Cut SOC Costs by 62%. Without Cutting Coverage.
The average mid-market security team spends $400K–$1.1M per year on SIEM licenses, SOAR tools, MDR subscriptions, and analyst salaries. VORXOC replaces that entire stack with one AI SOC platform — at a fraction of the cost.

What does it cost to run a SOC? Running a security operations center costs between $335,000 and $1.1 million annually for a typical mid-market organization when factoring in SIEM licensing, SOAR platform fees, managed detection and response (MDR) subscriptions, dedicated security analyst salaries, threat intelligence feeds, and compliance reporting tools. Helxon's VORXOC AI SOC platform consolidates all of these into a single unified platform — delivering an average of 62% cost savings compared to a legacy SIEM deployment, while detecting more threats through autonomous AI investigation.
True Cost of Security
The Hidden Cost of Your Current SOC Stack
Most CISOs underestimate total SOC spend because the costs are distributed across multiple vendor invoices, headcount budgets, and IT line items. Here's the full picture.
| Cost Center | Typical Annual Spend | With VORXOC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIEM License (per-GB) | $80K – $350K / yr | Included | Splunk, Sentinel, Exabeam scale with data volume — bills spike unexpectedly |
| SOAR Platform | $30K – $120K / yr | Included | Separate SOAR tool eliminated — VORXOC has native orchestration |
| MDR / Managed Service | $80K – $200K / yr | Optional | Use Helxon SOCaaS only if you want analyst augmentation |
| Dedicated SIEM Engineers | $120K – $360K / yr | Not required | 1–3 FTE maintaining rules, tuning, and infrastructure — eliminated with AI |
| Compliance Reporting Tools | $15K – $40K / yr | Included | HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 reports generated natively in VORXOC |
| Threat Intelligence Feed | $10K – $30K / yr | Included | Embedded threat intel enrichment — no separate subscription |
| Alert Triage Analyst Time | $50K – $140K / yr | 84% automated | Based on analyst hourly cost × hours spent on false positives |
| Total Estimated Stack Cost | $385K – $1.24M / yr | $34K – $126K / yr | Published self-managed plans, 500–2,500 endpoints. Savings of 62–90% depending on tier and existing tools |
Four Mechanisms
How VORXOC Reduces Security Operations Costs
VORXOC doesn't just cut vendor bills — it changes the unit economics of security operations by replacing manual processes with autonomous AI investigation.
Flat-Rate Ingestion vs Per-GB SIEM Pricing
Legacy SIEMs like Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel charge by data volume. As your environment grows, so does your bill — unpredictably. VORXOC's plan is set by endpoint count, never by log volume. Ingest more without paying more.
Saves $80K–$350K / yrBuilt-In SOAR Eliminates Separate Automation License
VORXOC includes native playbook orchestration, automated containment, and escalation logic — the same capabilities sold as a separate $30K–$120K/yr SOAR platform. One platform, one invoice.
Saves $30K–$120K / yrAI Investigates 84% of Alerts — No Extra Analysts Needed
The average SOC analyst spends 27% of their time on alerts that turn out to be false positives. VORXOC's agentic AI handles triage and investigation autonomously, so your team focuses only on confirmed threats.
Reclaims $50K–$140K / yr in analyst timeWorks on Top of Your Existing Tools — No Rip-and-Replace
No costly migration projects. VORXOC integrates with 25+ existing tools including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Okta, and your current SIEM. Avoid the $100K–$500K cost of a full platform migration.
