Secure your Grafana surface
Alert rules paused and forgotten, dashboards shared publicly, and data sources with broad credentials. We don’t connect to Grafana 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 Grafana goes wrong
Grafana goes wrong through public snapshots: a dashboard shared for convenience exposes internal metrics and infrastructure detail indefinitely.
- Alert rules paused during maintenance and never resumed
- Dashboards published with public snapshot links exposing internal metrics
- Data sources configured with credentials broader than read access
- Anonymous access enabled on instances reachable beyond the intended network
- Notification channels pointing at decommissioned destinations
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Grafana
On Grafana we inventory public snapshots and detect alert rules left paused after maintenance.
- Alert rule state monitored so paused rules are visible
- Public snapshot inventory, since these leak infrastructure detail and are easy to forget
- Data source credential scope reviewed
- Anonymous access and network exposure tested
- Notification delivery verified end to end rather than assumed
[03] Where It Lands
Where Grafana 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 Grafana specifically
On Grafana, we resume paused alerts, revoke public snapshots, and tighten data source credentials. Access model and instance consolidation 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] Grafana FAQs
What Grafana access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a service account token with the Viewer role plus permission to list data sources, alert rules and snapshots. That covers alert state, data source credential scope and public exposure without any ability to modify dashboards.
Why are public snapshots a risk?
Public snapshots are a risk because they are unauthenticated URLs that outlive the reason they were created, and dashboards routinely reveal hostnames, service topology, traffic volumes and error patterns. That is useful reconnaissance handed over without any access control.
