What is vSOC Recon?

vSOC Recon is our managed Attack Surface Management service, designed to move you away from outdated, point-in-time assessments and into a state of continuous, risk-informed protection.

Our service combines market-leading technology and support from certified cyber security experts to help you identify and prioritise vulnerabilities in real time. Through our vSOC Connect Console, you gain insight into what assets are vulnerable, how critical those vulnerabilities are and how to fix them - all in one place.

In today’s evolving threat landscape, attackers exploit weaknesses faster than ever before. From misconfigurations to end-of-life software, unmanaged vulnerabilities expose your organisation to breaches. vSOC Recon helps you close those gaps quickly, effectively and with confidence.

Benefits

What Are the vSOC Recon Benefits?

Strategic Guidance

Strategic Guidance

We don’t just stop at scanning. Our SOC team works alongside you with monthly strategic sessions that track progress, guide prioritisation, provide patching advice and help you mature your vulnerability management programme. Vulnerability Threat Briefings are built into this process, offering added context and actionable recommendations to reduce your attack surface.

Risk-Based Prioritisation

Risk-Based Prioritisation

Many tools rely solely on the CVSS score, but our service takes a real-world approach. We prioritise vulnerabilities based on severity scores, including CVSS, and active exploitation trends, asset criticality and business impact. Combined with Vulnerability Threat Briefings, this ensures your team focuses on the risks that truly matter.

Complete Visibility<br />

Complete Visibility

Get a full view of your vulnerabilities via the vSOC Connect Console. See misconfigurations, end of life systems and required patching, as well as where those vulnerabilities are and on what device. Easily assign tasks, track progress, generate compliance reports and manage everything in a single place.

Real Threat Indicators

Real Threat Indicators

Gain deeper insight with Real Threat Indicators (RTIs). Instantly identify vulnerabilities linked to categories like “easy exploit,” “ransomware,” “high data loss,” “zero day,” or “predicted high risk.” Use the RTI dashboard or create your own to zero in on the threats that matter most.

SOC Support

SOC Support

Need help interpreting a scan result or with remediation? Our certified security analysts are always available to support you, breaking down complex vulnerabilities and giving you step-by-step guidance to remediate them effectively.

Off-Network Device Monitoring

Off-Network Device Monitoring

Workforces are hybrid, but your visibility doesn’t have to suffer. Our agent-based technology allows you to monitor off-network devices and identify vulnerabilities, even when they’re not connected to your network.

End-to-End Cyber Security Services

vSOC Connect Console

All-in-One Dashboard
This shows all misconfigurations and software/hardware vulnerabilities across all devices (including Windows, Linux, Mac and the network perimeter) in one place. Track attributes, groups of devices, or particular risks to keep your attack surface tightly managed.
Common Evolving Threats
Some software vulnerabilities are so critical that they impact all businesses; Log4Shell/Log4j is a prime example of this. Use the vSOC Connect Console to identify these, or any risks you wish to prioritise in your system quickly.
Real Threat Indicators (RTI)
Easily identify the vulnerabilities that matter most with RTIs, highlighting categories like ransomware, zero-day, or predicted high risk. Build your own dashboards to monitor specific areas of your attack surface, or use our ready-made RTI view for at-a-glance insights.
Customisable and Compliance Reporting
Drill down to inspect a single asset or find out how many devices are affected by a specific vulnerability, build custom dashboards and create bespoke reports for ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. See vulnerabilities that will lead to Cyber Essentials certification failure.
Sleek and User-Friendly Design
vSOC Recon, like all our managed services, is delivered through a dynamic, clean and highly customisable dashboard, giving our customers full transparency and control of their security.
Top Vulnerabilities Affecting Your Organisation
Change your view of the top 10 vulnerabilities affecting your whole organisation. Find out which assets are more at risk or list the vulnerabilities, allowing you to prioritise your workflow easily.

ICT Manager | Not-for-Profit | 50+ Employees

Testimonials

Without the experienced human expertise provided by Data Connect, we wouldn’t have got as far as we did. It’s important to say, right from the start, they were incredibly helpful to me personally, as someone that doesn’t ‘speak the language’. When I asked questions, never once was there a raised eyebrow or a patronising response.

Attack Surface Management FAQs

How is vSOC Recon different from other vulnerability scanners?

+
-

Many tools just report vulnerabilities based on CVSS scores; vSOC Recon also considers exploitability, asset criticality and business impact to prioritise remediation efforts. vSOC Recon combines real-world threat intelligence, SOC analyst support, and strategic guidance to turn results into meaningful actions.

How often should vulnerability scans be run?

+
-

Point-in-time scanning (e.g. monthly or quarterly) can leave you exposed between scans. vSOC Recon delivers real-time scanning and reporting, helping you reduce exposure windows and stay ahead of evolving threats.

Can vSOC Recon help with compliance requirements?

+
-

Yes. The vSOC Connect Console provides compliance-focused dashboards and reporting for standards like Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. It also highlights high-risk vulnerabilities that could result in compliance failure, helping you address them before audits or assessments.

Does vSOC Recon cover remote or off-network devices?

+
-

Absolutely. Our agent-based technology allows continuous monitoring of devices even when they’re off-network. This is essential for hybrid and remote workforces, ensuring that no device falls outside your security perimeter.
