Observability architecture
What to collect, why, where it goes and what it costs, designed around the questions the business asks.
Capability 06
Observability
Connect telemetry to operational and business risk. Collecting signals is easy; we build monitoring that answers the questions operators, risk teams and auditors actually ask, and proves the answer.

The challenge
Telemetry is not observability.
Most estates collect more logs than anyone reads and still cannot say who accessed a sensitive record last quarter, which service a failing switch affects, or whether an alert at 2am matters. The signals exist; the answers do not.
Observability connects telemetry to the things that matter: services, owners, obligations and risk. It is the difference between a dashboard and a decision.
What we deliver
Offerings.
Take one offering on its own, or combine them into a programme with a named lead and agreed exit criteria.
Estate monitoring with Rhinexa NMS
Discovery, health, topology, traffic and alerts for the network estate, self-hosted and agentless.
Database activity auditing
Unified and fine-grained auditing of sensitive data access, forwarded to your SIEM with alert rules that mean something.
Service-level views
Business services mapped to the assets they depend on, with objectives and the evidence that they are met.
Log and metrics platform engineering
Collection, retention and search engineered for the volumes you have, on platforms you own.
Alert design and runbooks
Fewer, better alerts, each with an owner and a runbook, so on-call time goes into fixing rather than hunting.
Approach
How an engagement runs.
A named practice lead from scoping to close, with deliverables agreed before work starts.
Ask
Write down the questions operators, risk teams and auditors need answered.
Instrument
Collect the signals that answer them, and stop collecting the ones that do not.
Connect
Map signals to services, owners and obligations.
Prove
Dashboards and evidence that show the answer, on demand.
Outcomes
What changes for you.
Measured outcomes from real engagements will be published here once clients consent.
Alerts that mean something
Deduplicated, owned and actionable, with the noise measured and reduced.
Evidence of access
Who touched which sensitive data, from where, and whether it was justified.
Fewer blind spots
Devices discovered from their own traffic; services mapped to what they depend on.

Sample dataQuestions
Frequently asked.
Which monitoring tools do you work with?
The ones you own. Where the estate lacks a live view we bring Rhinexa NMS; where a SIEM exists we route into it.
Do we need Rhinexa NMS to work with you?
No. Rhinexa NMS is the fastest route to an agentless estate view, but the practice works with your existing platforms.
Can you audit database access on our platforms?
Yes. Native auditing on the database, routed to the SIEM, with alert rules for the patterns your regulator cares about, such as out-of-hours access to sensitive columns.
Does this cover OT or clinical networks?
Yes, through passive monitoring that transmits nothing toward the devices being watched.
