Senior Wazuh consulting for security teams that need their SIEM to actually work. Deployments, troubleshooting, custom rule engineering, and compliance — without the agency overhead.
From initial architecture decisions through 24/7 operational support, every engagement is hands-on and outcome-driven. No hand-offs, no junior engineers learning on your environment.
Greenfield Wazuh installs done right the first time — sized for your log volume, hardened by default, and built to scale.
When agents drop, queues overflow, or rules misfire — diagnostic-led root cause analysis and a clear remediation plan, fast.
Bend Wazuh around your stack — proprietary log formats, ticketing, threat intel, and active response logic written to spec.
Audit-ready Wazuh configurations mapped to the framework you actually need to pass — not a generic checklist.
Build your team's Wazuh muscle, or hand the wheel over entirely. Hands-on workshops for engineers and analysts, plus ongoing managed-detection retainers with monthly health checks and tuning reviews.
Predictable, low-friction, and respectful of your team's time. Most engagements move from intro call to value delivered inside two weeks.
30-minute working session. Map the environment, surface the real pain, decide if we're a fit.
A short written proposal — outcomes, deliverables, fixed fee or rate, and a timeline. Mutual NDA on request.
Hands-on engineering with daily/weekly check-ins. All work documented in your repo of choice.
Knowledge transfer, runbooks, and a 30-day support window. Optional retainer for ongoing operations.
Every engagement is scoped to deliverables, not hours. Fixed-fee where it makes sense, retainer where it doesn't.
A senior pair of eyes on your existing Wazuh stack. Prioritised findings inside one week.
Greenfield Wazuh, properly architected. From design to first 100 agents in production.
Ongoing senior support. Monthly reserved hours for tuning, integrations, and on-call.
Wazuh stack on fire? Same-day senior engineering when something is actively broken in prod.
Real teams, real problems, real outcomes. No staged demos, no generic praise.
Our Wazuh indexer had been in a yellow cluster state for three months. Two hours with Chronikos and it was green — JVM heap misconfiguration and a shard allocation issue our whole team had missed. The depth of knowledge is genuinely rare.
Six weeks to PCI-DSS audit with Wazuh rule coverage that was a mess. Chronikos rebuilt the compliance config from scratch, ran an auditor walkthrough with us, and we passed first time. Calm under pressure, exactly what you need with a hard deadline.
I've hired two Wazuh 'specialists' before — both learned on my prod environment. Chronikos is the first who came in already knowing what to do. Custom decoders for our EMR system that nobody else could write. Worth every dollar.
How senior Wazuh consulting stacks up against the alternatives buyers usually consider.
| Criteria | Chronikos | Junior hire / in-house | Large agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wazuh depth | 5+ years specialist, production-only | Generalist learning on your environment | Varies — often one-tier-removed expert |
| Time to start | This week (3–5 business days) | 2–6 months hiring cycle | 4–8 weeks onboarding + SOW negotiation |
| Pricing model | Fixed-fee scoped upfront, no surprises | Salary + benefits + overhead (~$120k+/yr) | T&M with agency markup (1.5–2.5×) |
| Who does the work | One senior engineer — me, every time | Whoever you hired | Account manager → junior analyst |
| Response time | < 24h; same-day for emergencies | Business hours, meetings-heavy | Ticketing queue, SLA hours vary |
| Knowledge transfer | Runbooks + handoff session included | Leaves with the knowledge when they resign | Rarely — dependency is the business model |
| Accountability | Named deliverables, fixed contract | Performance reviews, internal politics | Account manager owns the relationship |
