Case Study - Security Operations Strategy & Process Design

Written by Reveal Risk | Jun 10, 2025 11:11:32 AM

Summary:

Reveal Risk partnered with a developing Fortune 1000 security organization to build a strategy for the security operations function, create initial playbooks for critical use cases, and design foundational processes. There had been rapid leadership turnover, and there wasn’t a solid plan for appropriately leveraging a newly acquired MDR solution. Reveal Risk helped rapidly build out the internal processes and knowledge base to make the MDR solution successful and scalable.

Outcomes:

Conducted a rapid current state assessment of security operations capabilities to identify the most critical needs
Assessed the full suite of offerings from the MDR partner to determine how to most effectively accelerate deployment and identify any critical program gaps
Developed metrics and reporting framework to share security operations capabilities with leadership and show progress over time
Built multiple playbooks for critical SOC use cases aligned to NIST standards (e.g. ransomware, third party breach, etc.)
Identified log sources, detection logic, and remediation actions for each playbook
Built a prioritized roadmap of playbooks and use cases
Designed a repeatable process to develop and manage current and future playbooks

“I like using Reveal Risk because they have supported the operations like I now own, and really feel like an extension of my team. We were able to do more with less effort on our end, because of their knowledge and experience.”
