Most Indian businesses cannot afford a dedicated security team. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) give you 24/7 security monitoring, incident response, and compliance management at a fraction of the cost of building in-house. Here's how to evaluate the right MSSP for your business.

Managed security for a 50-person Indian company typically costs ₹30,000–80,000/month depending on scope. This covers endpoint security deployment, patch management, monitoring, and basic incident response. Full 24/7 SOC services for enterprises with 500+ users cost ₹1.5–5 lakhs/month. This is far more cost-effective than an in-house security team costing ₹8–15 lakhs/year.
Yes, provided the MSSP explicitly covers CERT-In obligations in their contract: incident reporting within 6 hours, log retention for 180 days, and coordination with CERT-In on reportable incidents. Ensure your MSSP agreement includes these specifics and get a compliance attestation annually.
