SIEM Management
Co-managed SIEM tuning, detection engineering, and log coverage
What this engagement covers
The service
Your SIEM is only as good as the detections running in it. We run detection engineering, parser hygiene, and log-source coverage on your behalf - Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, Chronicle, whatever you run.
What we test
Log source inventory and parser correctness, detection backlog, alert fatigue rates, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, and SIEM ingest cost optimization.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting SIEM Management with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within SIEM Management. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing SIEM Management.
Attack Surface & Vulnerability Vectors
Silent log sources (no data flowing)
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Silent log sources (no data flowing) across your SIEM Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Broken parsers dropping critical fields
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Broken parsers dropping critical fields across your SIEM Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Detections with >50% false positive rate
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Detections with >50% false positive rate across your SIEM Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Missing MITRE ATT&CK tactic coverage
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Missing MITRE ATT&CK tactic coverage across your SIEM Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Runaway ingest costs on noisy sources
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Runaway ingest costs on noisy sources across your SIEM Management environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
We act as your detection engineering team - authoring rules, tuning false positives, maintaining the content library, and reporting coverage against frameworks monthly.
Log source discovery and onboarding
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting log source discovery and onboarding across your siem management deployment.
Parser and normalization validation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting parser and normalization validation across your siem management deployment.
Detection content authoring
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting detection content authoring across your siem management deployment.
Continuous tuning loop
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting continuous tuning loop across your siem management deployment.
Cost and volume optimization
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting cost and volume optimization across your siem management deployment.
Quarterly red-team validation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting quarterly red-team validation across your siem management deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Log source onboarding and validation
- Custom detection content library
- Alert tuning and false-positive reduction
- MITRE ATT&CK coverage dashboard
- Ingest cost optimization reports
- Monthly detection engineering review
- Runbook creation for every detection
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 & A.8.20 | Management of technical vulnerabilities and network security verification through independent technical assessments. |
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework | PR.AC, DE.CM, RS.AN | Technical testing verifying access controls, anomaly detection efficacy, and incident response mitigation capabilities. |
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(8) | Formal technical evaluation verifying the integrity of ePHI safeguards, network segmentation, and privileged access safeguards. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our SIEM Management service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Log source onboarding and validation, Custom detection content library, Alert tuning and false-positive reduction, MITRE ATT&CK coverage dashboard, Ingest cost optimization reports. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, HIPAA control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is Ongoing monthly service, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $3,500/month. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
