Does our data leave our environment?
No. Every deployment runs inside your cloud tenant. Model calls route through a gateway you control, with logging you own. Where policy requires it, we deploy against your private model endpoints (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex) or self-hosted models — nothing transits Blacklattice infrastructure, and nothing is retained for training.
Is this replacing our analysts?
No — it's removing the work that burns them out. The AI layer handles enrichment, correlation, and the false-positive flood; your analysts make the judgment calls, now with full context attached. Every destructive action sits behind a human approval gate. Teams we work with redeploy analysts to threat hunting, not the job market.
We already bought an "AI SOC" platform. Why do we need you?
Platforms give you capability; they don't give you integration, tuning, or workflows built around your environment. Most stalled pilots we inherit failed on engineering, not features. We're vendor-neutral — often the right answer is making the platform you already own actually work.
How do you validate that the AI is actually accurate?
Before go-live, we replay 90 days of your historical incidents through the new pipeline and measure precision and recall against what your team actually ruled. You see the confusion matrix before anything touches production. Post-launch, the same measurement runs continuously and lands in your monthly scorecard.
Can you pass our procurement and security review?
Yes — it's usually fast, because there's little to review: no data processing on our side, no persistent access requirements, and we work under your IAM with scoped, time-boxed credentials. We provide our security documentation pack (insurance, background checks, secure-development practices) at first contact.
What does the first call look like?
Forty-five minutes with an architect — not a salesperson. Bring your alert volumes, stack list, and the workflow that hurts most. You leave with an honest read on whether AI helps your case and a rough shape of what we'd build. If the answer is "you don't need us," we say so.
