Telemetry engineering

Collect less. Understand more. Pay for what you actually search.

A SIEM is the system that collects logs from everything you run and connects the dots between them. These projects fail in two directions: too little data to answer a question during an incident, or so much data that the invoice outgrows the value. The work is deciding which sources matter, which fields to keep, where to store them and for how long. That engineering is the service.

Sound familiar?

If two of these describe your week, this is the service that fixes it.

  • Your SIEM bill grows every quarter but detection quality does not.

  • The one log source you needed during the last investigation was not being collected.

  • Nobody can state your retention period without checking three documents.

What the service covers

How the work is actually done, day to day.

01

Designing the pipeline

We decide source by source what gets parsed, kept and stored where — high-value data in fast search, bulk data in cheap archive that is still retrievable when an investigation needs it.

02

Detection written as code

Rules live in version control, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tested against simulated attacks before release. You can see exactly which attacker techniques you would currently catch, and which you would not.

03

Retention that survives an audit

Schedules aligned to CERT-In guidelines, your sector regulator and your customer contracts, with evidence that the logs have not been tampered with.

04

Making investigations fast

Saved queries, dashboards and data enrichment so an analyst answers 'what did this account do last Tuesday' in minutes instead of rebuilding the context each time.

What you receive

Documents you can hand to an auditor.

  • Log source register with the gaps clearly marked
  • Cost model across storage tiers, before and after
  • Detection-as-code repository you own
  • Retention and log integrity policy
  • Dashboard and saved-query pack for investigations

Platforms we work with

Fluent in the tools, loyal to none of them.

If you already hold licences, we operate them — no resale margin, no forced migration. When a change genuinely closes a gap or saves money, you see both cost models side by side before anyone recommends anything.

Onboarding

How siem & log management goes live.

  1. 01

    A 45-minute conversation

    What you run, what worries you, and what a bad week has already cost you. No slides and no product pitch — we are working out whether we can genuinely help.

  2. 02

    Posture assessment

    We examine the estate, compare it against a recognised framework and hand you a prioritised list of gaps. The report is yours to keep whether or not you buy anything.

  3. 03

    Onboarding and a rehearsal

    Log sources, agents, access and escalation contacts are agreed, then we run a live drill of a real incident before we call the service live. Untested escalation paths are decoration.

  4. 04

    Steady-state operations

    Monitoring, response and reporting run to a written SLA, with a quarterly review that changes the plan whenever your business changes.
