Co-Managed SOC Pricing 2026: Vendor + Customer Analyst Split
Co-managed SOC splits the work between the vendor and the customer. The customer typically runs a small L1 team during business hours and the vendor runs 24x7 across the rest of the clock. Pricing sits between Tier-1+2+3 and a fully-outsourced SOC, but the customer absorbs the L1 headcount.
$ 9 to $ 25
What this tier is
Vendor-provided 24x7 SOC plus customer-side L1 analysts. The vendor owns night, weekend, and overflow coverage; the customer owns business-hours triage and institutional context.
What this tier is not
Not fully outsourced. The customer retains a small SOC team and the operational complexity that comes with hiring, training, and retaining security analysts.
Best-fit vendors at this tier
