SOC INVESTIGATION & RESPONSE

From first observation
to a reviewed outcome.

Detect, investigate, mitigate, contain and recover—with evidence, analyst decisions and response tracking through the case.

THE FIVE-STAGE LIFECYCLE

Follow the case.
Understand each decision.

Select a stage to explore what the analyst reviews. This is a conceptual walkthrough of the response process.

DETECT / CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

Start with the observation.

Review the signal and its available evidence before deciding what needs attention.

Evidence to review: Observation, source and initial context
Analyst decision: Triage the signal and identify the next question

INVESTIGATE / CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

Build a defensible explanation.

Connect observations with relevant context. Keep AI-assisted interpretation separate from deterministic checks and analyst conclusions.

Evidence to review: Related observations, context and investigation notes
Analyst decision: Assess the explanation and identify missing evidence

MITIGATE / CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

Consider the available response.

Review the proposed measures, their scope and the policy considerations that affect the decision.

Evidence to review: Proposed mitigation, rationale and review status
Analyst decision: Decide what is appropriate and what requires approval

CONTAIN / CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

Track the containment decision.

Record the decision, approval and action status. A recommendation or approval does not establish that an external system executed an action.

Evidence to review: Approval, action status and recorded outcome
Analyst decision: Confirm authorisation and check the reported result

RECOVER / CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

Review the outcome and retain evidence.

Follow recovery status and preserve the evidence needed to understand the case and the decisions made along the way.

Evidence to review: Recovery status, case record and supporting evidence
Analyst decision: Review closure and carry forward relevant lessons

Illustrative workflow. These controls explain the process; they do not connect to live systems or execute response actions.

BEFORE AN ACTION IS TAKEN

Separate the recommendation
from the result.

Review the proposal

Understand the evidence, rationale and scope of a proposed response.

Record the decision

Keep the analyst’s judgement, policy review and approval state with the case.

Check action status

Track the recorded outcome. Do not treat an approval as proof of execution in a vendor system.

Start with the questions
your analysts face.

What do we know? What evidence is missing? Which response is appropriate? Who needs to approve it? What outcome has been recorded?

A guided walkthrough can follow these questions across investigation and response. The specific connectors and actions in scope are agreed separately.
