Managed security services let a company hand round-the-clock monitoring and response to specialists instead of building its own security team. In Singapore the main options are a managed security operations centre, or SOC, and managed detection and response, known as MDR, where analysts investigate alerts and help contain threats. This page lists seven providers that describe those services on their own websites, with a mix of licensed SOC specialists and managed IT firms that bundle security into broader support. Read each description, confirm licence status and exact scope directly with the provider, and request a written proposal before committing. It is a shortlist to research, not a ranking.

1. Akera Technologies

Akera Technologies is a Singapore-registered cybersecurity and infrastructure services firm, described on its site as a Vector Infotech Group company. Its managed offer runs through ATSOC, an operations centre it says is built on an OpenXDR architecture and watches endpoints, networks, cloud, email, identity and OT or IoT environments around the clock. Customers can buy it three ways according to the page: fully managed detection and response, a hybrid arrangement where Akera and the client's staff share the work, or a build-and-transfer programme that hands a centre over to the client. The site states that Akera holds a Cyber Security Agency managed SOC monitoring licence. Worth shortlisting if you want the choice of outsourcing completely or growing an in-house team gradually.

2. CARE (Computer Analysts and Recovery Experts)

CARE, short for Computer Analysts and Recovery Experts, is a Singapore IT services company whose site says it has served local businesses since 2007. Its security operations centre service is presented as a way for smaller firms to get monitoring they could not staff themselves, covering networks, servers and endpoints with real-time threat detection, containment of incidents, log analysis and reporting. The company states it is licensed by the Cyber Security Agency for managed SOC monitoring and also lists ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Because CARE also does IT outsourcing, infrastructure support, backup and data recovery, it can suit a company that wants security monitoring bundled with day-to-day IT support from one vendor, rather than buying monitoring on its own.

Viperlink is a Singapore company that says it has been operating since 1997 and today offers cybersecurity services aimed at Singapore small and mid-sized firms. Its site describes a licensed security operations centre providing round-the-clock threat monitoring and rapid incident response, sold alongside managed detection and response. Around that sit Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust consultancy, PDPA data-protection work, security awareness training and a CISO-as-a-service option. It says it uses flat monthly plans and helps clients look into available grants, though it publishes no rates, so ask for a quote. A reasonable pick if you need monitoring and the compliance paperwork that buyers, insurers or partners keep asking for from the same supplier.

4. Artan Consulting

Artan Consulting is a Singapore cybersecurity consultancy that states it is licensed by the Cybersecurity Services Regulation Office for both penetration testing and managed SOC monitoring. Its managed security operations centre page promises round-the-clock monitoring of IT infrastructure, behavioural and AI-assisted detection, threat hunting, containment support during incidents and written reports on what was found and done. It says services are tailored to each client instead of sold as a fixed package, and it lists a separate managed threat and incident response service. The page does not name the tooling or the delivery model, so ask which platforms are used and where the analysts sit. Suited to firms wanting one licensed supplier for testing and monitoring.

5. MicroLogic

MicroLogic is a Singapore IT company that says it was incorporated in 2010 and now positions itself as a cybersecurity-first managed service provider for SMEs. Its managed security page describes twenty-four hour monitoring built on SIEM and endpoint detection and response, together with incident response, security awareness training and phishing exercises. The company also lists virtual CISO services, penetration testing and cloud security alongside everyday managed IT such as helpdesk and Microsoft 365 support, and it names Microsoft, Fortinet and Acronis among its partners. It refers to Cyber Essentials alignment but does not claim a SOC monitoring licence on the page, so ask directly how the monitoring is delivered. Best for small firms wanting security bundled with routine IT support.

6. Sakal Network

Sakal Network is a Singapore managed IT provider that says it was founded in 2014 and aims its services at local SMEs, including healthcare practices. Its managed cybersecurity page describes continuous threat monitoring and incident response, backed by endpoint protection from SentinelOne and Bitdefender, Barracuda email security and anti-phishing, vulnerability scanning, and security awareness training with simulated phishing. It also offers PDPA and PCI DSS compliance support. The firm sits mainly in the managed IT category, with helpdesk, patching, Microsoft 365 and backup services, so security comes as part of a wider support relationship. The page does not claim a regulator's SOC licence, so confirm how monitoring is staffed. A fit for small teams wanting a single IT and security partner.

7. ManagedSecurity.Asia

ManagedSecurity.Asia is the security-focused offer of Managed IT Asia, which says it has worked in IT management since 1987. Its site targets small and mid-sized businesses and describes six layers of protection: endpoint detection and response backed by a 24/7 SOC, identity and access controls, Microsoft 365 hardening and email protection, managed firewall and DNS filtering, immutable backup, and staff training with phishing simulations. It says real analysts review alerts on client endpoints. The site does not mention a regulator's SOC licence, so ask how monitoring is delivered and who holds any required licence. Sensible for companies that run on Microsoft 365 and want security and backup combined in one managed arrangement.

How to choose

  • Check the licence first. Under Singapore's Cybersecurity Act, managed security operations centre monitoring is a licensed service, and providers usually state their licence on their own pages. Ask any shortlisted firm to confirm the current licence, and if it resells another party's SOC, ask who holds the licence and who actually watches your alerts.
  • Pin down what you are buying. Monitoring only raises alerts, while managed detection and response normally includes analysts who investigate and help contain a threat. Ask whether the provider can isolate a device or block an account on your behalf, who approves that action at night, and what you must do yourself.
  • Ask about coverage and tooling. Find out which endpoints, cloud services, email systems and servers are monitored, which platforms collect the data, and whether you keep access to your own logs if you leave. A clear, specific answer beats a general promise of 24/7 protection from every threat.
  • Look at reporting and escalation. Good providers explain how alerts are triaged, how fast they say they will contact you, who is called, and what regular reports you receive. Ask for a sample report and a named contact, and check that response commitments are written into the contract rather than only the brochure.
  • Match the service to your size and rules. Smaller firms often do well with a provider that also handles IT support, while regulated or larger companies may need stricter evidence and audit support. Ask about PDPA help, Cyber Essentials or Cyber Trust support, contract length, exit terms and grants you might use.
