Cyvex vs. building in-house security operations
Understand the trade-offs between a managed security partner and staffing your own 24/7 team. Use this guide to brief leadership, procurement, or boards on the right fit.
What mattersCyvex managed securityIn-house build
24/7 coverage
Around-the-clock analysts with ransomware, cloud, and compliance specialization.
Hiring and retaining a full shift model requires 6–8 FTEs to avoid burnout.
Tooling & integrations
Managed SIEM, EDR, cloud checks, breach monitoring, and ready-to-use playbooks.
Tool procurement, tuning, and upkeep sit with your team and delay time-to-value.
Response time
Median alert-to-triage under 15 minutes with runbooks tuned to your stack.
Staffing gaps or alert fatigue can extend MTTR and increase business impact.
Cost predictability
Fixed subscription with bundled expertise and quarterly hardening reviews.
Salaries, training, and tooling sprawl create variable, rising costs.
Executive reporting
Board-ready summaries, insurer-aligned evidence, and compliance mappings.
Reporting cadence and narrative building must be developed internally.
Best for choosing Cyvex
- You need 24/7 coverage without hiring multiple shifts.
- You want built-in compliance evidence aligned to audits and insurers.
- Your team prefers hands-on help during incidents and hardening.
Best for in-house build
- You already have senior security leaders and want complete tooling control.
- Your risk profile mandates bespoke, internally managed processes.
- Budget covers at least two full shifts with ongoing training.
