EventGuard Windows log management dashboard showing search interface and event data

What is EventGuard? EventGuard is an intuitive and affordable Windows event log management tool that delivers exactly what enterprises look for: predictable pricing and fast search performance. The dashboard makes event data easily searchable through a secure webpage that features a single pane of glass, user friendly interface requiring no training. Our log collection agent has a very low memory footprint as it applies a multi tier filter logic to reduce event noise, so database storage needs will be much lower than those of our competitors. Security at every layer and retention is NIST compliant at 13 months by default. You can be up and running in just one hour.

Enterprise Requirements — How EventGuard Answers

📥

Centralized Log Collection and Aggregation

Requirement: Collect logs from all servers, applications, network devices, and cloud services in one place with lightweight agents that do not impact production performance.

✅ EventGuard solution: A lightweight Windows agent using just 11MB of RAM collects Event Logs, custom application logs, and security logs. The central collector aggregates everything into a single searchable dashboard with no complex configurations and no Python dependencies. View collection details →

📀

Long Term Retention and Storage

Requirement: Retain logs for 1 to 7 plus years to meet compliance standards such as SOC2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOX without paying exorbitant storage fees.

✅ EventGuard solution: EventGuard retains logs for 13 months by default to meet NIST 800-92 compliance. For longer retention periods beyond 13 months, the database can be backed up manually to preserve logs for extended compliance needs such as HIPAA (6 years) or SOX (7 years). This gives you flexibility without forcing you to pay for storage you may not need. Learn about retention options →

Security Monitoring and Visibility

Requirement: Real time visibility into security events, anomalies, and policy violations with the ability to monitor and investigate suspicious activity.

✅ EventGuard solution: Live tailing monitoring for SOC teams with customizable filters. The dashboard refreshes every 60 seconds, giving you near real time visibility into your Windows event logs. Set up filtered views to monitor specific security events, failed logins, or configuration changes as they happen. See live tailing in action →

🔔

Alerting and Intrusion Detection

Requirement: Automated alerting on security events and intrusion detection capabilities to identify threats in real time.

ℹ️ EventGuard approach: EventGuard focuses on log management and security monitoring rather than automated alerting or intrusion detection. Instead of noisy alerts that can lead to false positive fatigue, EventGuard provides live tailing monitoring for SOC teams with powerful filters and a 60 second refresh of event logs. Analysts can watch security events as they happen, apply filters to focus on what matters, and investigate incidents immediately. Learn about monitoring approach →

Security and Compliance Features

Requirement: Tamper proof audit trails, encryption in transit and at rest, Active Directory integration for secure access, and pre built compliance reports.

✅ EventGuard solution: Cryptographic sealing using hash chaining to prevent log tampering, HTTPS and TLS 1.3 encryption, DPAPI plus AES-256 at rest, and Active Directory integration for secure authentication. Pre built compliance reports are available as CSV exports for SOC2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST 800-92. Review security documentation →

📊

Customizable Dashboards and Visualization

Requirement: Drill down from graphs to raw logs, customizable dashboards for different teams including Security, IT Ops, and Compliance, with no complex query languages required.

✅ EventGuard solution: Fully customizable dashboards that let you visualize log trends, security events, and system health. Click any chart to drill directly into the underlying logs. Create separate dashboards for Security, IT Operations, and Compliance teams all without writing a single line of code. Explore dashboard examples →

Scalability and Performance

Requirement: Handling hundreds of terabytes or petabytes of log data with linear performance scaling and no degradation during peak ingestion periods.

✅ EventGuard solution: Scales with your business. Add as many agents as you need because there is no per agent fee. The indexed database architecture ensures consistent query performance even as log volume grows. Whether you ingest 100 GB per day or 10 TB per day, EventGuard handles it. And because it is on premises, you control the hardware. Read about unlimited scaling →
