MSSP Services 24/7 Managed Security Operations
Turnkey cybersecurity operations -- SOC monitoring, SIEM correlation, endpoint detection, threat hunting, and compliance reporting -- managed by U.S.-based analysts with 25+ years of experience. Enterprise-grade defense without the seven-figure payroll.
Managed Security vs. Managed IT
Your MSP manages IT infrastructure. An MSSP is purpose-built for threat detection, incident response, and compliance.
What an MSSP Delivers
- 24/7/365 staffed Security Operations Center with certified analysts
- Full SIEM with ML correlation, behavioral baselines, and threat-intel enrichment
- Endpoint detection and response across all servers and workstations
- Proactive threat hunting and vulnerability management
What a Traditional MSP Covers
- IT uptime, patching, helpdesk, and backups
- Business-hours-only monitoring (if any security monitoring at all)
- Basic antivirus with no behavioral detection or alert investigation
- Annual compliance checkbox rather than continuous security posture
What Our MSSP Practice Delivers
Unified security operations that close the talent gap, replace fragmented tools, and convert compliance into a continuous process.
24/7 SOC Monitoring
Continuous monitoring by certified analysts -- not just automated alerts forwarded to your team.
Managed SIEM
Log ingestion, normalization, correlation, and real-time alerting across your entire infrastructure.
Incident Response
Rapid containment, forensic investigation, root cause analysis, and recovery coordination.
Compliance Reporting
Automated evidence generation mapped to CMMC, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, SOC 2, and NIST frameworks.
Dark Web Monitoring
Credential and data exposure surveillance across dark web markets and breach databases.
Threat Intelligence
Commercial feeds, CISA advisories, and industry ISACs integrated into your detection pipeline.
In-House Security vs. MSSP
$1M+ Annual SOC Cost
Staffing 8-12 analysts at $90K-$150K each plus infrastructure and tooling.
Fragmented Point Solutions
Disconnected tools with no unified visibility across your attack surface.
Compliance Scramble
Annual panic to gather evidence and prepare for audits.
Fraction of the Cost
Enterprise-grade coverage shared across our client base at a predictable monthly fee.
Unified Security Platform
Single pane of glass across endpoints, network, cloud, and identity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MSSP?
A Managed Security Service Provider assumes responsibility for your security operations on a continuous, outsourced basis -- 24/7 monitoring, detection, analysis, and incident response by a dedicated security team.
How is an MSSP different from an MSP?
An MSP manages IT infrastructure (patching, helpdesk, backups). An MSSP is purpose-built for cybersecurity: threat detection, incident response, SOC operations, and compliance. Most MSPs do not have the specialized staff or tools for real security monitoring.
How much does MSSP service cost compared to building an in-house SOC?
A fully burdened in-house SOC exceeds $1M annually before the first alert is triaged. Our MSSP delivers equivalent or superior coverage at a predictable monthly fee that is a fraction of that cost. Contact us for a custom quote.
What compliance frameworks do you support?
CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, SOC 2, and state privacy regulations. Our reporting maps directly to each framework's requirements.
Do you work with our existing security tools?
Yes. We integrate with your existing firewalls, EDR, identity providers, cloud platforms, and ticketing systems. We do not require you to rip and replace your current stack.
Where are your analysts located?
All PTG security analysts are U.S.-based, operating from our Raleigh, NC headquarters. Founded in 2002 by Craig Petronella, a NC Licensed Digital Forensics Examiner and CMMC Certified Registered Practitioner.
