What This Whitepaper Covers
In plain terms, it breaks down the gap between compliance on paper and resilience in reality.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Why SOCI sets outcomes, not operating models And how that leaves most organisations with documentation, not defence.
- The operational gap attackers exploit Periodic assessments vs continuous threats, fragmented visibility, identity exposure, and AI-driven adversaries.
- Real incidents that exposed false assurance Including DP World, critical infrastructure malware, and large-scale identity compromises.
- Why SOCI will never equal resilience on its own And why validation, not governance, is what attackers actually test.
- What real resilience looks like in practice Continuous visibility, continuous validation, real-time detection, and intelligent response.
- How exposure reduction and AI change the equation Shifting defence from reactive to adversary-paced.
- How LMNTRIX MXDR operationalises SOCI Mapping SOCI obligations directly to live controls, telemetry, and response across IT, OT, cloud, and identity.
Who Should Read This
This paper is written for leaders responsible for keeping critical services running, not just passing audits:
- CISOs and security leaders
- Critical infrastructure operators
- Risk, compliance, and resilience teams
- SOC and incident response leaders
If you’re accountable for SOCI outcomes, this will challenge how you think about them.
