SOC Implementation Workspace
One workspace to move from concept to operational capability. Complete each module; Compass calculates readiness and builds the implementation picture.
Define the site, threat environment, critical assets, operating hours and security model.
Configure operator positions, video wall, dispatch, access control, crisis capability and resilience.
Build the control register for CCTV, VMS, ACS, radio, GPS, alarms, servers and backup systems.
Calculate 24/7 operator requirements, supervisors, relief factor and shift coverage.
Track the SOP set needed to operate the SOC consistently and defensibly.
Define threat monitoring, logistics corridors, escalation thresholds and reporting cadence.
Score governance, people, technology, procedures, communications, response and resilience.
Convert gaps into prioritised actions with owner, due date and delivery status.
Operational Profile
Define the operating requirement before designing the room or buying technology.
SOC Architecture Builder
Select the capabilities required inside the control room. The objective is an operational system, not simply a room full of screens.
Primary monitoring and incident management positions.
Shared situational awareness and priority camera display.
Dedicated radio console and response dispatch capability.
Live ACS monitoring, exceptions and remote gate support.
Dedicated position for major incident / crisis coordination.
UPS, backup communications, failover and alternate control location.
Technology & Systems Register
Record the systems the SOC must monitor or control. Status feeds directly into readiness.
| System | Requirement | Status | Coverage / Quantity | Owner / Vendor |
|---|
SOC Manning Calculator
Calculate sustainable coverage rather than staffing only the visible seats. Relief factor accounts for leave, training, sickness and rotation.
SOC Procedure Set
A control room becomes operational when the team knows exactly what to do, when to escalate and how to record it.
Intelligence Integration
Define what the SOC must monitor beyond the fence line and how intelligence changes operational decisions.
SOC Readiness Review
Score the capability against seven operational pillars. Use the result to prioritise implementation rather than treating readiness as a binary state.
