SOC Command Center Overview
The GOVERN SOC Command Center (Surface 4) is a 24/7 AI governance monitoring interface designed for security operations analysts. It provides a keyboard-first, dark-mode optimized environment for continuous monitoring of AI system behavior.
Design Principles
Keyboard-first. Every action in the SOC is accessible via keyboard shortcut. Analysts should be able to triage an alert, assign it, escalate it, and resolve it without reaching for the mouse.
Dark mode by default. The SOC is optimized for dark environments. The default theme uses deep navy backgrounds (#0d1520) with high-contrast cyan (#00d4ff) accents that reduce eye strain during extended monitoring sessions.
Real-time, always. The alert feed updates via WebSocket. There is no polling delay. A new alert appears on screen within 500ms of detection.
Density over decoration. The SOC interface prioritizes information density. Alerts are rendered in compact rows. The detail panel opens inline. Full-screen panels are available for deep investigation.
What the SOC Monitors
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Policy violations | Output blocked by governance policy |
| Drift events | Model behavior drifting from baseline |
| Score changes | Assessment scores crossing thresholds |
| Security events | Prompt injection attempts, data leakage |
| System health | Probe disconnections, API failures |
| Compliance events | NIST/CMMC control failures |
Alert Severity Levels
| Level | Color | Response SLA |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Red (#ff5050) | 15 minutes |
| High | Orange (#ff8800) | 1 hour |
| Medium | Yellow (#ffa700) | 4 hours |
| Low | Blue (#00d4ff) | 24 hours |
| Info | Gray | No SLA |
Triage Workflow
The standard triage workflow moves an alert through five states:
New → Acknowledged → Investigating → Escalated → Resolved ↘ Closed (false positive)See Alert Triage for the full workflow.
Access and Roles
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
soc_analyst | View and triage alerts, run investigations |
soc_lead | All analyst access + escalation management, rule editing |
soc_admin | All lead access + SIEM integration config, user management |
SOC access requires multi-factor authentication. Session tokens expire after 8 hours of inactivity.
