Managed SOC with Google SecOps: detect attacks before they cause damage

We monitor your IT with Google Security Operations, Google Threat Intelligence and Gemini – available around the clock on request. That way you spot attacks earlier, respond faster and have the information you need for a NIS2 notification at hand.

  • Monitoring available around the clock on request
  • Threat knowledge from Google Threat Intelligence and Mandiant
  • Data in the EU, in Frankfurt on request

In brief

A Security Operations Center (SOC) continuously monitors a company's IT for attacks, assesses alerts and initiates countermeasures. GMinds runs your SOC as a managed service on Google Security Operations (Google SecOps) – with SIEM, SOAR, Google Threat Intelligence and AI agents based on Gemini. You get detection and response from a single source, without building a round-the-clock team yourself.

Starting point

Why an SOC is becoming a must now

NIS2 applies

The German NIS2 Implementation Act has been in force since 6 December 2025. Significant security incidents must be reported to the BSI within 24 hours (according to the BSI) – only possible if you detect attacks quickly.

Too many alerts

Firewalls, endpoints, cloud and email generate countless alerts every day. Without central analysis, real attacks get lost in the noise.

Too few staff

For most mid-sized companies, a dedicated round-the-clock team is neither affordable nor possible to staff.

Services

What your Managed SOC delivers

SIEM

All security-relevant logs in one place, searchable in seconds and retained for a long time.

SOAR

Automated workflows for recurring cases: enrich an alert, lock an account, isolate a device – after an agreed approval.

Google Threat Intelligence

Threat knowledge from Mandiant engagements and VirusTotal, directly in detection.

AI agents with Gemini

Agents pre-assess alerts, investigate incidents and hunt for specific attack patterns. A person makes the decisions.

Around the clock on request

We assess critical alerts and get in touch as soon as you need to act. Monitoring is also available around the clock on request.

Support with notifications

Timeline, affected systems and evidence – prepared for your notification to the BSI.

Process

From alert to response

01

Connect

Logs from the cloud, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, firewalls and endpoints flow into Google SecOps.

02

Detect

Rules, threat intelligence and AI agents find anomalies and prioritize them.

03

Respond

We investigate the case and initiate agreed measures, automatically or after approval.

04

Document and improve

You receive a report; we sharpen rules and workflows.

NIS2

Keeping the reporting deadlines in view

Under Section 32 of the BSI Act, significant security incidents are subject to a three-stage reporting procedure. Your SOC provides the information for it.

  1. 24 hours

    Initial notification

    What happened – is an attack suspected?

    Your SOC provides: time of detection, initial assessment, affected systems.

  2. 72 hours

    Notification with assessment

    Severity, impact, indicators of compromise.

    Your SOC provides: investigation results and indicators.

  3. 1 month

    Final report

    Cause, type of threat, measures.

    Your SOC provides: complete timeline and report.

The notification itself remains your company's obligation. We support you with the information you need.

AI in the SOC

AI agents take the load, people decide

Google SecOps comes with AI agents that pre-assess alerts, prepare investigations and proactively hunt for attack patterns. This noticeably shortens the time from alert to decision. With us, a person always decides which measure is taken. Some agents are still in preview at Google or only available in certain editions (according to Google's release notes).

Onboarding

Three phases to your own SOC

01

Analysis

We clarify risks, important systems and which sources to connect.

02

Onboarding

We connect the sources, set up rules and workflows and test them with you.

03

Operations

We monitor continuously – around the clock on request – report regularly and keep improving.
