You can't answer basic questions about your security posture
BALANCED+ managed SIEM services give you complete visibility into your security posture, without the operational burden.
SIEM Without the Overhead
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is the foundation of any serious security operation, but running a SIEM in-house requires dedicated analysts, constant tuning, and deep expertise in threat detection. Most mid-market businesses cannot justify that investment. Managed SIEM services from BALANCED+ give you full-stack SIEM analytics managed by our 24/7 SOC team without the operational burden.
We deploy, configure, and manage your SIEM platform, collecting and correlating logs from firewalls, endpoints, servers, cloud services, and applications. Our SOC analysts monitor your environment 24/7, investigate alerts, and respond to real threats, filtering out the noise so your team only hears about what matters.
Our managed SIEM service covers platform deployment and configuration, log source onboarding, custom detection rule development, 24/7 monitoring and alert triage, incident investigation and response, compliance reporting, and quarterly threat landscape reviews.
We integrate with your existing security stack, including firewalls, EDR, IAM, and email security, to provide unified visibility across your environment.
For businesses in regulated industries, SIEM is often a compliance requirement. SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and PIPEDA all require log collection, monitoring, and incident detection capabilities.
Our managed SIEM services provide the evidence, reports, and audit trails that compliance frameworks demand, reducing the burden on your internal team during audit season.
Enterprise SIEM, Deployed and Running in Days
Most organizations that attempt SIEM in-house spend months on deployment, wrestling with log source connectors, storage configuration, and an alert backlog that grows faster than the team can work through it. BALANCED+ has done this hundreds of times. We deploy your SIEM platform, onboard log sources, and have your environment under active monitoring typically within two weeks.
We start with a scoping session to map every log source in your environment: firewalls, endpoints, servers, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS services, email gateways, VPNs, and custom applications. Each source gets properly normalized so correlation rules actually fire on meaningful data. Storage is sized for your retention requirements, whether that is 90 days for operational monitoring or 12 months for compliance.
Once deployed, our SOC analysts begin monitoring immediately. You do not wait for a tuning period before you get value. Alerts that fire on day one are investigated by humans, not left in a queue.
Custom Detection Rules Built for Your Environment
Out-of-the-box SIEM content is a starting point, not a finished product. Generic detection rules generate noise. Our analysts build custom detection logic based on your specific environment, your applications, your user behavior, and your threat profile. The result is a SIEM that catches real threats in your environment instead of firing on activity that is normal for your business.
Our detection engineering team continuously develops and refines rules as your environment evolves. When you add a new SaaS application, spin up a cloud workload, or change your network topology, we update your detection coverage to match. Rules are documented, versioned, and reviewed quarterly against current threat intelligence.
We also integrate threat intelligence feeds into your SIEM, automatically enriching alerts with context about known malicious IPs, domains, and file hashes. When an alert fires, our analysts have everything they need to investigate fast, no manual lookups, no context switching.
Compliance Reporting That Satisfies Auditors
For businesses in regulated industries, SIEM is not optional. SOC 2 Type II requires continuous monitoring and log retention evidence. ISO 27001 requires a functioning incident detection capability. PCI DSS mandates log collection and review for systems in scope. PIPEDA requires organizations to detect and respond to breaches. Our managed SIEM service is built to satisfy all of these frameworks without requiring your team to become compliance experts.
We generate automated compliance reports on your schedule: monthly executive summaries, quarterly threat landscape reviews, and audit-ready evidence packages when your assessors come calling. Reports are formatted to match what SOC 2 auditors, ISO assessors, and PCI QSAs actually ask for, reducing back-and-forth and keeping your audit on schedule.
Our team has worked through SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and PIPEDA audits with dozens of Canadian clients. We know what auditors look for, where they push back, and how to structure evidence so the process moves quickly.
Complete Visibility Across Your Entire Security Stack
A SIEM is only as good as the data it receives. A firewall SIEM that does not see your endpoints misses lateral movement. An endpoint-only SIEM misses network-level reconnaissance. Our managed SIEM integrates with every layer of your security stack to give you unified visibility across your entire environment.
We correlate firewall logs from your FortiGate or Palo Alto with endpoint telemetry from your EDR, identity events from Active Directory and Entra ID, email security alerts, cloud access logs from Azure and AWS, and application-level events. Threats that would be invisible in any single tool become visible when the data is correlated. A compromised credential that bypasses your endpoint protection will show up as anomalous login behavior when we correlate Active Directory and VPN logs.
This integrated approach is what separates managed SIEM from simple log aggregation. You get a security operations capability, not a log archive.
We tried running our own SIEM for a year. It was a nightmare, constant tuning, storage issues, and an alert backlog nobody had time to investigate. BALANCED+ took over the platform and within a month we had clean dashboards, meaningful alerts, and our first SOC 2 audit went smoothly.
