Five ways to engage KEOS
Commercial, SLED or Federal
A defined scope, agreed up front
Ideal when you already know what you want built. Every task is captured in a Statement of Work, and the whole list gets done.
Typically weeks to a few months.
Engineers inside your team
Ideal when you need more hands to run the environment. Each augmented engineer takes a broad remit that can shift week to week — useful when internal resources are short, or not yet ready to own the stack outright.
Typically months to years.
Build consensus before you build anything
Ideal when the technical decision needs agreement across teams. A subject matter expert facilitates until there is a real consensus, then writes it up so an implementation team knows exactly what to build, in what time, on what budget.
- A security workshop prioritizing detections for maximum coverage
- An IT workshop on how best to get data into Splunk
- An architecture workshop balancing requirements against internal constraints
A week or two, usually followed by a project engagement.
For when you don't know what you don't know
A health check report surfaces the underlying issues in an environment and, more usefully, what is causing them.
Typically one to two weeks.
An expert on call, like a doctor
Ideal when you need someone available rather than scheduled. The expert does not hand out advice from a distance — they put hands on the keyboard, or shoulder-surf, and fix it.
A bucket of hours drawn down across the year as needed.
Direct, or through your partner.
You can contract with KEOS directly, or bring us in through your existing Cisco or Splunk sales partner. Both are normal.
If you are the partner rather than the customer, the Partners page covers white-label and subcontract arrangements.
Not sure which shape fits?
Describe the problem and we will tell you which of the five it is — including when the answer is a two-week health check rather than a project.
