Secure your Better Stack surface
Uptime monitor coverage, on-call routing, and heartbeat checks that stopped mattering. We don’t connect to Better Stack to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Better Stack goes wrong
Better Stack goes wrong through paused monitors and stale heartbeats: both produce a quiet dashboard that means nothing.
- Critical endpoints without monitors
- Monitors paused and forgotten
- On-call escalation ending without a responder
- Heartbeat checks for jobs that no longer run, producing permanent noise
- Status page content diverging from real incident state
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Better Stack
On Better Stack we reconcile monitor coverage against your service inventory and detect monitors left paused.
- Monitor coverage reconciled against your service inventory
- Paused monitor detection
- Escalation completeness verified
- Heartbeat relevance reviewed so alert fatigue does not build
- Status accuracy checked against monitoring
[03] Where It Lands
Where Better Stack lands in your registers
Logging and alerting platforms enter the asset register as critical dependencies, since losing them blinds every detective control you own. Access reviews cover who can alter retention, silence alerts, or read logs containing personal data. The risk register carries what a monitoring gap actually means: an incident window you would not be able to reconstruct.
[04] How We Engage
On Better Stack specifically
On Better Stack, we add missing monitors, resume paused ones, and repair escalation. On-call structure design we plan with your team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Better Stack FAQs
What Better Stack access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs an API token with read access to monitors, heartbeats, on-call schedules and incidents. That covers coverage measurement, escalation validation and alert hygiene.
Why do stale heartbeats matter?
Because a heartbeat for a job that no longer runs alerts permanently, and permanent alerts get muted. That mute then hides genuine failures, so alert hygiene is a real control rather than housekeeping.
