Case Study: SIEM solution for a leading technology services provider
We assisted a large provider of Security Operations Centre (SOC) services for a large government client base - migrating from an outdated on-premise security platform to an optimised solution utilising Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security. Through a series of increasingly detailed workshops, we developed their air-gapped SIEM architecture, ensuring geographically diverse data replication and secure data ingest. The customer now benefits from a best-in-class SIEM solution that meets stringent government compliance requirements.
Case Study: SIEM solution for a global financial institution
This multinational financial organisation sought to enhance its threat detection and event management by transitioning to Splunk Enterprise Security. We collaborated closely with their Information Security team to design and implement a new platform that aligned with their existing security resources partner organisation knowledge. This ensured a seamless onboarding and infrastructure build. The result is a powerful platform that supports their strategic goals with improved integration, data management, and security operations efficiency.
Financial Control Monitoring
Since our inception in 2011, GKC has a history of partnering with the finance industry to deliver tailored solutions. These range from out-of-the-box systems to fully bespoke financial monitoring platforms. Our expertise includes incorporating financial controls, auditing, and exception case management into robust and easily useable solutions.
Utilising the powerful search, analysis, and visualisation capabilities of Splunk Enterprise, we design solutions specifically for all types of business environments.
Recognising that technical teams may not always grasp financial intricacies, we collaborate closely with finance departments to develop custom rules, workflows, and anomaly detection tailored to each organisation’s operations. Our consulting experts ensure that our solutions provide comprehensive and precise outcomes. Splunk Enterprise is particularly effective in detecting anomalies and can audit financial transactions as frequently as required.
Case Study: Financial monitoring for a leading insurer
A major insurer, processing high volumes of daily payments, faced significant risks of errors and fraud due to the complexity of multi-modal transactions. Manual auditing was impractical, and the sensitive nature of the data demanded strict access controls.
We designed and implemented a bespoke on-premise Splunk Enterprise solution to perform continuous monitoring, error detection, fraud identification, and unusual pattern detection. This solution included case generation and management modules, comprehensive reporting, significantly mitigating financial risk.
While this solution is heavily customised for this client’s needs, the platform is adaptable for any organisation aiming to enhance financial risk management.

Case Study: Observability practice uplift for a Government agency
GKC was engaged by a large Government agency to act as the Observability lead, to deliver advice on Monitoring and Alerting technologies, document and agree a roll out plan, and design and facilitate the uplift of monitoring within the organisation.
This involved GKC collecting information about the agency’s key technical requirements and rating these against the relevant monitoring products on offer. GKC took these ratings and compared them with vendor capability and our ability to deliver the product. We then gave the agency our final recommendation, which was Dynatrace.
Alongside fulfilling the technical requirements, Dynatrace was the right fit for this agency as Dynatrace is approved for government use and available for purchase via the DIA Marketplace.
GKC worked alongside the agency to successfully implement Dynatrace and engaged with project teams to build monitoring solutions and offer general guidance and support whilst they were adapting to using this new tool.
GKC offers comprehensive cloud migration solutions for organisations across all industries. We provide strategic advisory services to develop tailored cloud migration plans, ensuring seamless transitions with minimal disruption.
Our technical services include the design, implementation, and optimisation of cloud environments, leveraging leading technologies to enhance performance and security. Post-migration, GKC's support services ensure ongoing operational success, scalability, and compliance, making cloud adoption smooth and efficient for any organisation.
Case Study: Cloud migration for a major transport provider
GKC partnered with a leading transport provider to migrate from Splunk on-premise to Splunk Cloud, addressing their need for digital dexterity and resilience. This complex migration involved upgrading systems, building new AWS infrastructure, and consulting with multiple App teams.
By leveraging PrivateLink and guiding the transition from legacy tools, GKC streamlined the client's observability platform. They are now on the way to building an industry-leading observability practice that supports their long-term digital goals. The move to cloud has also opened other opportunities to better visualise and understand their business operations and application performance, including the ability to harness the insights provided by Splunk Observability Cloud.
