Splunk Assessment

Our Splunk Assessment covers various areas including:

Architecture Review: Evaluation of the Splunk environment architecture, encompassing server scaling, infrastructure configuration, integration with other tools and suitability for handling current and future data loads.

Data Source Analysis: Assessment of data sources currently collected and indexed in Splunk. Verifying if all relevant sources are being addressed and if data collection is being conducted efficiently and effectively.

Indexing and Storage: Examination of indexing policies, data retention and storage management. Verifying if indexes are configured correctly, if data is being stored appropriately, and if retention policies align with regulatory and business requirements.

Performance and Scalability: Assessment of the overall performance of Splunk environment, identifying potential bottlenecks, latency issues, slow search times or any other aspect that may negatively impact the efficiency and scalability of the system.

Security and Compliance: Examination of Splunk's security configurations, including authentication, authorization, encryption, access monitoring, and alignment with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

Resource Utilization: Assessment of Splunk's resource usage, including processing capacity, storage utilization, and bandwidth consumption. Identify areas for improvement to optimize resource consumption and potentially reduce operational costs.

Governance and Best Practices: Verifying if best practices and governance standards are being adhered to in Splunk implementation. This may involve reviewing configuration management policies, indexing standardization, access control and backup and recovery procedures.

Recommendations and Action Plan: Based on the findings and analyses conducted during the assessment, a set of specific recommendations for improvements will be formulated, along with a detailed action plan to implement these recommendations.
