Framework

The SOCHUB Security Model

A structured, repeatable methodology for building and maintaining security programs. Five phases. Continuous cycle. Measurable outcomes.

Methodology

System-Driven, Not Improvised

Security programs fail when they depend on individual heroics. They succeed when they're built on repeatable systems.

The SOCHUB Security Model defines how we assess your environment, prioritize risks, operate the program, measure progress, and continuously improve. Every engagement follows this framework.

Why a Framework Matters

  • Ensures consistency across every engagement
  • Creates accountability through measurable milestones
  • Prevents ad-hoc decision making
  • Aligns security work with business objectives
  • Makes progress visible to all stakeholders
The Five Phases

Each Phase Builds on the Last

01

Assess

Understand where you stand. We evaluate your infrastructure, application architecture, policies, processes, and organizational context. This isn't a checkbox audit. It's a deep, contextual analysis of your actual security posture.

Infrastructure review Architecture analysis Policy gap assessment Threat landscape mapping Current tooling evaluation
02

Prioritize

Not all risks are equal. We rank findings by actual business impact — not scanner severity. You get a clear, actionable roadmap that tells your team exactly what to address and in what order. Resources go where they matter most.

03

Operate

Execute the plan. We implement security controls, review architecture decisions, harden cloud configurations, and maintain incident readiness. This is the ongoing work of running a security program — structured and accountable.

04

Measure

Track progress with real data. Monthly posture reviews, security metrics, and executive reporting give you clear visibility into how your program is performing. No subjective assessments. Measurable outcomes.

05

Improve

Every quarter, the cycle resets. We reassess your environment, update the risk register, refine the roadmap, and adjust priorities based on what's changed. Your security program evolves with your company.

Continuous Cycle

The Model Never Stops

This is not a one-time project. The five phases repeat every quarter, each cycle building on the outcomes of the previous one. Over time, your security program becomes more mature, more measurable, and more aligned with your business.
