Managed Cybersecurity
Apollo 24x7 SOC
Our 24x7 security operations center protects identity, email, endpoints, cloud and network for financial firms. Our analysts handle an incident from the first alert through to resolution.
24/7/365
Analyst-led managed detection and response on the Advanced and Comprehensive tiers
5 layers
Identity, email, endpoint, cloud, and network telemetry correlated in one SIEM
30 days
Incident response playbook finalized and attached to your agreement after signing
What response ownership means
Containment
On tiers with analyst-led MDR, detection playbooks support actions such as endpoint isolation or access changes where configured and authorized.
Incident coordination
The named security lead works with your contacts against the agreed incident response plan. Notification methods, responsibilities and escalation are documented.
Additional investigation
Deep forensics, recovery assistance and out-of-scope incident work are separately scoped or covered by an agreed retainer. Routine MDR is not an unlimited forensic engagement.
Three tiers with clearly defined coverage
Foundational protection, 24/7 analyst-led response, or human-led threat hunting and insurance readiness.

Frameworks we build on
From identity and access control to endpoint telemetry, cloud posture, network inspection, threat hunting, and incident response, every layer is aligned with recognized standards.
Control alignment and readiness support, not certification or a guarantee of compliance. The applicable mappings and deliverables are defined in your service scope.
Beyond detection
Apollo strengthens your posture with vulnerability management, cyber-risk scoring, zero-trust access enforcement, and continuous alignment with SEC, FINRA, and cyber-insurance expectations. Whether you are establishing foundational protections or need enterprise-grade resilience, the agreed program helps reduce risk across the systems and controls in scope.
Security that stands up to examiners, investors, and insurers
Detection is only half of a security program. Apollo pairs the technical stack with the policies, evidence, and contractual commitments that regulated firms are asked to produce, so a due-diligence questionnaire or an SEC examination becomes a document request rather than a fire drill.
Policy program
Incident Response Plan, Information Security Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, access control standards, business continuity and DR plans, vendor risk management, and Acceptable AI Use Policy, in regulated and non-regulated variants, reviewed annually.
Records & retention
Retention architecture that separates vendor-side retention from firm-side capture obligations, with templates covering FINRA 4511, SEA 17a-4, and Advisers Act 204-2 retention periods.
Third-party & AI risk
Vendor due-diligence assessments and formal vendor risk documentation, including reviews of AI platforms before they touch client data.
Contractual commitments in every Apollo agreement
| Commitment | Detail |
|---|---|

- Auditor-friendly posture summaries and event correlation for SEC and FINRA inquiries
- Cyber-insurance qualification assistance with underwriter-aligned posture scoring
- DDQ and ODD responses for investor operational due diligence
- Tabletop exercise reports with executive summaries and recommendations
- Quarterly site-level threat reports and regulatory-aligned network posture summaries with network IDS
In-house offensive testing. External and internal penetration tests are run by Option One Technologies using an automated network penetration testing platform, mapped to OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK, with remediation tracked to closure.
Security questions worth asking any provider
Where 24/7 analyst response actually starts, what compliance really means, and what happens on the worst day.
Which tier actually gives us 24/7 analyst response?
Advanced and Comprehensive include analyst-led 24/7 managed detection and response across endpoints, cloud, network and perimeter. Core builds the foundational stack - EDR, MFA, encryption, email security, awareness training, vulnerability management and reporting - and does not include 24/7 analyst-led MDR, so firms with an urgent after-hours requirement should start at Advanced.
Does using Apollo make us compliant?
No, and any provider that says otherwise is worth a second look. Compliance remains your firm's responsibility. What we provide is control alignment with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, the SEC cyber rules and FINRA expectations, plus the policies, playbooks and evidence exports your CCO and examiners ask for.
What happens if we have an incident?
Your incident response playbook is finalized and attached to the agreement within 30 days of the effective date, reviewed annually and after material incidents. Detection playbooks contain and isolate automatically where appropriate, the named SOC manager and escalation contact coordinate the response, and a forensic retainer is available for work outside standard coverage.
Can we keep the security tools we already own?
Often, yes. Mimecast, Proofpoint, Cisco Umbrella, DLP, MDM and antivirus are available as add-ons, and we review what you run during discovery so you are not paying twice. Endpoint and identity are built on SentinelOne and Duo, which is where the tiered detection depends on consistency.
Are the service commitments contractual?
Yes. Response times, a 2% service credit per missed P1 SLA (capped at 4% of the monthly fee), a Data Processing Addendum, notification contacts and the named team are all written into the agreement rather than described on a website only.
