SIEM architecture review
Current log sources, rule coverage, alert volume, dwell time. Output: a tuning roadmap and a noise-reduction plan.

Detection & Response — SIEM, Threat Hunting, Incident Response
SIEM architecture, detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response planning, and tabletop exercises. Advisory and build — not a managed SOC. We make your team faster and your detections truer.
24/7 monitoring
SIEM integration
IR playbook included
Most security teams have more alerts than people.
The default response — buy a bigger SIEM, license more rules, add another analyst — makes the problem worse, not better. The fix is detection that’s tuned to your environment, response runbooks your team has actually rehearsed, and an incident response plan that maps to your real comms structure when something breaks at 3 a.m. We don’t sell you a managed SOC. We make your existing one work.
What’s included.
Capability · 02
Detection engineering
Write and tune detections aligned to MITRE ATT&CK techniques relevant to your environment. Sigma, KQL, SPL, or whatever your platform speaks.
MITRE ATT&CKSigmaKQL
Capability · 03
Threat hunting
Proactive hunts on your data, scoped to specific threat actor TTPs or recent vulnerabilities.
MITRE ATT&CKTTP-scoped
Capability · 04
Incident response plan development
Written IR plan, escalation tree, communication templates, legal-hold procedures, and external-comms language ready before the incident.
NIST 800-61SANS IR
Capability · 05
Tabletop exercises
Facilitated scenarios mapped to your business risks. Outcome is a list of process gaps you didn't know you had.

Capability · 06
Post-incident review
For incidents that have already happened. Forensic analysis, root cause, control gap mapping, lessons learned.

Outcomes.
- A tuned SIEM that escalates the alerts that matter and stays quiet on the ones that don’t.
- An IR plan your team has actually rehearsed, with comms templates that don’t require a lawyer at 3 a.m.
- A tabletop after-action report you can take to your board as evidence of due diligence.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you run a managed SOC?
No. Managed SOCs have their place; this isn't it. We make your team and your platform better. If you want a managed SOC, we'll recommend one.
What SIEM platforms do you work with?
Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, Chronicle, Sumo, Devo, and others. Detection content is tuned to whatever you run.
How often should we run tabletops?
Annually at minimum. Quarterly is better. We run yours; we also train your team to run their own.
What's in the IR plan deliverable?
Plan document (scope, roles, escalation), runbook library (top 5 scenarios), comms templates (legal, exec, press, customer, regulator), and a contact tree.
Can you respond to an active incident?
Through the SecureLayer7 partnership, yes — but we prefer to be your second call, not your first. The first call is your incident-response retainer (Mandiant, CrowdStrike, etc.); we coordinate, advise, and run lessons-learned.
