Notable volume without triage discipline hides real incidents in noise.
Splunk Enterprise Security
Make Splunk ES easier for analysts to run day to day
When notables pile up and risk scores feel disconnected from reality, analysts revert to spreadsheets and side channels. The platform is licensed — but the operating experience erodes trust.
Analyst workflows Risk score tuning SOC dashboards Bounded changes
Why this matters
Why this matters
Poor analyst experience shows up as slow response, uneven coverage, and weaker evidence when leadership asks what ES is delivering.
Risk scores that analysts do not trust get ignored — or worse, drive wrong prioritisation.
Leadership dashboards need outcomes analysts can explain, not vanity metrics.
What you get
Clear outputs you can use
Focused ES optimisation: notable triage workflows, risk score tuning, investigator dashboards, and practical recommendations SOC leads can schedule without a full reimplementation.
- ✓ Notable and risk-score tuning recommendations with before/after evidence
- ✓ Investigator and SOC-lead dashboard pack aligned to your operating model
- ✓ Prioritised backlog for workflow, content, and training follow-ups
Why teams talk to GKC
Calm, practical, and grounded in the environment you already have
Works in your live ES tenant — not a generic SOC maturity deck
Pairs with detection tuning and health-check findings when overlap helps
Scoped to complete in weeks with clear ownership handover
What happens next
A straightforward first step
We keep the first step straightforward so you can understand fit, scope, and likely value before deciding what to do next.
1
Observe analyst workflows
We review notable handling, risk entities, and the dashboards analysts and leads actually use under daily pressure.
2
Tune and prototype improvements
Targeted changes to risk scores, triage views, and dashboards are tested with representative notables and analyst feedback.
3
Hand over with a sustainment plan
You receive documentation, tuning notes, and a backlog your SOC can own — with optional follow-on detection or content work.
Questions teams often have
Common questions
Is this just dashboard prettification?
No. The focus is triage usefulness, risk prioritisation, and workflows analysts will actually follow — dashboards support that, they are not the whole outcome.
We already ran a health check. Do we need this?
Health checks surface gaps; optimisation implements targeted workflow and experience fixes. They complement each other when scope is clear.
Will this disrupt live SOC operations?
Changes are staged and agreed with SOC leads. We favour read-only review first, then controlled updates in agreed maintenance windows.
