Data Ownership

Your Security Data.
Your Rules. Period.

The Problem

Why Data Ownership Matters in a SIEM

Your SIEM holds the most sensitive telemetry in your organization. Yet many platforms make it surprisingly hard to control where that data goes, how long you keep it, or whether you can leave.

  • Jurisdiction Risk

    Cloud SIEMs process data in vendor-chosen regions. A policy change or acquisition can move your logs across borders — violating GDPR, DPDP, or sector mandates overnight.

  • Vendor Lock-In

    Proprietary query languages, closed formats, and steep egress fees make migration a multi-year project. Your historical security intelligence becomes hostage to a contract renewal.

  • Retention Compromise

    Ingestion-priced SIEMs force cost-driven retention decisions. Teams delete logs after 30 days to control bills — then discover they need 6 months of history during an investigation.

Pillar 1

Where Your Data Lives

Choose a cloud region at provisioning time — data stays there. Or deploy on-premises for absolute sovereignty. Your compliance team decides, not your vendor.

On-Premises Deployment

For absolute control — air-gapped, classified, or sector-regulated environments where no byte leaves your perimeter.

  • Runs in your data center or private cloud
  • Air-gap compatible (no internet required)
  • You manage the infrastructure and encryption keys
  • Same SIEM capabilities as cloud edition

Regional Cloud Deployment

For teams that want SaaS simplicity with data residency guarantees locked at provisioning.

  • Data stays in the chosen region — no cross-border movement
  • Meets GDPR, DPDP, PDPA localization requirements
  • Managed infrastructure — no patching, no scaling ops
  • MSSP editions available with per-tenant region selection
Pillar 2

How Long You Keep It

Define retention by data type, compliance mandate, or business need. Hot/warm/cold tiering lets you retain years of data without paying hot-tier prices for cold archives.

Tiered Storage

Active detection runs on hot-tier indexed data. Aged logs move to warm (searchable) or cold (S3 archive) automatically based on your policies.

  • Hot: real-time correlation & alerting
  • Warm: indexed, queryable for investigations
  • Cold: S3-compatible object storage for compliance
  • Per-source retention rules (e.g., identity logs: 7 yr, firewall: 90 d)

Storage Optimization

Deduplication and indexed/raw separation reduce storage consumption without sacrificing detection quality or forensic completeness.

  • Log deduplication at ingestion
  • Indexed data separate from raw log storage
  • Purchasable storage add-ons (cloud edition)
  • Archive to S3 for multi-year mandates (HIPAA, SOX, PCI)
Pillar 3

Who Sees It

Encryption, masking, and access controls ensure only authorized personnel see sensitive security data — at rest, in transit, and on screen.

AES-256 at Rest

All stored log data encrypted with AES-256

TLS 1.2+ in Transit

Every connection encrypted end-to-end

HSM Integration

Hardware key management for regulated environments

Field-Level Masking

PII anonymization configurable per compliance need

Granular RBAC

Restrict data visibility by role, team, or classification

Tamper-Proof Logs

Integrity verification for forensic & audit use

Pillar 4

When to Move It — Zero Lock-In

Your security data is yours. Forward it anywhere via syslog. No proprietary formats trapping your historical intelligence. No punitive egress pricing to export your own data.

Syslog Forwarding

Forward any log stream to other SIEMs, data lakes, or archival systems via standard syslog protocols. Run Log360 alongside existing tools or migrate gradually.

  • Forward to any syslog-compatible destination
  • No proprietary export formats
  • Run dual-SIEM during migration periods

MSSP Multi-Tenant

Dedicated MSSP editions (on-prem and cloud) with logical tenant isolation. Each tenant can have independent retention, residency, and access policies.

  • Logical data isolation per tenant
  • Per-tenant retention and region policies
  • Available in both on-prem and cloud editions
Infrastructure Trust
