Ekco Risk Operations Centre (ROC)
Introducing Ekco’s Risk Operations Centre (ROC)
A managed, outcomes driven approach to cyber risk.
Ekco’s Risk Operations Centre, powered by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management, helps organisations quantify cyber risk, prioritise remediation, and reduce exposure in a way leadership teams can understand.
This is not another dashboard. It is a structured, continuous approach to managing cyber risk as a business issue.
Ekco + Qualys: Operationalising Risk, Not Just Reporting It
Ekco is a Qualys mROC partner for UK and Ireland, combining:
- The Qualys Enterprise TruRisk platform, which underpins the Risk Operations Centre model
- Ekco’s managed security expertise, processes and 24/7 service delivery
Together, we help organisations move from fragmented vulnerability management to continuous, business aligned risk reduction.
Why ROC, Why Now?
Most organisations are not short of security tools. They are short of clarity. Security, compliance and IT teams often operate across disconnected platforms. Vulnerabilities are logged. Alerts are raised. Reports are produced. But leadership is still asking:
- What is our actual exposure?
- What should we fix first?
- Are we reducing risk in a measurable way?
The Risk Operations Centre model addresses this directly.
As described in the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk framework , a ROC aggregates and normalises risk data across the environment, applies business context, and enables prioritised action.
Ekco delivers that model as a managed service, turning theory into operational reality.
What You Gain with Ekco’s ROC
Board-Ready Cyber Risk Clarity
Technical findings translated into business impact.
Using Cyber Risk Quantification principles embedded in the Qualys ETM platform , we help you:
- Express risk in financial and operational terms
- Show trend movement over time
- Demonstrate measurable reduction, not just activity
This is about informed decision making, not fear based reporting.
Prioritise What Actually Matters
Not all vulnerabilities are equal.
Traditional models rely heavily on severity scores. The ROC approach incorporates:
- Asset criticality
- Exploit likelihood
- Threat intelligence
- Business context
This contextual prioritisation, central to the TruRisk model , allows teams to focus remediation effort where it genuinely reduces exposure.
For stretched IT and SecOps teams, that focus is critical.
Unified Visibility Across Hybrid Environments
Cloud. On-prem. SaaS. Endpoints. OT.
The ROC model consolidates asset discovery, vulnerability data and risk telemetry into a unified view.
For leadership, this means:
- A continuously updated asset inventory
- A single source of truth for risk posture
- Fewer blind spots
For operations teams, it means less duplication and clearer direction.
From Insight to Action, Faster
The ROC is not passive reporting.
Qualys ETM enables risk orchestration, workflow integration and automated response options .
Ekco’s managed ROC service overlays this with:
- 24/7 monitoring
- Risk analysis and prioritisation
- Guidance on remediation
- Coordination with your IT and security teams
The goal is simple: Shorten the path from risk identification to risk reduction.
How Ekco Delivers ROC as a Managed Service
Technology alone does not operationalise risk.
Ekco’s ROC service combines:
- Platform configuration and integration
- Continuous monitoring and contextual analysis
- Risk reduction planning
- Executive reporting
- Ongoing optimisation aligned to your risk appetite
We work alongside your internal teams, not around them.
For mid-market organisations, this provides enterprise grade capability without building a full in house function.
For larger enterprises, it enhances internal teams with additional operational depth and structured reporting.
Take Control of Cyber Risk, Without Adding Complexity
Cyber risk is not just an IT issue. It is a business resilience issue.
Ekco’s Risk Operations Centre, powered by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management , gives you:
- Clear visibility
- Context driven prioritisation
- Measurable risk reduction
- Executive ready reporting
All delivered as a managed service aligned to your organisation’s reality.
