Ingestion is read-only by default. Analysis proposes; humans approve consequential responses. Evidence is structured data — not slide decks pasted into GRC tools at the last minute. The pipeline below is the same whether your source is cloud misconfiguration, endpoint telemetry, or authorized offensive testing.
01
Ingest
Agents, cloud APIs, SIEM forwards, DNS intelligence, and curated threat pulses enter per-tenant queues with backpressure and integrity checks. Nothing mutates your environments during ingest.
02
Normalize
Events align to OCSF-style fields, assets link in a graph, and techniques tag to MITRE so analysts compare apples to apples across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem.
03
Analyze
NorthSec AI scores risk, correlates chains, and proposes agentic SOC actions — every playbook step waits for human approval unless you explicitly automate low-risk responses.
04
Respond
Approved actions isolate hosts, block indicators, open tickets, and notify stakeholders. Authorization vault records who approved what, when, and under which pentest or incident scope.
05
Prove
Compliance objects, court-ready exports, and quarterly board narratives pull from the same store operators trust — eliminating duplicate evidence hunts before audits.
