The Wisemonk team played a key role in helping us hire for specialized B2B SaaS marketing skills. We were able to build the team within four months, and hire experienced professionals from Tier 1/major B2B SaaS brands. This includes SEO, digital marketing, business development, product marketing, content marketing, and GTM roles. They are a great partner providing integrated services for EOR and recruitment/hiring and I’d recommend them to any B2B SaaS vendor.

Tier 1 analysts handle alert triage and initial investigation. They monitor SIEM dashboards, filter false positives, and escalate anything that warrants deeper attention. Tier 2 analysts take escalated incidents, perform deeper forensic analysis, and coordinate containment. Tier 3 analysts, often called threat hunters, proactively search for adversary activity that has not yet triggered an alert. If you are building a SOC from scratch or need coverage for a high-volume alert environment, start with Tier 1 and Tier 2. If you already have a functioning SOC and want to move from reactive to proactive security, a Tier 3 threat hunter is the right hire.
CompTIA Security+ is a reasonable baseline for Tier 1 roles. For more experienced analysts, look for CompTIA CySA+, Certified SOC Analyst (CSA), or GIAC certifications such as GCIA or GCIH. Candidates with hands-on SIEM experience, documented incident response cases, or platform-specific credentials from Splunk, Microsoft, or CrowdStrike often outperform those with only exam-based certifications. Treat certifications as a signal of commitment, not a substitute for demonstrated detection and response skills.
The core skill is SIEM proficiency. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and IBM QRadar are the most common platforms. Beyond SIEM, strong analysts understand EDR tools such as CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, network analysis tools like Wireshark, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework for mapping adversary behavior. Analysts who can write detection rules in KQL, SPL, or Sigma, and who understand scripting in Python or PowerShell for automation, are significantly more effective than those who rely entirely on out-of-the-box detections.
Ask candidates to walk through a real incident they investigated: what the initial alert looked like, how they triaged it, what additional data they pulled, and what the outcome was. Strong candidates will describe their reasoning at each step, not just the conclusion. You can also use tabletop exercises or platform-specific scenarios in tools like Splunk or Sentinel to assess hands-on ability. Candidates who can explain the difference between a true positive and a false positive in a specific context, and who understand attacker techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, are the ones worth hiring.
SOC analysts hired through Wisemonk typically cost between $4,000 and $22,500 per year depending on tier and specialization, compared to $70,000 to $130,000 for equivalent roles in the US or UK. The cost difference is not a reflection of quality. Wisemonk sources from a deep pool of security professionals in India who hold the same certifications, work with the same tools, and operate in overlapping time zones with most global teams. You get the same detection and response capability at a fraction of the cost, with Wisemonk handling compliance, payroll, and local employment obligations.
