Afigima · Expert-run Cortex XSIAM delivery

See exactly where your XSIAM stands. Free. In plain language.

Much of what teams pay a premium to enable is standard capability already in the product. We show you what you already own, with evidence behind every finding, free. From there, our expert bench and the Clarify Agentic Workbench help you close the gaps, a continuous program, not a one-time report.

Our promise

If the integration exists in XSIAM, we will help you turn it on.

Partnering to get up and running is priced to start small. Never per-integration charges. You pay real money only for the custom work you came for.

Start with a free health check assessment. No cost, no commitment. From there you can partner with us to get up and running, add continuous health checks, and hire us for the custom work that delivers your outcomes.

How we work together

One continuous program. Honest scope at every step.

Most teams are stuck in data ingestion, and the standard work to get unstuck should not cost a premium. So we keep it honest: a free health check, a small first step to get up and running, continuous health checks to stay on track, and the custom work where the real outcomes happen.

Step 1Free

Free assessment

We measure where your XSIAM stands today, in plain language, with evidence behind every finding. Much of what teams pay a premium to enable is standard capability already in the product. We show you what you already own, free.

  • Your real posture today, evidence-backed
  • Surfaces capability already in your product
  • No cost, the way it should be
Step 2Paid, built to start small

Partner to get up and running

You show up, we show up. We get your team going, switch on what is already in the product, and show you what is real and what is not about what it can actually do. Priced to start together and grow from there, with continuous health checks as the spine.

  • You show up, we show up, together
  • We enable what you already own
  • We show you what is real, not hype
Step 3Paid, ongoing

Continuous health checks

The steady cadence that keeps you moving. They answer one question on a regular basis: are you moving forward, backward, or stalling out? Benchmarked against how Palo Alto Networks runs its own SOC, they surface the next work to do.

  • Forward, backward, or stalling, measured
  • Benchmarked against how Palo runs its own SOC
  • Surfaces new work before it becomes urgent
Step 4Paid

Custom work

The real work you came for. Custom parsers and data models, custom detections, correlation and tuning, POV shadows, and expert staff augmentation placed with the Clarify Agentic Workbench as their spine. This is what we love, and where the workbench earns its keep.

  • Custom parsers, detections, and tuning
  • POV shadows and expert staff augmentation
  • Workbench as the spine of every placement

The health check is free. Getting up and running, continuous health checks, and custom work are paid. Always kept separate, never mixed.

The continuous journey

From where you are to where you want to be.

Continuous health checks are the spine. They track your posture over time and answer one question on a steady cadence: are you moving forward, backward, or stalling out?

01Where you are

Free assessment

We measure your real XSIAM posture today, with evidence behind every finding.

02The benchmark

How Palo runs its own SOC

We compare where you are against how Palo Alto Networks runs its own SOC, so the target is real.

03Where you want to be

Your target, reached together

Continuous checks track your progress while our experts and the Clarify Agentic Workbench close the gap, quarter over quarter.

Illustrative. Continuous checks track your posture toward the benchmark over time. Not a promise of specific results.

The workbench

Experts run the work. Clarify amplifies it.

Our expert bench delivers your Cortex XSIAM work, and the Clarify Agentic Workbench amplifies that expertise so the work is deep, consistent, and backed by evidence on every engagement.

The workbench, working for you

The Clarify Agentic Workbench is the engine no vendor will ever hand you. Our experts use it to deliver, and it becomes your leverage to break out of the change order queue and get outcomes, not tickets.

  • Your leverage, not a ticket queue
  • The engine no vendor hands you
  • Outcomes, not change orders

Grounded in your live tenant

Every status and recommendation comes from your real Cortex XSIAM environment, never a spreadsheet or a slide. What you see is what is actually true in your tenant.

  • Grounded in your environment
  • Real status, not a deck
  • True to your tenant

Experts and intelligence, together

Our expert bench and the Clarify Agentic Workbench work side by side, drawing on your environment, the vendor knowledge base, prior outcomes, and your stated goals, so every move is informed by people and evidence, not generic advice.

  • Expert bench in the loop
  • Knowledge base and prior outcomes
  • Tied to your goals

The full XSIAM lifecycle

Assessment to getting up and running to continuous health checks to custom work, all on one spine. Each phase runs on a real plan with the evidence behind every step, so nothing stalls in tribal knowledge.

  • Assessment, getting set up, health checks
  • One plan, one spine
  • Evidence behind every step

Outcome-driven delivery

We start from the results you want and track against them: success criteria, coverage, maturity, time-to-value. Progress is measured by your outcomes, not hours billed.

  • Starts from your goals
  • Coverage, maturity, time-to-value
  • Measured by outcomes

Transparent by design

You see real progress and the proof behind every recommendation, scoped to your own engagement. We do the work right and show the work.

  • Real progress, in the open
  • Proof behind every move
  • Scoped to your engagement

Real-world scenario

What this handles, in practice.

Across the real domains of an XSIAM environment, here is what tends to go wrong, and which part of the program handles it. (Illustrative scenario.)

Tenant and licensing
License utilization and tenant configuration reviewed
What tends to go wrongPaid capacity sits unused while basic configuration drifts unnoticed
How we handle itThe free assessment surfaces what you already own and have not turned on, in plain language
Data source coverage
Critical sources ingested and parsing validated
What tends to go wrongSources stall in ingestion and parsing quality is never confirmed
How we handle itGetting up and running turns on the supported sources and tunes parsing and volume, priced to start small
Detection and tuning
Detection rules reviewed and tuned on a cadence
What tends to go wrongStale rules generate noise and real signal is lost in the volume
How we handle itContinuous health checks flag drift and surface the tuning work before it becomes urgent
Custom data models
Bespoke parsers and models fit your environment
What tends to go wrongOff-the-shelf parsing cannot represent your unique log sources
How we handle itCustom work builds the parsers, data models, and correlation that are genuinely unique to you
Posture over time
Forward, backward, or stalling, measured each quarter
What tends to go wrongPosture is reported in a one-time deck and quietly decays after
How we handle itThe continuous spine benchmarks you against how Palo runs its own SOC, quarter over quarter
Your team
Knowledge stays with your people, not a vendor's head
What tends to go wrongExpertise and context walk out the door when an engagement ends
How we handle itTraining and a second pair of eyes come with getting up and running, so your team is left stronger

The bench

An expert bench, unified by the workbench.

We run a bench of experienced security practitioners, some of them former Palo Alto Networks employees, all working from the same place. The Clarify Agentic Workbench is what every one of us uses and feeds, so the depth and quality stay consistent on every engagement.

One workbench, every engagement

Instead of relying on whoever happens to be assigned and what they remember, our practitioners work in the Clarify Agentic Workbench. It carries the knowledge base, the best practices, and the lessons learned across engagements, so the quality is the same no matter who is on the work.

Trained with discipline

Clarify is informed only by the vendor knowledge base, established best practices, and the lessons learned from our practitioners. No guesswork, no generic frameworks bolted on. That is how we stay ahead and deliver what customers actually need.

Independent service provider. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Palo Alto Networks. Any reference to former Palo Alto Networks employment describes prior work history only. The Clarify Agentic Workbench runs in a private instance, so your engagement and your data stay isolated to you.

As a Hispanic woman in cybersecurity, she knows how steep the climb can be, and how much it matters when someone opens a door. Clarify is her answer: a service business that delivers for clients with expert practitioners and AI, and pours the proceeds and the mentorship back into the next generation.

Our belief is old-fashioned and deliberate: bring back the days when hard work, doing right by people, and a little grace shaped this industry forward.
