Achieve Compliance Without SIEM Fees

Meet Regulatory Requirements While Controlling Your Costs

Unlock Compliance. Cut the Costs.

Snare empowers security teams to meet strict compliance obligations — without incurring SIEM storage or ingestion fees. Our lightweight, scalable logging solution ensures you maintain visibility, auditability, and control across your environment while dramatically lowering total cost of ownership.

Whether you’re governed by PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, or any other standard, Snare helps you collect, retain, and report on logs across hybrid and cloud environments — independently of your SIEM.

The Challenge: SIEM Costs Are Blocking Compliance

Most organizations are forced to choose between full visibility and affordable SIEM usage. The high cost of ingesting, storing, and retaining logs in SIEM platforms often leads to reduced data retention windows, limited visibility, or non-compliance.

Snare breaks this dependency.

Use Case Snapshot: PCI DSS Without SIEM Bloat

Challenge

A large national retailer operating across hundreds of locations was under pressure to maintain PCI DSS compliance. With thousands of endpoints and multiple retail systems generating logs, their SIEM was overwhelmed — both in capacity and cost. The ingestion and storage costs of retaining logs for 12+ months were skyrocketing, and their security team had to constantly filter out data to stay within budget, compromising visibility and forensic readiness.

Solution

The retailer deployed Snare Agents across their POS systems, servers, and domain controllers to ensure comprehensive log coverage. Instead of streaming all log data into their SIEM, they used Snare Reflector to filter and route essential logs directly into Snare Central — a centralized, searchable, and cost-effective storage layer outside their SIEM.

To maintain compliance, the team used Snare’s built-in PCI DSS reporting templates and alerting capabilities. When a security incident occurred, Snare’s Replay feature allowed them to selectively forward logs from relevant endpoints into their SIEM for deeper analysis — only when necessary.

Outcomes:

Reduced SIEM ingestion costs by over 80%, saving hundreds of thousands annually
Maintained 12+ months of log retention for PCI DSS compliance, without risk of penalty
Accelerated audit reporting and investigation workflows using Snare’s built-in compliance reports
Improved security posture with consistent, forensic-level visibility across all retail systems

Impact:

Snare enabled the retailer to achieve full compliance and audit readiness while breaking free from unsustainable SIEM pricing. Their security team regained control, their auditors gained confidence, and their finance department gained breathing room.

Snare = Compliance Without Compromise

Frequently Asked Questions

PCI DSS
HIPAA / HITECH
GDPR

…and more. Customisable reports and filters make aligning with multiple standards easy.

How does Snare reduce SIEM costs?

Snare acts as a smart log collection and routing layer. It filters and forwards only relevant data to your SIEM, stores compliance logs separately, and enables long-term retention without costly ingestion or indexing. Customers typically see up to 90% savings on SIEM storage and processing.

Can I use Snare alongside my existing SIEM?

Absolutely. Snare is SIEM-agnostic and integrates with all leading platforms including Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel, Securonix, LogRhythm, and others. You choose what data goes to your SIEM, and what stays within the Snare platform for compliance or audit purposes.

How does Snare help during audits or investigations?

Snare’s pre-built compliance reports, granular filtering, and Replay functionality allow you to quickly locate, export, and forward relevant logs to your SIEM or auditors — without sending everything upfront. This ensures faster investigations and easier audit readiness.

Is the data stored by Snare secure and compliant?

Yes. Snare Central uses encrypted, tamper-evident storage designed for regulatory compliance. Access controls, audit trails, and integrity checks ensure your stored data meets the highest security standards.

Do I need to replace my SIEM to use Snare?

No. Snare works alongside your existing infrastructure to optimize, not replace, your SIEM. You gain cost-effective compliance and control over what data flows where — without losing the capabilities of your existing security stack.
