Audit Deadline Approaching
SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS audits in 12-16 weeks. Traditional SIEM deployments take 6-9 months. You don’t have that time. Every week of delay is a week closer to an audit you can’t pass.
See our 12-week methodologySOC2-Compliant SIEM in 12 Weeks. Not 6 Months.
SquareShift deploys Elasticsearch SIEM with compliance-ready architecture, AI-assisted threat detection, and 90% false positive reduction — in half the time of traditional vendors. 15+ audit-ready implementations. SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS expertise.

Audit Deadlines Don’t Negotiate. Your SIEM Shouldn’t Either.
Traditional SIEM deployments take 6-9 months, cost $500K+, and leave compliance gaps. Compliance-driven security teams need a faster, proven path.
SIEM Implementation Complexity
Traditional vendors require 8+ months, extensive internal resources, and carry high risk of project overruns. You’ve seen it before: ambitious timelines that slip into 12-month engagements with no audit-ready deliverables at the end.
See compliance-ready architectureFalse Positive Fatigue
Your security team is drowning in 10,000+ daily alerts. 95% are false positives. Analysts burn out. Real threats get buried. Manual triage is not a strategy — it’s a liability.
See AI Triage AssistantCompliance Uncertainty
You can’t tell auditors with confidence that your SIEM meets SOC2 requirements. Missing log retention policies. Inadequate access controls. Incomplete audit trails. Manual compliance reporting takes 40+ hours per audit.

“We had 16 weeks until our SOC2 audit and no centralized SIEM. SquareShift deployed Elasticsearch SIEM in 12 weeks, migrated 2TB from Splunk with zero downtime, and got us audit-ready with 4 weeks to spare. Our compliance reporting went from 40 hours to 3 hours per audit.”— VP Engineering, Payments Platform

Your SIEM Questions, Answered with Evidence
Every question below comes from real conversations with CISOs and compliance officers. Every answer includes proof.
We’ve completed 15+ SIEM deployments using a proven 3-phase methodology: Weeks 1-4 Assessment & Architecture, Weeks 5-8 Implementation with pre-built accelerators, Weeks 9-12 Audit Prep & Validation. Traditional vendors build custom solutions from scratch every time. We deploy three proven accelerators (Compliance Reporter, Threat Correlation Engine, AI Triage Assistant) that reduce development time by 50%. 12 weeks is our proven average across 15+ deployments, not a best-case estimate. If your environment has unusual complexity, we identify it in the Starter Assessment (Weeks 1-2) and adjust the timeline upfront — before you commit.
15+ case studies with documented timelinesYes. Our 12-week methodology delivers audit-ready compliance packages with pre-built templates for SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. We’ve passed 15+ audits with zero compliance findings related to SIEM architecture. Deliverables include log retention policies, access control matrices, audit trail proofs, and compliance dashboards — all mapped to the specific compliance requirements your auditor expects. Your auditor receives full documentation, not a summary. Our SOC2 SIEM Compliance Checklist (free download) shows exactly what your audit-ready package includes.
Download SOC2 SIEM Compliance ChecklistZero-downtime deployment is standard across every SIEM implementation we deliver. We use parallel deployment: new Elasticsearch SIEM runs alongside your existing security tools until validation is complete. Only after your security team signs off do we cutover. We’ve maintained 99.99%+ uptime across 15+ SIEM deployments, including a 2.4TB migration from Splunk with zero data loss. Your threat visibility is never interrupted.
Zero-downtime migration case studyProfessional Implementation (full 12-week SIEM deployment) typically costs $150-300K, including Elasticsearch licenses, 3 accelerators, and 90-day post-deployment support. That’s 40-90% less than Splunk SIEM deployments ($500K-1M+ typical) when you factor in licensing, services, and ongoing costs. Elasticsearch licensing costs a fraction of Splunk’s per-GB pricing model. Use our TCO Calculator at /tools/tco-calculator for a cost comparison based on your specific data volume.
TCO CalculatorAll Professional Implementation projects include 90-day post-deployment support with email + Slack access and 24-hour response SLA. Enterprise Managed SIEM tier includes 24/7 SOC support, quarterly compliance reporting, and continuous threat monitoring with a dedicated security architect. We also offer a-la-carte support contracts starting at $5K/month. Every tier includes our 24-hour response SLA, documented at /sla. You won’t be left alone after go-live.
SLA commitment documentationYes. We specialize in zero-downtime migrations from Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight, and other legacy SIEMs to Elasticsearch. We’ve migrated 2.4TB+ of security data with zero data loss. Migration includes historical log transfer, correlation rule translation, dashboard recreation, and security team training. Audit history is fully preserved — your auditors see continuous compliance documentation, not a gap where the migration happened. The Starter Assessment includes migration complexity analysis and a realistic timeline estimate.
