Does your SIEM catch attacks — or just collect expensive logs?

GrayCheck assesses your SIEM against 100+ criteria across 10 domains — a structured questionnaire, workshops with your team and insight into the running system instead of mere self-assessment. You get a vendor-neutral maturity score, your biggest gaps and a clear picture of what actually protects you.

Independent — we don’t sell SIEMs. Built on real assessments and 15+ years of security practice.

A look at your security — from outside, in defense and at the foundation

Security has more than one perspective. We examine all three — vendor-independent — and deliver concrete tools and services for each.

From outside

Attack surface

What attackers can see and exploit from outside: exposed assets, vulnerabilities, leaked credentials — detected and ranked by real risk. Available as a guided service.

Detection maturity

Whether your detection truly works — assessed on the running system, not just by self-assessment. Today for SIEMs (GrayCheck), gradually also for other security tools and SOC processes.

WP-Slot 4 · “Why risks go unsolved”
The real problem

Why a SIEM misses attacks — even though it technically “does everything”

A SIEM rarely fails on feature set. It fails on gaps in data, architecture, processes and operations — and those stay invisible until it matters.

  • Missing or critical log sources — what never arrives can’t be detected
  • Flawed architecture — data flows, integration and scaling aren’t built to last
  • Rules left at factory defaults — never tuned to your own environment
  • Alert floods and false positives — what matters drowns in the noise
  • Unclear processes — no structured triage, prioritization or clear ownership
  • Gaps in resilience and operations — outages, data loss and understaffed teams go unnoticed
blind spot

Looks like full coverage — except for the blind spot where the attack sits.

That’s how false confidence forms: the SIEM is running, the dashboards are green — but when it counts, it doesn’t detect what matters. GrayCheck makes exactly these gaps visible — before an attacker finds them.


WP-Slot 5 · “One platform”
GrayCheck — the independent SIEM assessment

An evidence-based verdict on your SIEM — vendor-neutral

100+ criteria across 10 domains, assessed on the running system instead of just surveyed. Three modes — from the maturity of a single SIEM to a guided migration. You decide how deep you go.

Assess

The maturity check for a single SIEM.

  • Maturity per domain, on a clear scale
  • Your biggest gaps — prioritized by risk
  • NIS2 relevance at a glance
  • Concrete first steps

Compare

Two SIEMs in a weighted comparison — as a solid basis for decisions.

  • Both systems compared against the same criteria
  • Weighted overall picture with a strengths/weaknesses overview
  • Cost view across license, staff and third-party tools (TCO)
  • A clear, justified recommendation

Migrate

From verdict to execution — the guided path to the target system.

  • Mapping of log sources and detection rules (source → target)
  • Risk and gap analysis for the switch
  • A phased plan with realistic effort estimates
  • Guidance through the critical steps

WP-Slot 6 · “Core platform features”
Methodology

Why maturity instead of a feature list?

A SIEM that “can” do every feature still often fails to detect what counts. GrayCheck doesn’t assess feature scope, but actual effectiveness — structured, traceable and independent.

Assessed on the running system

Not just self-assessment: a questionnaire, workshops with your team and insight into your running SIEM together form a reliable picture.

Vendor-neutral

We don’t sell SIEMs. We assess the impact in your environment — independent of the product in use.

Structured across 10 domains

From log sources through detection to resilience — every relevant area is examined systematically and weighted by risk.

Mapped to NIS2 & ISO 27001

Your results map directly to the regulatory requirements — usable for audits and evidence obligations.

AI-assisted, not AI-replaced

The assessment comes from people with security practice. Our AI engine GrayD supports them — and checks the results for inconsistencies.

One clear result

The outcome isn’t a data graveyard, but an understandable maturity score, your biggest gaps and concrete next steps.

The same logic — effectiveness instead of a feature list — transfers to other security tools and SOC processes. The SIEM comes first, because that’s where most gaps go unnoticed.

Compliance

NIS2 and ISO 27001 — evidenced, not ticked off

Security evidence rarely fails on willingness, but on provability. GrayCheck delivers your SIEM’s detection and logging maturity in a structured, traceable form — directly usable for audits and evidence obligations.

StandardWhat a GrayCheck assessment delivers
NIS2
EU directive
Traceable statements on detection coverage, logging and incident documentation — as a basis for reporting obligations.
ISO 27001A solid classification of logging, monitoring and continual improvement.
BSI IT-Grundschutz
/ SOC 2
A structured assessment of detection, resilience and operations as an audit basis.

The assessment doesn’t replace a certificate — it provides the solid basis that audits and evidence build on. Beyond the SIEM, our other services (Attack-Surface Monitoring, Security Check, architecture) feed into the same standards.
