Cybersecurity that thinks, decides, and acts — like a virtual CISO.
SOCVault runs continuous, AI-agentic security operations across eight attack-surface layers, then translates every finding into the financial risk a board can actually act on. One platform. One score. No security team required for routine work.

Attack-surface layers vs. next-best point solution
Your complete security picture — one dashboard.
Health Score, financial exposure, eight scanning layers, and top findings — all updated live, every scan. No spreadsheets. No separate tools. One number your board can act on.
Security tooling went wide. Nobody built the operator.
Three structural barriers keep growing organisations exposed — and none of them are solved by buying another scanner.
Capital
Traditional VAPT engagements run $10,000–$50,000 a year. MSSP retainers run $3,000–$15,000 a month. That's structurally inaccessible for the vast majority of the world's businesses.
Talent
3.4 million cybersecurity roles sit unfilled globally (ISC², 2024). Hiring and retaining a specialist security engineer at $90,000–$150,000 isn't realistic for most organisations.
Translation
Scanners output CVE IDs and CVSS scores. That data is meaningless to the CEO, CFO, or Ops Director who has to decide whether to act on it — and act now.

DMARC record: policy=none
Severity: CRITICAL · CWE-290Your email security is misconfigured. Attackers can impersonate your domain to send phishing emails to your customers — no email provider is blocking it. Fixable in 30 minutes by your IT team.
AI agents that act — with a human always holding the gate.
SOCVault doesn't stop at flagging a finding. Its agents probe, reason, decide, and either fix the isolated issue automatically or hand a fully-briefed decision to a human for anything system-wide.
Autonomous, multi-step, fully logged.
Point the AI agent at an authorised target and it plans its own assessment — mapping the authentication surface, probing for rate limiting, testing for username enumeration — narrating every THINK / TOOL / FIND step along the way, so nothing is a black box.
- ⚡Explicit consent gate before every agent run
- ⚡Full exportable transcript of every reasoning step
- ⚡OWASP-mapped findings with confidence scores
Audit-ready, without a separate compliance project.

Pay only for what you scan. Cancel any time.
No seats. No per-user fees. Pay per IP, per app, or per environment — and switch to a flat monthly plan when the volume makes sense. Every invoice is downloadable, every usage item is itemised.
Not another scanner. An engine that reasons, decides, and explains.
Underneath SOCVault is a single AI-agentic layer that sits across all eight scanning layers, weighs every finding, and decides what actually matters — then explains its reasoning in plain language a board can act on.
One engine, every layer.
The same AI-agentic intelligence reads the output of all eight scanning layers, so you get one prioritised view instead of eight disconnected reports.
Reasoning you can follow.
Every decision the engine makes — what to flag, what to fix, what to escalate — is shown with its reasoning, not hidden behind a score.
Consistent and explainable.
A single, governed AI engine powers every finding, triage call, remediation script and summary — so behaviour stays consistent, predictable, and auditable.
Powered by a single, enterprise-grade AI-agentic engine.
Every finding, every triage decision, every remediation script and every plain-English summary on SOCVault is produced by one governed AI engine — so its behaviour stays consistent, explainable, and accountable, end to end.

Questions, answered plainly.
SOCVault is a unified, AI-agentic cybersecurity platform. It runs continuous automated security operations across eight attack-surface layers — external recon, web, mobile, API, compliance, cloud, SOC/SIEM, and malware response — and uses an AI-agentic engine to translate every technical finding into plain-English financial risk, the way a virtual CISO would.
An AI vCISO is an AI system that performs the reasoning work of a virtual Chief Information Security Officer: prioritising findings, translating technical risk into financial and business terms, and recommending or triggering remediation — continuously, rather than in periodic human-led reviews.
Yes. The L1 external recon scan — 15 steps covering WHOIS, DNS, SSL/TLS, HTTP headers, subdomain discovery, port scanning, and credential-leak checks — is free forever, once per month, with no credit card required. Paid tiers start at $15 per IP per month for full web application VAPT.
No. SOCVault requires a verified business or corporate email address for self-serve sign-up, since the platform scans organisational domains and infrastructure. Students, academic researchers, and independent security testers without a business email can request manual access instead.
Intruder.io and Detectify each cover roughly two of the eight attack-surface layers SOCVault covers, and neither translates findings into financial risk or includes automated SOAR response. SOCVault covers external recon, web, mobile, API, compliance, cloud, SOC monitoring and malware response in one platform, with AI-generated financial exposure figures per finding.
Agentic AI in cybersecurity refers to an AI system that doesn't just flag a finding but reasons through multiple steps autonomously — probing a target, evaluating the response, deciding the next test, and proposing or executing a fix — with a human approval gate retained for high-impact or system-wide actions.
SOCVault includes automated gap analysis against PCI-DSS 4.0, UK GDPR, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, and Cyber Essentials Plus as a standard feature of the paid tier, with no separate compliance add-on required.
SOCVault starts free for L1 external recon. Paid usage-based scanning runs $15–25 per target per month depending on layer. SOC Pro, covering all eight layers plus SOAR automation and real-time monitoring, is $199 per month flat. Enterprise, with unlimited monitored agents and SSO, is $499 per month flat.
SOCVault combines automated scanning across eight attack-surface layers — using Wazuh, Nuclei, Semgrep, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, MobSF, CloudFox, Pacu, ClamAV and YARA as the detection core — with a single, enterprise-grade AI-agentic engine that reasons over every finding, prioritises it, translates it into financial terms, and recommends or triggers remediation.
Yes. Self-serve sign-up requires a business or institutional email, but students, academic researchers, and independent security testers can submit an access request with their details and intended use, and the SOCVault team will email access directly.
