GRC Monitoring Architecture: Purpose-Built for Compliance
Decoupled GRC monitoring systems that separate compliance data from operational monitoring, purpose-built for long-term audit storage and framework-specific data collection.
The Hidden Problem
Most organizations bolt GRC monitoring onto existing operational systems. This creates expensive storage costs, security risks, and monitoring that's either too noisy or too sparse for compliance needs.
Our Solution
We separate your GRC monitoring from operational monitoring entirely. This means the right data granularity for compliance, affordable long-term audit storage, and zero increase to your security exposure.
Why Decoupled GRC Monitoring Matters
Operational vs. Compliance Data Are Different
Operational monitoring needs high-frequency, short-retention data. GRC monitoring needs specific control evidence with long-term storage. Mixing them costs a fortune and provides poor visibility for both purposes.
Long-Term Storage Without Breaking the Budget
By collecting only compliance-relevant data at appropriate intervals, we eliminate the cost spiral of storing operational telemetry for audit periods. Your audit logs become affordable to maintain for years.
Zero New Attack Surface
Everything runs in your infrastructure using open-source tools you control. No new vendor access, no compliance data leaving your environment, no additional security review cycles.
What We Build
Framework-Specific Data Collection
We map your control requirements to precise data collection
SOC 2 access reviews get different monitoring than ISO 27001 change management
No generic dashboards that miss what auditors actually need
Independent Storage & Retention
Compliance data flows to dedicated storage optimized for long-term retention
Audit retrieval without searching through operational noise
Your operational monitoring keeps running efficiently without compliance overhead
Audit-Ready Reporting
Automated evidence collection and reporting that maps directly to your framework requirements
When auditors ask for six months of access logs, you have them instantly
No more scrambling to compile evidence from multiple operational systems
Service Delivery
