Cybersecurity is no longer just a “big company” problem. In fact, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are now the prime targets. Why? Because attackers know smaller companies often lack the same resources, teams, and budgets as enterprise giants. But that doesn’t mean they have to settle for second-best protection.

Enter the perfect pairing: a Security Operations Center (SOC) + a Fractional CISO.

This combo has quietly become the secret weapon for forward-thinking SMBs that want enterprise-grade security—without the enterprise-sized cost.

Why SMBs Are Under the Cybersecurity Microscope

Nearly half of all cyberattacks hit small businesses. But many still think they’re not big enough to be targeted. However, vulnerabilities are more important to hackers than a company’s size. An overlooked patch, an insecure password, or an unattended server is all it takes.

Unfortunately, most SMBs face:

  • No full-time security expert on payroll
  • Little to no monitoring after office hours
  • Generic antivirus solutions (at best)
  • Delayed responses during a breach

So, where do they turn? Increasingly, to outsourced security expertise that scales with their business.

What is a SOC (Security Operations Center)?

A SOC is like your digital command center. It monitors your systems, endpoints, networks, and cloud environments 24/7, scanning for threats in real-time. Think of it as your night guard, always watching—even when you’re not.

NetObjex’s Managed SOC services go beyond alerts:

  • We investigate threats deeply, not just flag them.
  • We neutralize issues before they escalate.
  • We give your team a break—no more burnout from false alarms.

And What’s a Fractional CISO?

Hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can cost upward of $200,000 per year—a steep ask for most SMBs.

A Fractional CISO offers the same strategic leadership but on a flexible, part-time basis. You get a seasoned security expert who:

  • Builds and enforces your security roadmap
  • Ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO27001
  • Advises your board or leadership team
  • Guides incident response and recovery

They’re your cybersecurity captain—without the full-time payroll burden.

Why This Combo Works: SOC + Fractional CISO

On their own, a Security Operations Center (SOC) and a Fractional CISO offer powerful support. But when combined, they deliver complete, round-the-clock cybersecurity for your business.

Here’s how they complement each other:

  • While the SOC monitors your systems 24/7, the Fractional CISO focuses on building a long-term security strategy tailored to your business.
  • As the SOC detects threats and stops them in real time, the CISO ensures your organization follows the right policies and stays compliant with regulations.
  • The SOC provides real-time visibility into suspicious activity, while the CISO translates those insights into executive decisions and risk management plans.

Simply put, the SOC guards your gates—and the CISO draws the map.

Together, they ensure your business is secure today and prepared for tomorrow.

Real Wins for SMBs

Let’s break it down:

  • 24/7 Protection: Your systems don’t sleep. Neither should your defense.
  • Expertise on Demand: Tap into CISO-level insights only when needed.
  • Scalability: As you scale, your security scales with you.
  • Regulatory Peace of Mind: Stay audit-ready without the stress.
  • Faster Incident Response: Cut down breach response time from days to minutes.

The best part is that you only have to pay for what you need.

Final Word

If you’re a growing business, you can’t afford to wait until “later” to build cybersecurity maturity. The stakes are too high.

But you also don’t need to do it alone—or overspend.

With a SOC + Fractional CISO model, SMBs now have the ability to protect, comply, scale, and respond like a large enterprise—without hiring an army.

This isn’t about playing defense. It’s about being strategically proactive.
