SIEM Integration: Feeding SaaS Audit Logs into Splunk
The question a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) asks: “My SOC team lives in Splunk. Can your platform feed my SIEM, or are you a black box we have to trust?”
The short answer
Yes — a built-in normaliser exports our hash-chained audit trail as CEF, the format Splunk ingests natively, with severity scoring your SOC can alert on. Streaming push delivery is the enterprise-tier next step.
The full executive answer
You can pull our audit trail straight into Splunk today. We built a SIEM export layer that normalises every audit event — logins, exports, erasures, permission changes, payment events — into a stable, vendor-neutral security-event shape, plus a CEF renderer (Common Event Format, the lingua franca that Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Chronicle and Elastic all ingest natively). Each event carries a severity score on the standard 0–10 scale, weighted so destructive or security-relevant actions (erasures, key revocations, failed payments, sanctions hits) rank high enough for your SOC to alert on without knowing anything about our domain.
The underlying source is worth a sentence: it's not application logs, it's a purpose-built append-only audit table where every row is hash-chained to the previous one — so your analysts aren't just receiving events, they're receiving tamper-evident events. Writes go through a single service-role-only function; there are no update or delete permissions on that table at the database level. If anyone — including us — altered history, the chain would break visibly.
What's honest to add: this is a pull/export integration today, not a streaming syslog firehose with per-customer delivery guarantees — real-time push delivery and a formally documented event dictionary are on the enterprise-tier roadmap for when we onboard our first SOC-operating customer, and we'd happily co-design the schema with your team. For evaluation, we can generate a sample CEF export from a demo tenant this week.
