8com, based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany, began in 2004 as a penetration-testing firm and now delivers managed SOC services monitoring IT and OT environments around the clock. Its SOC is certified under ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, and its offerings are packaged in Core, Advanced and Infinity tiers with modules for XDR, SIEM-as-a-Service, SAP security, OT security and incident response.
The company states it has more than 140 SOC customers across SMEs, international corporations and the public sector, and reports roughly 150 staff, about half in the SOC.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Evolved from pen-testing into tiered SOC, CTEM and SAP security modules; steady rather than rapid innovation.
Combines 24/7 monitoring, in-house IR and OT/SAP coverage that matter to regulated German buyers.
140+ SOC customers claimed and ISG Provider Lens recognition for next-gen SOC/MDR.
Traditional managed SOC with added exposure-management modules.
BSI-related and ISO certification provide external assurance; no named incident evidence reviewed.
Compliance-driven demand (NIS2) supports long-term relevance.
Why CISOs Should Care
Offers German-hosted SOC monitoring with certified processes, helping NIS2-exposed firms meet 24/7 monitoring needs.
What Makes It Different
Pairs offensive-security heritage with SOC delivery, plus SAP and OT specific monitoring.
The Matrix Verdict
60/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
Tier: Incremental Innovator. Established, certified European MSSP with good coverage breadth but a conventional model.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Response-time and customer-count figures are self-reported; certifications are external.
