Insider threat and enterprise audit
How do you build an insider threat and enterprise audit program that works?
You start with what must be logged, who reviews it and what triggers action, then build the policy, architecture and user activity monitoring to match. We design and lead insider threat, enterprise audit and user activity monitoring programs for federal programs and for contractors that hold sensitive information.
Insider threat, enterprise audit and user activity monitoring program design for federal programs and defense contractors.

What do you get?
How does the engagement run?
- A 30 minute call about your contracts, your deadline and where your sensitive data lives.
- A written scope that names the deliverables, the schedule and who does what.
- A kickoff with your leadership and your IT provider, then regular progress briefings until the deliverables are accepted.
No consultant can promise the outcome of an assessment or authorization. The assessor or authorizing official decides it.
What else do buyers ask?
Is an insider threat program required for contractors?
Cleared contractors under the National Industrial Security Program must maintain one under 32 CFR Part 117. Other contractors are not required to by that rule, but NIST SP 800-171 includes audit and insider threat awareness requirements that serve the same goals.
What is user activity monitoring?
Monitoring of user actions on systems, usually on classified or high risk networks, to detect behavior that may indicate an insider threat. It needs clear policy, legal review and defined handling of what it collects.
We already have a SIEM. Is that enough?
A SIEM collects and correlates events. An audit program decides what must be collected, how long it is kept, who reviews it and what happens next. Without that, a SIEM can hold evidence nobody looks at.
