Secure your Elastic surface
Index lifecycle deleting evidence early, detection rules disabled, and clusters exposed without authentication. We don’t connect to Elastic to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.
Book a Demo[01] What This Surface Exposes
Where Elastic goes wrong
Elastic goes wrong in two directions: clusters exposed without authentication, and lifecycle policies deleting evidence before you need it.
- Index lifecycle policies deleting data before your retention requirement
- Detection rules disabled or erroring silently
- Clusters reachable without authentication, which remains a common exposure
- Role mappings granting broad index access
- Snapshot repositories unencrypted or unverified
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Elastic
On Elastic we test cluster exposure from outside and verify lifecycle policy against your actual retention requirement.
- Lifecycle policy verified against retention requirement per index
- Detection rule health monitored including execution errors
- Cluster exposure tested from outside the network
- Role mapping reviewed against index sensitivity
- Snapshot integrity and encryption verified, because an untested backup is a hope
[03] Where It Lands
Where Elastic 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 Elastic specifically
On Elastic, we repair failing detection rules, correct lifecycle policies, and close authentication gaps. Cluster architecture and role model redesign we project-manage.
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] Elastic FAQs
What Elastic access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a role with monitor and view_index_metadata privileges, plus read access to detection rules where you run Elastic Security. That covers cluster configuration, lifecycle policy and rule health without reading document contents.
Do you verify our snapshots actually work?
We verify snapshot repository configuration, encryption and recency. An untested backup is a hope rather than a control, so where you want restore testing we build that into the managed service rather than assuming success.
