Secure your Honeycomb surface
Trigger coverage, dataset retention, and API keys with write access spread across services. We don’t connect to Honeycomb to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Honeycomb goes wrong
Honeycomb goes wrong through sampling: aggressive sampling controls cost and quietly discards the rare events security work depends on.
- Datasets without triggers on the conditions that matter
- Retention below the window needed to investigate
- API keys with broad write scope shared across services
- Triggers firing to destinations nobody monitors
- Sampling configured so aggressively that security-relevant events are lost
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Honeycomb
On Honeycomb we review sampling configuration against what you need to retain for investigation, and check trigger coverage per dataset.
- Trigger coverage assessed per dataset
- Retention checked against requirement
- Key scope reviewed per service
- Trigger destinations verified as monitored
- Sampling configuration reviewed against what you need to retain for investigation
[03] Where It Lands
Where Honeycomb 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 Honeycomb specifically
On Honeycomb, we add triggers, correct destinations, and re-scope keys. Sampling and retention strategy we plan with you given cost implications.
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] Honeycomb FAQs
What Honeycomb access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a configuration API key with read access to datasets, triggers and boards. We read which triggers exist and where they route, not your event data.
How does sampling affect security investigations?
Sampling optimises for representative traffic, and security-relevant events are usually the rare ones. A sampling rate that is fine for performance analysis can discard exactly the anomalous requests you would want during an investigation.
