Continuous Monitoring and Analytics

Full visibility of every access. Threats detected in seconds.

You cannot stop what you cannot see. We deploy continuous monitoring and behavioural analytics so every access request is logged, every anomaly is flagged, and suspicious sessions are terminated automatically across your UK business.

Real-time

monitoring of every access request and session across your organisation

Seconds

automated response time when risk thresholds are exceeded

100%

of access activity logged and available for audit and investigation

UK-wide

monitoring capability for businesses across England, Scotland, and Wales

What We Deliver

Monitoring and analytics capabilities.

Real-Time Access Monitoring

Every access request, authentication event, and session logged in real time. Full visibility of who is accessing what, from where, and on which device. No blind spots in your access activity.

Behavioural Analytics and Anomaly Detection

Baseline behaviour established for every user. Deviations from normal patterns flagged automatically. Impossible travel, unusual access times, and abnormal data volumes all trigger alerts for investigation.

Dynamic Risk Scoring

Risk scores assigned to every user session and updated continuously based on behaviour, location, device status, and access patterns. High-risk sessions challenged with step-up authentication or terminated.

Automated Threat Response

Automated response actions triggered when risk thresholds are exceeded. Sessions terminated, accounts locked, and security teams alerted without waiting for manual intervention. Response time measured in seconds.

SIEM Integration

All monitoring data fed into your SIEM platform for correlation with other security signals. Enriched alerts with full context. Threat hunting supported with complete access logs and behavioural data.

Compliance and Audit Reporting

Monitoring data used to produce compliance reports for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and cyber insurance requirements. Access logs retained and searchable. Audit evidence available on demand.

How It Works

From blind spots to complete visibility.

01

Monitoring Scope Definition

We define what needs to be monitored, which systems are in scope, and what constitutes normal behaviour for your organisation. Monitoring requirements aligned to your compliance obligations.

02

Data Collection and Integration

Log sources identified and connected. Identity provider logs, device compliance events, application access logs, and network traffic all aggregated into a single monitoring platform.

03

Baseline Establishment

Normal behaviour baselines established for users, devices, and applications over a 2 to 4 week observation period. Baselines used to calibrate anomaly detection thresholds.

04

Alert and Response Configuration

Alert rules configured based on your risk appetite. Automated response actions defined for high-confidence threats. Escalation paths documented and tested.

05

SIEM and Reporting Integration

Monitoring data integrated with your SIEM or security operations platform. Dashboards configured for your security team. Compliance reports automated and scheduled.

06

Continuous Tuning and Review

Alert thresholds tuned monthly to reduce false positives. New threat patterns incorporated as they emerge. Quarterly reviews of monitoring coverage and response effectiveness.

UK Case Studies

Monitoring deployed across the UK.

Financial Services Firm, London

Challenge: A London financial services firm had no visibility of what users were accessing after authentication. A compromised account was used to exfiltrate client data for 6 weeks before it was discovered during a routine audit.

Outcome: Continuous monitoring deployed with behavioural analytics. Anomalous data access patterns now detected within minutes. A subsequent insider threat incident was identified and contained within 4 hours.

Managed Service Provider, Glasgow

Challenge: A Glasgow MSP needed to demonstrate continuous monitoring capabilities to enterprise clients as part of their service contract requirements. Their existing logging was incomplete and not monitored in real time.

Outcome: Comprehensive monitoring platform deployed covering all client access. Real-time dashboards provided to clients. Contract requirements met. Three new enterprise clients won on the strength of the monitoring capability.

Pharmaceutical Company, Cambridge

Challenge: A Cambridge pharmaceutical company needed to meet GxP and ISO 27001 requirements for access monitoring and audit trails. Their existing logs were incomplete and stored in multiple disconnected systems.

Outcome: Centralised monitoring deployed with complete audit trails. GxP access logging requirements met. ISO 27001 certification achieved. Audit evidence produced in hours rather than days.
