Cybersecurity Firm (Intranet)
Overview
- Threat Condition: A full-width hero banner posts the current threat condition and links straight to the bulletin analysts need to read before their next shift.
- Threat Bulletins: A News web part carries threat bulletins and operational announcements newest first, so what matters does not live only in email.
- SOC Status: Four charts show alerts triaged over the last seven days, mean time to detect versus mean time to respond, open incidents by severity, and monitored endpoints by client industry.
- Incident Response Playbooks: An image tile layout covers ransomware, business email compromise, cloud account takeover, insider threat, data exfiltration, service disruption, lost devices, and supply chain compromise.
- Follow-the-Sun SOC: A world clock tracks Tampa, Denver, Dublin, and Singapore, and a countdown timer counts down to SOC 2 Type II audit fieldwork.
- Analyst Toolkit: Quick links gather the consoles and forms used every shift – SIEM, EDR, case management, threat intelligence, client runbooks, shift handoff notes, chain of custody, and secure file transfer.
- People and Events: A People web part recognizes certifications earned this quarter, a call to action promotes the training budget, and events and video sections close out the page.
Benefits
- One starting point: Analysts start every shift from one page instead of chasing status across chat, email, and separate consoles.
- Shared situational awareness: The threat condition banner puts the firm’s current posture in front of everyone the moment they land on the intranet.
- Metrics without a reporting cycle: Live SOC charts give leadership the same numbers the analysts see, without waiting for a separate report.
- Faster response: Response playbooks are one click from the homepage, so the right steps are found under pressure instead of searched for.
- One team across time zones: The world clock and shift handoff links make a distributed, follow-the-sun operation feel like a single team.
- Analyst retention: Certification recognition and a visible training budget help the firm keep the analysts it has already trained.
- Low maintenance: Everything is standard SharePoint, so the intranet keeps working through Microsoft updates with no developer on call.
Common Questions About This Cybersecurity Firm Intranet
What is this cybersecurity firm intranet built with?
It is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts – News, World Clock, Countdown Timer, Call to Action, Events, Video, and Text – finished with a custom theme and custom fonts. There is no custom code and there are no third-party tools. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for security and technology firms.
What is included on the cybersecurity firm intranet homepage?
The page opens with a threat condition banner, followed by threat bulletins and four SOC status charts. Below that sit the incident response playbooks, a follow-the-sun world clock, the analyst toolkit of consoles and forms, a SOC 2 audit countdown, certifications earned this quarter, a training call to action, upcoming events, and short internal videos.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Every element on this page is a standard SharePoint web part configured out of the box. That matters because out-of-the-box designs stay stable, secure, and easy to maintain – nothing breaks when Microsoft ships an update, and a site owner can keep the content current without a developer. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds.
Can this design be customized for our security firm?
Absolutely. The threat condition levels, bulletin categories, chart metrics, playbook list, office locations, and toolkit links are all tailored to how a given firm runs. Greg adapts the layout to the consoles, client mix, and shift patterns a security team actually uses, whether that is a managed security provider, an internal SOC, or a compliance-driven IT group.
How does this intranet support a follow-the-sun security operation?
The world clock shows local time in every operations center side by side, so an analyst in Dublin knows who is on shift in Tampa or Singapore. Shift handoff notes and escalation contacts sit in the analyst toolkit, and the threat condition banner carries the same message to every location at the same time.
Can Greg build this intranet for our firm?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for security firms, technology companies, and organizations running distributed operations teams.
