1 Cybersecurity Architecture Assessment & Strategy

  • Lead a full end-to-end evaluation of the organization's existing SIEM architecture, SOC operations, and IR capabilities.
  • Assess effectiveness across people, processes, and technology, identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities for enhancement.
  • Benchmark current cybersecurity maturity against industry standards (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CK).
  • Develop a prioritized roadmap for SIEM/SOC/IR optimization and modernization.

2. SIEM Optimization & Enhancement

  • Redesign SIEM architecture and data ingestion strategy to improve visibility, performance, and event fidelity.
  • Enhance log parsing, normalization, enrichment, and ingestion from critical sources (cloud, endpoints, identity, OT/ICS, network, and security tools).
  • Refine correlation logic, detection use cases, and alert tuning methodologies to reduce false positives and increase detection accuracy.
  • Implement advanced detection techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, including custom rules, dashboards, and analytics.
  • Establish SIEM governance processes, rule-tuning standards, and performance optimization practices.

3. SOC Maturity Improvement & Operational Excellence

  • Conduct a deep review of SOC workflows, tiered responsibilities, shift coverage, and tooling integration.
  • Redesign triage and escalation workflows to improve response efficiency and adherence to SLAs.
  • Enhance tool interoperability (SIEM, SOAR, ticketing, TIP, EDR) to streamline end-to-end detection and response.
  • Develop or refine IR playbooks for priority incident types (phishing, malware, insider threat, cloud compromise, etc.).
  • Lead SOC modernization initiatives including automation, orchestration, and analyst enablement.

4. Incident Response Uplift

  • Evaluate and enhance incident response strategies, containment approaches, escalation paths, and communication flows.
  • Conduct tabletop exercises, technical simulations, and scenario-based training to improve analyst readiness.
  • Improve coordination across IT, security, compliance, and risk teams during incident handling.
  • Advise leadership on best practices, emerging threats, and enterprise IR preparedness.

5. Implementation Leadership & Delivery

  • Drive the successful implementation of all improvements identified during the assessment phase.
  • Manage cross-functional workstreams, ensuring timely delivery of SIEM/SOC enhancements.
  • Ensure all changes align with cybersecurity best practices, compliance requirements, and business objectives.
  • Track progress using KPIs such as MTTD, MTTR, correlation accuracy, false-positive rates, and detection coverage.
