Folio 024 · Tier Register

SOC tier pricing for 2026.

$/endpoint/mo bands per SOC tier. Tier-1 is monitoring-only; Tier-1+2 adds triage; Tier-1+2+3 adds hunt and active response. Co-managed splits with the customer; fully outsourced absorbs the entire SOC function. AI-SOC is the 2026 disruption layer.

Direct answer

Tier-1 monitoring-only sits at $ 3 to $ 8 per endpoint per month. Tier-1+2 (monitor and triage) sits at $ 6 to $ 18. Tier-1+2+3 (full hunt and active response) sits at $ 12 to $ 35. Co-managed sits between Tier-1+2 and fully outsourced. Fully outsourced is $ 14 to $ 35. Agentic AI-SOC prices per-alert or per-seat rather than per-endpoint; expect 50 to 80 percent cost-per-investigation reduction in production deployments, not 95.
