Overview
Threat detection finds attackers who get past preventive controls. We build detection capabilities: collecting the right log sources, writing and tuning detection rules mapped to attacker techniques, configuring SIEM and cloud-native detection services, designing triage workflows and incident response playbooks, and running exercises to test them.
Common use cases
- SIEM implementationCentralised detection and investigation.
- Detection engineeringCustom rules for your environment.
- Cloud threat detectionNative detection services tuned.
- Incident response readinessPlaybooks and exercises.
Quick answers
Threat Detection & Response at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is threat detection & response?
- Threat detection engineering — log sources, detection rules, SIEM, alert triage and incident response playbooks.
- Who is it for?
- Typically companies migrating to the cloud, teams whose releases are slow or risky, and organisations that need stronger reliability, security or cost control.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Log strategy
- Detection rules
- SIEM configuration
- Alert triage
- Response playbooks
- Exercises
- Which technologies are used?
- OWASP, HashiCorp Vault, Keycloak, OAuth 2.0 & OIDC, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Assess → Prioritise → Implement → Test → Monitor.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of applications and environments
- Compliance and data-residency requirements
- Availability and recovery objectives
- Existing automation and IaC maturity
- Multi-cloud or hybrid scope
- Ongoing managed-service needs
- How long does it take?
- Assessments take 2–4 weeks; platform builds and migrations are usually delivered in 2–6 month phases.
- How do I get started?

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for cybersecurity, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Shift leftSecurity checks in pipelines catch issues before production.
- Identity is the perimeterStrong identity and least privilege over network trust.
- Framework-alignedControls mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS where relevant; certification by accredited auditors.
- Practised responseIncident runbooks rehearsed, not just written.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Assess
Threat model, current controls and gaps against relevant frameworks.
- 2
Prioritise
Risk-ranked roadmap focused on the highest-impact controls first.
- 3
Implement
Controls built into infrastructure, pipelines and applications.
- 4
Test
Penetration tests, configuration reviews and attack simulations.
- 5
Monitor
Continuous detection, alerting and incident response procedures.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Infrastructure as code
Every change reviewed, versioned and reproducible.
Identity & network
Least-privilege IAM, private networking and zero-trust access.
Secrets & encryption
Central secrets management and encryption by default.
Monitoring
Alerting, audit logs and incident runbooks from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need a 24/7 SOC?
It depends on risk and size. Many organisations combine internal teams with managed detection services.
How do you reduce false positives?
By tuning rules to your environment, adding context and continuously reviewing alert quality.
Is Shivacha a certified security firm?
Shivacha does not currently claim security certifications. We implement technical controls and security engineering; where certification or attestation is required, it is performed by accredited third parties.
Do you offer penetration testing?
Yes, as part of security engineering engagements — scoped application, API and cloud testing with remediation guidance and re-testing.
