Onboarding That Works With Your Business, Not Against It

Switching SOC providers shouldn’t mean starting over. With Vancord, onboarding is smooth, fast, and doesn’t require changing your existing tools. We support Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, Sentinel, Elastic, and more. From day one, our team takes the lead-from setup to policy tuning, so you don’t have to.

FAQs – Everything You Need to Know About Getting Started

  • We do both. Vancord filters, triages, and escalates only the alerts that matter. You’ll still have visibility, but we reduce noise and handle response actions as defined.
  • Most clients are fully onboarded in under 30 days. The timeline depends on the complexity of your environment, but we handle the heavy lifting. We begin with discovery, align on goals, integrate into your systems, and train your team. Every phase is structured and documented.
  • No. We’re tech-agnostic and work within your current setup. We believe in flexibility, not forcing you into a new platform.
  • Typically, we require secure, read-only access to endpoints, logs, and APIs. Access is limited, encrypted, and fully auditable.
  • Just fill out the form above. We’ll set up a call to review your needs, answer questions, and create your onboarding plan.
