The Assessment Covers Six Areas
Security visibility
Whether suspicious activity is detected across the whole environment, and whether alert volumes are manageable.
Incident response
How much of each investigation is documented, repeatable and automated across security tools.
Observability
How quickly the team finds the cause of a slow or failed service, using logs, metrics and traces.
Cloud and infrastructure insights
Visibility of on-premises and cloud infrastructure, containers and Kubernetes from one platform.
Asset and risk awareness
The accuracy of the inventory of users, devices and applications, and its link to vulnerability data.
Governance and compliance
Data retention, audit effort and visibility of data across cloud, SaaS and on-premises systems.
Built by IPTel Engineers
The questions reflect what IPTel engineers check when they review security operations, incident response, observability and compliance reporting.
The report ranks the gaps by risk and lists practical next steps, so planning and budget go where they make the most difference. Cisco owns Splunk, and IPTel delivers Splunk as part of the Cisco portfolio. IPTel also provides Cisco Powered Observability managed services from a 24/7 Network Operations Centre staffed by Australian engineers.
