There's GOLD in them thar logs!


Collecting and reviewing IT audit logs is essential for MSSPs and their end user clients to maintain robust security and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards and internal security policies. Audit logs serve as a critical record of all activities within an IT environment, capturing details like user actions, system changes, access attempts, and data transactions.

Analyzing logs allows MSSPs to detect anomalies, unauthorized access, policy violations, and potential security breaches in real-time or retrospectively. Regular review of these logs helps in identifying patterns or incidents that might not trigger immediate alerts but could signify a slow, creeping threat or internal misuse. Documenting findings from this analysis is crucial for understanding the security posture, assessing risks, and planning remediation strategies. This documentation feeds directly into the Plan of Actions and Milestones (POAM), which outlines steps to mitigate vulnerabilities, close gaps, and improve security measures.

By maintaining comprehensive logs and performing meticulous analysis, organizations not only comply with legal and industry-specific regulations but also enhance their capability to respond to and prevent security incidents, thereby safeguarding your customer assets, reputation, and operational integrity.

And, we can help you drive revenue, demonstrate competitive differentiation and increase customer retention.
