SOC as a Service Honduras — 24/7 Protection From Your Country

The only Security Operations Center with physical offices in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa — continuous monitoring, active response and CNBS compliance for Honduran banks, manufacturing and government

Honduras faces a cyberthreat landscape that intensifies every year. Ransomware targeting financial institutions, Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks against companies in the Valle de Sula, attacks on government infrastructure in Tegucigalpa, and advanced persistent threats that silently compromise manufacturing networks for weeks before being detected. Against this backdrop, the traditional reactive security model — waiting for something to fail and then responding — is no longer sufficient.

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is the answer: a team of specialized analysts monitoring your infrastructure around the clock, with the technology and processes to detect threats in minutes and contain them before they cause damage. SOC as a Service gives you access to this capability as a managed service — without the investment of building an internal SOC, without the challenge of recruiting and retaining certified analysts in Honduras, and with the assurance of a team that already knows the local regulatory context, threat landscape, and industry sectors.

GLADiiUM Technology Partners operates the most advanced NSOC (Network and Security Operations Center) with physical presence in Honduras — with active offices in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa, serving clients in the financial, manufacturing, maquila, telecommunications and government sectors for over 20 years.

What Is a SOC and Why Does Honduras Need It Now?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a centralized unit combining technology, processes and people to detect, analyze and respond to cybersecurity incidents in real time. Unlike an antivirus or firewall that operate autonomously, the SOC puts human intelligence over the telemetry of your entire infrastructure: endpoints, servers, applications, networks, email and cloud environments.

Honduras has specific and urgent reasons to prioritize this capability in 2025:

CNBS Resolution GRD No.793/16-12-2022 requires all supervised institutions — banks, insurers, cooperatives, exchange houses — to implement continuous security monitoring, incident management and continuity plans that require exactly the capabilities a SOC provides.
The manufacturing and maquila sector of the Valle de Sula represents the largest industrial hub in Central America and is a priority target for ransomware groups seeking to disrupt international supply chains.
The local cybersecurity talent shortage makes it practically impossible for most Honduran organizations to build and maintain a competent internal SOC team. The SOC as a Service model resolves this at the root.

24/7/365 Monitoring

Continuous surveillance without shift gaps — GLADiiUM analysts active at all times from our facilities in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa.

Detection in Minutes

SIEM correlates thousands of events per second. Alerts validated by human analysts in under 15 minutes for high-severity threats.

Active Response

With pre-authorized playbooks, we isolate compromised endpoints, block C2 communications and contain incidents before they spread.

Proactive Threat Hunting

Active search for attackers already inside your network who have not yet triggered alerts — we find what automated tools cannot see.

CNBS 793/2022 Compliance

We automatically generate all audit evidence required by CNBS Resolution GRD 793/2022 — logs, incident reports, monitoring metrics and executive dashboards.

Bilingual Operations

Our entire team operates in Spanish and English. Reports, alerts, incident calls and executive communications in your organization's language.

CNBS Resolution 793/2022 and the SOC — What Your Bank or Insurer Needs to Know

Resolution GRD No.793 of December 16, 2022 from the Comision Nacional de Bancos y Seguros updated the Standards for the Management of Information Technology, Cybersecurity and Business Continuity for all supervised institutions in Honduras. This regulation establishes concrete obligations that go far beyond having an antivirus installed:

Continuous monitoring of all systems accessing sensitive financial information — requires SIEM operating 24/7
Documented incident management with measurable detection, containment and eradication times
Periodic vulnerability analysis with remediation evidence
Tested business continuity plan updated with a cybersecurity component
Incident reports to CNBS within defined timeframes when breaches occur

GLADiiUM understands Resolution 793/2022 better than any other provider in Honduras because we have spent over 20 years working with the Honduran financial sector. Our SOC as a Service was designed to automatically generate the documentation and evidence that CNBS auditors require during inspections.

Sectors We Serve in Honduras

Financial Sector and Cooperatives

Commercial banks, savings and credit cooperatives, insurers, exchange houses and financial institutions supervised by the CNBS. Our SOC generates all compliance evidence required by Resolution 793/2022 and CNBS IT risk management guidelines. We know the core banking systems most widely used in Honduras and configure specific alerts to detect fraud in real time.

Manufacturing and Maquilas — Valle de Sula

San Pedro Sula is the industrial heart of Honduras and Central America. The textile maquilas, manufacturing companies and industrial parks of the Valle de Sula are priority targets for industrial ransomware seeking to disrupt international production orders. GLADiiUM has a physical presence in SPS and analysts who understand the IT/OT architecture of these environments.

Government and Public Sector

Ministries, secretariats, municipalities and autonomous institutions processing citizen data and operating critical state infrastructure. GLADiiUM works with public sector entities under the highest standards of confidentiality and local regulatory compliance.

Telecommunications and Technology

Telecom operators, internet service providers, technology companies and software developers requiring protection of their critical infrastructure and that of their clients.

Healthcare and Universities

Private hospitals, specialized clinics and universities handling patient and student data under growing privacy and data protection obligations in Honduras.

Internal SOC vs SOC as a Service — The Right Decision for Honduras

Many Honduran organizations consider building their own internal SOC at some point. The reality of the local market makes this option impractical for the vast majority.

A mature internal SOC requires 6 to 8 certified analysts (CISSP, GCIA, GCIH, OSCP) working on rotating shifts, an enterprise SIEM platform, updated threat intelligence, incident response tools and a continuous training program. The annual operating cost of this capability in Honduras — assuming you can recruit and retain the talent, which is the greatest challenge — ranges between $800,000 and $1.2 million per year.

GLADiiUM’s SOC as a Service delivers equivalent or superior capability as a monthly service, with no upfront infrastructure investment, no talent retention risk, and the additional advantage of analysts who already know the specific threats affecting the Honduran market.

Frequently Asked Questions — SOC as a Service Honduras

What is SOC as a Service in Honduras?

SOC as a Service in Honduras is a model in which a specialized company like GLADiiUM provides security monitoring, threat detection and incident response capabilities as a 24/7 managed service, without the client organization needing to build its own operations center. The client receives continuous protection from certified analysts monitoring their infrastructure in real time from our facilities in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa.

What is the difference between a SOC and a NOC in Honduras?

A NOC (Network Operations Center) monitors the availability and performance of network infrastructure — servers, connectivity, applications — and acts when something stops working. A SOC (Security Operations Center) specifically monitors cybersecurity threats — intrusions, malware, anomalous behavior, data theft attempts — and acts to contain attacks. GLADiiUM operates an NSOC (Network and Security Operations Center) combining both capabilities under one roof, offering complete visibility over availability and security from our Honduran facilities.

Does GLADiiUM’s SOC as a Service comply with CNBS Resolution 793/2022?

Yes. GLADiiUM’s SOC as a Service was designed specifically to generate the audit evidence required by CNBS Resolution GRD No.793/16-12-2022 for supervised institutions in Honduras. This includes continuous monitoring logs, incident reports with documented detection and containment times, vulnerability analysis evidence, and executive dashboards demonstrating security program maturity to CNBS inspectors.

Does GLADiiUM have a physical presence in Honduras for the SOC?

Yes. Unlike regional or international providers offering SOC from outside the country, GLADiiUM has operational offices in San Pedro Sula (Valle de Sula) and Tegucigalpa (Francisco Morazan). Our security analysts know the Honduran market, speak Spanish as their primary language, understand local regulations and are available for on-site visits, on-site assessments and in-person incident response when the situation requires it.

How much does SOC as a Service cost in Honduras?

The cost varies by organization size, number of monitored endpoints and assets, coverage level required and additional services included (threat hunting, pentest, vulnerability management). GLADiiUM offers a free security posture assessment to properly size the service before any economic proposal. Contact us at [email protected] or +504-2544-0147 to coordinate the assessment.

Which sectors in Honduras benefit most from SOC as a Service?

The sectors with the greatest need for SOC in Honduras are: (1) financial sector supervised by CNBS — banks, cooperatives, insurers and exchange houses required to comply with Resolution 793/2022; (2) manufacturing and maquilas in the Valle de Sula, frequent targets of industrial ransomware; (3) telecommunications and ISPs; (4) central and municipal government; (5) private hospitals and health centers; (6) universities. GLADiiUM has documented experience across all these sectors in Honduras.

How does GLADiiUM’s SOC incident response work in Honduras?

When our SIEM detects a confirmed high-severity threat, the on-duty analyst in the NSOC executes the pre-agreed response playbook: isolates the compromised endpoint from the network, blocks communication with the attacker’s command and control server, notifies the client’s security contact per the escalation protocol, preserves forensic evidence, and documents every action with a timestamp for the incident record. For clients in San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, the team can coordinate in-person response within hours when the incident requires it.
