SECURITY SELF-ASSESSMENT

Blind Spot Scan: what can't your security see?

A Blind Spot Scan is a fixed-scope, consulting-led measurement, run by Knowledge Grid, of what your security can't see today: the data sources that are missing, the behavior your detections would miss, and the verdicts you can't confirm quickly or prove. It works read-only from files your own tools already produce, and every finding comes with the evidence behind it and the action that would close the gap.

HOW EVERY SCAN RUNS

Four steps, read-only throughout

  1. 1

    Scope

    A short call to choose the options, confirm your tools and agree who receives the results.

  2. 2

    Export

    Your team provides read-only exports, or runs a read-only query pack we supply.

  3. 3

    Analyze and review

    We run the measurements, and an assessor reviews every finding before it is released.

  4. 4

    Read out

    We walk your team through the findings and leave a written readout with you.

What you receive

  • A readout that opens with what is working in your environment, then the findings for each option you chose.
  • The evidence behind every finding, so your team can check it for itself.
  • A map of your findings by kind of data: identity, endpoint, network, cloud, SaaS and email.
  • Recommended actions for each option, ordered by the effort they take.
  • A readout session, and a written summary you can share with leadership, auditors or your provider.

How we handle your data

  • Read-only access throughout. Nothing is installed, and we never need write access to any tool.
  • We work from exports and summaries: source lists, daily volumes, detection definitions and case records.
  • Raw files are deleted when the engagement closes, unless you ask us to keep them for a follow-up Scan.
  • Results belong to you. If a provider runs part of your SOC, you decide what they see.
THE SCAN OPTIONS

Choose one option or combine them

Each option is a fixed-scope measurement of one kind of blind spot, run on the logs you already collect. Each stands on its own; options that share inputs combine with little extra effort, and you can add one later without repeating earlier work.

  • OPTION 1

    Telemetry Blind Spots

    What data sources are missing, or too thin to use?

    What we need from you

    • A 90-day summary of log sources and daily volumes
    • Your list of enabled detections
    • Retention settings by source

    What you walk away with

    • A source-by-source map: present, intermittent, missing or unread
    • The data you pay to store but never use
    • Recommended actions, ordered by effort
    Answers question 2

  • OPTION 2

    Detection Blind Spots

    What would your current detections miss?

    What we need from you

    • An export of your enabled detection rules and analytics
    • The data sources each detection reads

    What you walk away with

    • Your detection mix, broken down by kind of data
    • Where behavior-based coverage would add the most
    • Recommended actions, ordered by effort
    Answers question 1

  • OPTION 3

    Investigation and Trust Blind Spots

    Can findings be confirmed quickly, and could you prove why a verdict was right?

    What we need from you

    • A case or ticket export covering the sample period
    • Read access to the sampled case records

    What you walk away with

    • A count of closures a second analyst could verify
    • The missing records that stop you measuring trust latency
    • A minimum evidence standard for closures, ready to adopt or share with your provider

NOT SURE WHICH OPTION?

Start with five questions

Answer them below. If two or more come back "Not sure" or "No", a Scan is the place to start, and your answers point to the option that fits. Already know you need help? Talk to us directly.

1. WHICH DESCRIBES YOU?

2. FIVE QUESTIONS

  1. Do you know what your detections would miss?

    Your detection coverage depends on what your controls recognize. Relevant changes in behavior can still go unflagged or unexplained, such as an account doing something it has never done, one normal-looking step at a time.

  2. Do you know which data sources are missing, or too thin to analyze?

    Logs that aren't collected, aren't kept long enough or arrive without the right fields are blind spots, and nothing will alert on them.

  3. Does your outside SOC know what normal looks like for you?

    Escalations often arrive without the context to judge them. What your team knows about your environment lives in people's heads, and it leaves when they do.

  4. Do you know how long it takes to confirm an alert is real before you act?

    Every alert has to be checked before anyone acts. That delay, between a machine reaching a conclusion and a person confirming it is right, is trust latency. Thin context makes it longer.

  5. Could you show your board, auditor or insurer why a verdict was right?

    A conclusion without evidence attached can't be defended, audited or acted on with confidence.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Blind Spot Scan questions, answered

Do we need to install anything?

No. The Scan uses read-only exports, or a read-only query pack your team runs. Nothing in your environment changes.

How much of our team's time does it take?

A scoping call, the exports for the options you choose, and the readout session.

Can our MDR or MSSP take part?

Yes. Some clients involve their provider from the start. Others review the results first and then decide what to share.

Is this a penetration test, or a grade of our analysts?

Neither. The Scan looks at your data, detections and records. It does not attack your environment or judge whether individual verdicts were right.

What happens to our data?

We work from exports and summaries with read-only access. Raw files are deleted when the engagement closes unless you ask us to keep them for a follow-up Scan, and the results belong to you.

What does it cost?

It depends on the options you choose. Talk to us about scope and pricing.

WHAT COMES NEXT

After the scan

A scan shows where the gaps are. Two ways to go further: the 90-Day Evaluation Program runs KGAD and the Knowledge Grid Cognitive Data Platform on your own telemetry for 90 days before you decide, and the Contextual Data Readiness Assessment (CDRA) scores how ready your data is for AI across five core domains and an optional sixth.
