoring, and analyst-authored remediation guidance. Not just a list of CVEs — a prioritised action plan that tells you what to fix first and why, written by someone who understands your environment.
Cyber Liability Insurance Included

Certification. Insurance.
Included in the box.

Every SOC in a Box deployment includes Cyber Essentials consulting and certification at no extra cost. Once you achieve your Cyber Essentials certification, you automatically qualify for the government-backed Cyber Liability Insurance scheme — and we include that too.

That means your box doesn't just monitor your network and protect your data — it certifies your security posture and insures you against cyber incidents. Certification, monitoring, and insurance in a single monthly payment.

For organisations that need deeper assurance, Cyber Essentials Plus is available for a small additional fee — adding hands-on technical verification of your controls.

What's included

Cyber Essentials Certification
Full consulting, audit preparation, and certification included with every deployment. No separate consultancy fee. We guide you through the process and handle the audit.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Once certified, the government-backed Cyber Liability Insurance is included — providing cover against cyber incidents. Protection and insurance from the same box.
Cyber Essentials Plus Optional
Hands-on technical verification of your controls for organisations that need the higher-level certification. Available for a small additional fee.
Confidence Score for Insurers
Your monthly Confidence Score report provides exactly the evidence cyber insurers and brokers look for — demonstrable continuous monitoring, analyst coverage, and a clear security posture. Many clients report meaningful premium reductions on their existing policies.

Concierge Service Optional

We come to you.
You don't lift a finger.

The standard SOC in a Box deployment is genuinely simple — plug in, call us, live within the hour. But if you'd rather not think about it at all, our Concierge Service means a Cyber Defence engineer comes to your premises for two to three days and handles everything.

This isn't just installation. It's a consultative on-site engagement. Your engineer walks your environment, inspects your network topology first-hand, identifies shadow IT, tunes detections to things they can physically see, and delivers a security workshop to your team before they leave. By the time they walk out the door, you're fully operational, fully tuned, and your staff understand exactly what's protecting them.

The relationship starts face-to-face. Everything after that is seamless.

Ask about Concierge

What's included in the on-site visit

Day 1
Arrival & Environment Assessment
Your engineer arrives on-site, physically inspects your network infrastructure, documents your topology, identifies shadow IT and unmanaged devices, and installs and connects the appliance. By end of day one, data is flowing to the SOC.
Day 2
Tuning & Configuration
Detection rules tuned to your specific baseline. DecoyPulse deception sensors deployed in optimal positions. DLP policies configured for your data types. Your named analyst introduced and briefed on everything the engineer has observed.
Day 3
Workshop & Handover
A security awareness workshop for your team — tailored to your environment, not generic slides. Your Confidence Score dashboard walked through with your leadership. Full handover documentation delivered. You're fully operational, fully tuned, and fully briefed.

Available on any plan

Concierge is an optional add-on for any Small, Medium, or Large deployment. Pricing confirmed during your scoping call based on location and environment complexity. UK mainland travel included.

“
We were told by three other vendors that we were “too small” for a managed SOC. Cyber Defence sent us a box. It arrived on a Tuesday. By Thursday, we were being monitored 24/7 by a named analyst who already knew our network. We've never slept better.

SOC as a Saving

Not the cost of a SOC.
The cost of not having one.

A data breach involving personal records carries an average ICO fine of £8,000–£175,000 for small organisations. The average UK small business breach costs £15,300 in direct expenses alone. Factor in three weeks of lost productivity, reputational damage, and client attrition — the true cost becomes incalculable.

SOC in a Box costs less per day than a round of coffees for your team. It comes with a named analyst whose job is to prevent the breach from ever happening — and now includes DLP to stop your sensitive data leaving in the first place.

The alternative costs

Average UK SMB breach cost £15,300
Average ICO fine range £8k–£175k
Lost business during recovery Incalculable
SOC in a Box — per day From 39p/asset

SOC in a Box — Small

Up to 25 assets

£335/month

Frequently asked questions

Most organisations can consolidate standalone EDR/antivirus, managed firewall, vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, annual pen test costs, and Cyber Essentials certification fees. Your scoping call will map your current stack and confirm exactly which subscriptions SOC in a Box replaces in your specific environment.

EmilyAI is our AI triage layer that pre-processes and enriches every security alert before it reaches your human analyst. It has been in continuous production since 2018 — eight years of real-world incident data across hundreds of environments. It eliminates approximately 92% of noise, ensuring your named analyst focuses on genuine threats.

SMB Data Loss Prevention includes sensitive data classification across endpoints and cloud storage (O365, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Workspace), exfiltration monitoring for USB, email, and unapproved cloud services, pre-built policy templates for GDPR, SRA, FCA, NHS, and PCI data types, insider threat detection via behavioural baselines, and DLP-specific reporting in your monthly Confidence Score. All monitored by your named analyst with EmilyAI reducing false positives.

Five working days from scoping call to fully operational 24/7 monitoring. Physical appliances ship next-day UK mainland. Virtual appliances are available for download within one hour. The go-live process takes less than one hour once connected.

No. SOC in a Box runs the identical SOC365 detection engine, threat intelligence feeds, DecoyPulse deception sensors, EmilyAI triage, and analyst team used by our enterprise clients — including MoD supply chain contractors. The only difference is the sensor runs locally on your premises.

Monthly billing. No setup fees. Cancel anytime. We believe in earning your trust every month — not locking you into long-term contracts.

Active Cyber Defence goes beyond passive monitoring. It includes proactive threat hunting by your named analyst, active remediation (isolating endpoints, blocking malicious IPs, disabling compromised accounts), dark web monitoring for your credentials and data, continuous attack surface management of your external-facing assets, and vulnerability management with EPSS-prioritised risk scoring. The difference is between a burglar alarm that waits and a security patrol that prevents.

Our threat intelligence team continuously scans dark web marketplaces, paste sites, criminal forums, and data breach dumps for your organisation's credentials, email addresses, domains, client data, and intellectual property. When your data surfaces, your named analyst alerts you immediately and initiates containment measures — such as forcing password resets or blocking compromised accounts — before the attacker can act on the exposure.

Attack Surface Management continuously discovers and monitors your external-facing assets — domains, subdomains, exposed services, cloud infrastructure, and shadow IT that you may not even know exists. Your analyst sees your organisation exactly as an attacker would from the outside and works to close gaps before they can be exploited. Unlike an annual pen test, this runs continuously and updates as your environment changes.

Yes. Every SOC in a Box deployment includes Cyber Essentials consulting and certification at no extra cost. Once you achieve Cyber Essentials certification — which we guide you through — you automatically qualify for the government-backed Cyber Liability Insurance scheme, and we include that cover as part of your service. You also receive your monthly Confidence Score report, which provides the evidence many commercial cyber insurers look for when assessing premiums on your existing policies, often resulting in meaningful reductions.

The Concierge Service is an optional add-on available on any plan. A Cyber Defence engineer comes to your premises for two to three days to handle the entire deployment. Day one covers physical environment assessment, network inspection, and appliance installation. Day two covers detection tuning, deception sensor deployment, and DLP configuration. Day three includes a tailored security awareness workshop for your team, a Confidence Score dashboard walkthrough with your leadership, and full handover documentation. UK mainland travel is included and pricing is confirmed during your scoping call.
