Ongoing posture monitoring, continuous assessment, and dedicated engineering support after the engagement closes. Embedded involvement, not a managed-SOC subscription.
This is not 24/7 SOC monitoring or alert triage — if that's what you need, an MSSP is the right category of vendor. Continuous support is periodic posture assessment and dedicated development/infrastructure engineering, picking up where a defined engagement ends rather than replacing it with a subscription.
Most clients start with a scoped assessment or remediation engagement, then move into continuous support once the initial findings backlog is addressed — this is a natural second step, not a separate sales motion.
No — this isn't 24/7 SOC monitoring or alert triage. It's ongoing posture assessment and dedicated engineering support: periodic reviews, continuous DevSecOps involvement, and infrastructure support that picks up where a one-time engagement leaves off.
A defined cadence of posture reviews and check-ins, plus availability for infrastructure and security engineering work as it comes up — not a fixed retainer with unclear deliverables.
Yes — this is the common path. Most clients start with a scoped assessment or remediation engagement, then move to continuous support once the initial backlog is addressed.
Yes, where relevant — embedding security review earlier in your SDLC is part of what continuous support can cover, scoped to your team's actual workflow rather than a generic framework.
An annual assessment is a snapshot; continuous support catches drift between snapshots — new infrastructure, new findings, configuration changes — before they compound into the next audit cycle.
