ORBIT Observation, Reconnaissance, Baseline, Instrumentation, Tuning

The first thirty days of a managed service determine its reliability. ORBIT structures this phase to deliver an operational service, with a measured false-positive rate, by day thirty.

Onboarding into monitoring (SOC / MDR)

Principle

Managed monitoring service failures happen almost always in the first thirty days: incomplete log sources, a massive volume of false positives, and loss of client trust before the service has had time to prove itself.

ORBIT structures this onboarding phase into five sequenced phases, each with a defined objective and day range, through to go-live at a stable operational pace.

Process

Every onboarding follows ORBIT's five phases, from day one of the contract to go-live.

O

Observation

Mapping of the client's assets, available log sources, and network flows.

D+1 to D+5
R

Reconnaissance

Identification of the exposed surface and the priority attack paths specific to the client's environment.

D+5 to D+10
B

Baseline

Establishing the environment's normal behavior baseline — traffic, usage patterns, accounts, hours — a prerequisite for reliable anomaly detection.

D+10 to D+18
I

Instrumentation

Deployment of detection rules across the client's environment, including those derived from the PIBD methodology for its peer group.

D+18 to D+25
T

Tuning

False-positive reduction, validation of deployed rules by simulation, then go-live.

D+25 to D+30

Commitment

The service is operational by day thirty, with a false-positive rate measured and communicated to the client at go-live, then tracked continuously in monitoring reports.

ORBIT structures the onboarding of every new client onto the Managed SOC & MDR service, regardless of the starting maturity of their environment.
