Example build · Alerts and reporting
The right alert to the right person, and the recurring reports ready on time.
Two jobs keep a security team busy without moving the program forward: telling the right person when something needs them, and producing the same reports again and again. We built automations for both. People still act on the alerts and sign off on the reports.
An alert and a report
Example- Alert
- A critical vendor reported an incident
- Sent to
- The vendor owner and the security lead
- Alert
- Evidence for an audit control is about to expire
- Sent to
- The person who owns that control
- Report
- Monthly leadership summary, drafted from current records
The situation
Alerts went to everyone or no one, and the same reports were rebuilt by hand.
When something changes, the person who needs to act is often not the person who sees it first. Alerts sent to a shared channel get ignored, and alerts that never get sent mean a problem sits until someone happens to look.
Reporting has the same shape. Leadership asks for a regular summary and auditors ask for the same evidence each cycle, so the team spends time reassembling familiar documents from the same sources.
We built automations for both, working with your existing tools. They are scoped as their own project, apart from the managed program.
What we built
What we built, in order.
Your tools and records stay the source of truth. The automations read from them and send messages and drafts, and they do not replace them.
Watch · Rules in code
Watch the events that matter in your existing tools and records.
Route · Rules in code
Decide who needs to know, from a written list of who owns what.
Alert · AI step
Send a short message: what happened, why it matters, what to do next.
Report · AI step
On a schedule, assemble the recurring report from current records.
Act · Person
Owners act on alerts. The security lead reviews reports before they go out.
What changed
The right people hear about changes, and the recurring reports are ready when asked.
Alerts reach the person who owns the problem, and the regular reports arrive drafted instead of rebuilt. We have no before-and-after figures to publish.
- Control and vendor owners
- Hear about the things that are theirs, with what to do next, and not about everything else.
- Security lead
- Reviews drafted reports instead of assembling them, and spends the time on what the report shows.
- Leadership and auditors
- Receive the same report in the same shape each period.
- Vectra View
- Builds it as a scoped project. Later changes to alerts, owners or reports are scoped with you.
