Why it matters
Logs are scattered across devices, firewalls, servers and cloud services, and they’re often overwritten within days. Without them, you can’t investigate an incident, prove what happened to an insurer, or meet logging requirements in your compliance framework.
Traditional SIEMs are expensive and need specialists to run. Huntress Managed SIEM is built for smaller organisations: it collects the logs that matter, retains them, and pairs them with SOC-backed detection.
“If you can’t answer ‘what happened?’ after an incident, you can’t prove it’s over.”
What’s included
- Log collection
- Security-relevant logs gathered from endpoints, servers, network devices and supported cloud services.
- Retention
- Logs stored centrally and protected from tampering, so they’re available when needed.
- Detection
- SOC-backed analysis to surface threats across sources, not just single alerts.
- Investigation
- Searchable history to support incident response and post-incident review.
- Evidence
- Reporting that helps demonstrate logging and monitoring to auditors and insurers.
Delivered with our partner Huntress and managed by our team.

Frequently asked questions
Is a SIEM only for large organisations?
Traditionally, yes. Huntress Managed SIEM is designed for smaller teams, with the collection, retention and detection handled for you.
What logs should we collect?
It depends on your environment, but typically endpoints, servers, firewalls and key cloud services. We scope it during setup.
Does it help with compliance?
Yes. Central logging and retention are requirements in ASD Essentials, CIS and ISO 27001, and SIEM reporting helps evidence them.
