Tier-1+2 SOC Pricing 2026: Triage and Validated Alerts
Tier-1+2 adds triage and validation on top of monitoring. The customer receives only validated, actionable alerts (not raw signal). Response is typically a handoff to the customer rather than vendor-driven containment.
$ 6 to $ 18
What this tier is
Monitor plus analyst-validated alerts; alerts triaged, false positives filtered, severity assigned, response recommended.
What this tier is not
Not active response, not threat hunting. The vendor does not take action on the customer's environment without explicit approval; some Tier-1+2 vendors offer limited isolation as an option.
Best-fit vendors at this tier
- Expel. Workbench portal exposes the triage decisions to the customer in real time; per-integration metering.
- Red Canary. ATR automated triage layer reduces analyst load; per-endpoint metering on top of customer EDR.
