Observability and security architecture for enterprise teams
We are a vendor-agnostic team of architects led by Zbigniew Gajuk, with 26+ years at Fortune 500 scale. We review your environment, recommend the right platform across Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Datadog, and Cribl, implement it, and run fast migrations.
What challenges do enterprise teams face?
Cost, compliance, and architecture decisions compound as data volumes grow and platforms shift. The four pressures below show up in nearly every enterprise environment we review.
Ingest Cost Escalation
SIEM and APM costs scale with data volume, and renewal uplift compounds annually. Splunk renewals commonly run around 9% per year, so architecture decisions get driven by budget pressure instead of security requirements.
Platform Migration Pressure
Vendor acquisitions, product sunsets, and forced platform moves create deadline-driven transitions. Without a control layer in front of the stack, each one turns into a long, high-risk rebuild rather than a routing change.
Compliance Complexity
PII, PHI, and regulated data flow through telemetry pipelines, and multi-jurisdiction rules demand classification and routing at scale. We support your compliance program. Your compliance team still owns the audit.
Data Volume Growth
Cloud-native infrastructure, AI workloads, and expanded mandates push telemetry volume up year over year. Firewall allow logs alone commonly run 60-70% of volume, and duplicate events add another 30-50%. Your number depends on your environment.
How does an engagement work?
We follow the same lifecycle on every engagement: review, design and recommend, implement, then migrate and optimize. The architecture review is free and grounds every recommendation in your real data.
Architecture Review
Zbigniew Gajuk reviews your environment, maps every telemetry source by cost and analytical value, and identifies where spend outruns security value. This review is the free hook that grounds every later recommendation in your actual data.
- Environment assessment with volume breakdown by source type
- Cost and value scoring for each high-volume source
- Findings report with prioritized reduction and risk targets
Design and Recommend
We model the full picture across Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Datadog, and the Cribl control layer, then give you the honest pros and cons of each path. You choose the platform. We stay vendor-agnostic because the right answer depends on your environment.
- Complete data source and destination inventory
- Cost modeling across Splunk, Sentinel, Datadog, and Cribl
- Tiering and routing blueprint mapping each source to the right destination
- Platform recommendation with honest tradeoffs for your team to decide
Implement
We build the production architecture at config-level depth: routing rules, enrichment, schema normalization, and replay. A vendor-neutral control layer sits in front of your SIEMs and APMs so you keep full detection coverage and compliance archives.
- Production routing, enrichment, and normalization across targeted sources
- Control layer in front of existing SIEM and APM platforms
- Replay architecture for investigation and compliance retention
- Parallel validation and structured cutover
Migrate and Optimize
With a control layer in place, migration becomes a parallel run plus a routing change instead of an 18-month rebuild. We then run quarterly governance to tune routing, absorb new sources, and hold your cost targets as the environment changes.
- Parallel-run migrations with no detection gap during cutover
- The next migration becomes a routing change
- Quarterly performance, cost, and governance reviews
- Routing adaptation for new sources and platform changes
