Managed SOC / MSSP Price Calculator
Enter your endpoint count, pick a service tier and coverage, then add the modules you need. You get an estimated monthly cost range based on realistic per-endpoint MSSP pricing bands, what each tier includes and the factors that really move the price. This is an indicative tool, real pricing needs scoping.
Scope your managed SOC
This is an indicative band, not a quote. Real MSSP pricing needs scoping: actual log volume (EPS/GB), asset inventory, regulatory scope and response SLA. DSET provides a written proposal after a discovery call.
What this tier includes
- Everything in Monitoring, plus active response
- EDR/XDR driven detection with analyst investigation
- Remote containment: isolate host, kill process, block IOC
- Defined response SLA (often 15 to 60 minutes)
What actually drives the price
- Endpoint and user count: the single biggest line item, priced per seat.
- 24x7 coverage: night and weekend shifts require multiple analyst rotations, the largest single multiplier.
- Log volume (SIEM): ingestion per GB or EPS drives licensing, noisy sources inflate cost fast.
- MDR response depth: the promise to contain, not just alert, requires senior analysts and tight SLAs.
- Bundled EDR/XDR license: included tooling adds per-endpoint cost versus bringing your own (BYO).
Monitoring, MDR or full SOC?
The three tiers differ mainly in who responds. Monitoring only collects and triages alerts and hands them to your team. MDR adds active containment under a response SLA, and a full 24x7 SOC adds dedicated analysts, threat hunting and engineering. For the difference between managed detection and an outsourced security operation, read our guide to MDR and managed SOC services. To understand who actually staffs these tiers, see what SOC Tier 1/2/3 analyst levels mean.
Why per-endpoint pricing?
Most MSSPs price per endpoint or per user because that count correlates with the workload: more devices mean more telemetry, more alerts and more potential incidents to triage. Coverage is the next big multiplier, a 24x7 operation needs three shifts of analysts, which is the main reason it costs far more than 8x5. Log volume into the SIEM and the depth of MDR response round out the picture.
Build vs buy
Staffing a 24x7 SOC in-house means hiring and retaining 8 to 12 analysts before you buy a single tool, and analyst burnout makes that hard to sustain. An MSSP spreads those fixed costs across many clients, which is why outsourcing usually wins below a few thousand endpoints. See DSET's managed security services (MSSP) for how this is delivered in practice.
The figures here are indicative bands, not a firm quote. Real MSSP pricing depends on your actual log volume, asset inventory, regulatory scope and response SLA, and is provided in writing after a discovery call.
