Problem

See the movement. Keep the evidence.

Security operators and auditors need the same current answer: who moved what, from which host or workload, where did it go, and what job was responsible? Hilt records identity-resolved movement as searchable operational telemetry and audit-ready evidence.

See the movement. Keep the evidence.

Security operators need a current answer to the same question auditors ask later: who moved what, from which host or workload, where did it go, and what job was responsible? Dashboards and hand-drawn diagrams describe the estate. Hilt records what happened across it.

One movement record, two uses

Operational observabilityCompliance evidence
Search paths, identities, processes, destinations, timing, and volume as movement happensProduce a current, identity-resolved record for auditors, examiners, and sponsor banks
Investigate a host, user, workload, or data path without rebuilding the story from logsShow how regulated data actually moved instead of relying on a stale diagram

How Hilt keeps it current

One lightweight collector watches data movement at the kernel, off the path and single-tenant in your own cloud. Collection can remain metadata-only or use content inspection where you enable it. Hilt resolves each movement to the strongest identity and job context the source supports, then preserves the path as searchable operational telemetry and audit-ready evidence.

FAQ

Common questions about this page

Is this only for auditors?

No. The same movement record helps operators investigate a user, host, workload, path, process, or destination while an event is active. Compliance teams use that current record later as evidence instead of recreating it from logs and diagrams.

Does Hilt read our regulated data to build the record?

Not by default. Metadata-only collection records identity, path, process, timing, volume, and destination without reading the payload. Content inspection is an optional collection mode you enable where needed.

Can it map data that never touches a host or workload we run?

Hilt watches data movement at the kernel on the hosts and workloads where the collector runs, single-tenant in your own cloud, plus user endpoints. Attribution is probabilistic and source-dependent, so the record reflects movement across the estate you instrument. It does not claim to see flows on infrastructure you do not run, and it will not pretend otherwise in front of an examiner.

What regulations and reviews does this speak to?

The movement record supports evidence gathering for reviews such as NYDFS Part 500, PCI DSS, the FTC Safeguards Rule, HIPAA, and sponsor-bank diligence. Hilt supplies the underlying runtime evidence; it does not replace your GRC workflow or legal interpretation.

How long until we have a record we could hand to an auditor?

The collector deploys in minutes, one per host or workload, around 0.1% of one core on average. The record begins generating from real movement as soon as the collector is watching, and it stays current as the estate changes rather than aging the way an annual diagram does.
