Secure your Splunk surface
Index retention, correlation rules that stopped firing, and forwarders that quietly went silent. We don’t connect to Splunk 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 Splunk goes wrong
Splunk goes wrong silently: a correlation search that errors on every run reports nothing, which looks identical to finding nothing.
- Indexes with retention below your evidence requirement
- Correlation searches disabled or failing without anyone noticing
- Forwarders that stopped sending, leaving sources dark
- Role capabilities granting broad search across sensitive indexes
- Summary indexing masking gaps in the underlying data
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Splunk
On Splunk we monitor correlation search health including execution errors, and treat a missing forwarder as a finding.
- Retention verified per index against the data it holds
- Correlation search health monitored, since a rule that errors silently is worse than no rule at all
- Source ingestion continuity checked so a missing forwarder is a finding
- Role capability review across sensitive indexes
- Data completeness validated rather than inferred from dashboards
[03] Where It Lands
Where Splunk 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 Splunk specifically
On Splunk, we repair failing correlation searches, restore ingestion, and tighten role capabilities. Index architecture and retention redesign we project-manage given licensing impact.
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] Splunk FAQs
What Splunk access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a read-only role able to run searches against internal indexes and read saved search definitions, index configuration and forwarder status. That covers rule health, ingestion continuity and retention verification.
Why check ingestion continuity?
We check ingestion continuity because a source that stops sending produces no alerts, and no alerts reads as good news on a dashboard. Konfirmity treats a forwarder that has gone quiet as a monitoring gap, since you are blind to that source until someone notices.
