About SocSage

Built by people who spent seventeen years running security from the inside.

SocSage is a product of Reddome — a UK cybersecurity firm that has defended banks, hospitals, fintech unicorns and high-street retail. We built the tool we always wished we had.

Meet the founder

17 years in the trenches.
A decade building SOCs that didn't scale.

Bazam has spent his career inside security operations at the sharp end — leading teams across fintech, banking, healthcare and critical infrastructure. He has built, rescued and re-platformed SOCs for every scale of organisation: from neobanks under live incident, to NHS trusts under regulatory pressure, to PE-backed retail chains with Sentinel deployments going sideways.

The pattern was always the same: Tier-1 analysts drowning in alerts, two senior people doing the work of ten, and a monthly retainer to an MSSP nobody trusted. SocSage is his answer — a visionary bet that agentic AI, run with strict human-in-the-loop gates, can give every MSP and SME the SOC they deserve.

Our principles

Three rules we won't break.

AI recommends. Humans decide.

Full automation of destructive security actions is a bad idea. SocSage is aggressive on triage and investigation. It is deliberate on approval gates.

No black boxes.

Every tool call is logged. Every reasoning step is inspectable. If we can't explain a decision, we won't ship the feature.

MSPs keep the brand.

When your client looks at the SOC, they should see you — not us. White-label isn't a feature we grudgingly offer; it's a belief.

How we got here

Seventeen years of "there has to be a better way."

From the first MSSP retainer we signed in 2009, through the first Sentinel workspace we stood up in 2019, to the first SOC agent we shipped in 2024.

2009

The retainer trap

Bazam signs the first outsourced MSSP contract for a UK fintech. Six months in, the quality-vs-price gap becomes obvious.

2014

Healthcare at 3am

Leads IR at a London NHS trust ransomware event. Lesson: 80% of incident work is enrichment and context — perfect for automation, if you trust it.

2019

Sentinel, at scale

Deploys Microsoft Sentinel across 40+ banking tenants. Codifies the 14-step investigation runbook that would later become SocSage's core pipeline.

2023

Reddome is born

Founds Reddome as a UK-sovereign security consultancy. Advisory work reveals the real customer: MSPs with 5–50 SME tenants and no viable SOC option.

2024

First AI agent

Ships the Blue Team Tier-1 agent on Azure OpenAI. Sub-90-second triage is proven at 47 live tenants.

2026

SocSage GA

14-step pipeline, SocSage swarm, full HITL gates, multi-tenant white-label console. You are reading the website.
