GravityLog — Understanding logs and their cybersecurity importance

Know what you're logging. Know why it matters.

GravityLog turns Windows event data into sourced, actionable guidance — mapped to NIST 800-53 and MITRE ATT&CK, with live tools to test your actual config.

Logging costs money. Skipping the wrong event costs more. GravityLog exists to make that tradeoff on purpose, not by accident.

Key Features

What GravityLog does

99 Windows events, sourced
Security, Sysmon, System, Application, and PowerShell — every event with a monitoring call and why.
NIST 800-53 mapping
34 controls tied to exact event codes, plus an Evidence Builder for audit prep.
MITRE ATT&CK coverage
30 techniques mapped, with gaps named honestly instead of glossed over.
MITRE ATLAS coverage
The AI/ML threat framework — 6 techniques where Windows logging genuinely helps, honest about the rest.
CIS Controls coverage
Controls 5 & 8 mapped to real event evidence — only 6 of 18 safeguards are actually log-provable, named honestly.
PCI DSS Requirement 10 coverage
All 7 event-logging sub-requirements of 10.2.1 mapped to real event evidence — the tightest hit rate of any framework on this site.
DISA STIG coverage
Windows Server 2022 STIG V2R4 audit-policy rules mapped to event evidence, cross-referenced to NIST 800-53 through each rule's own CCI.
Live policy scanner
Upload real audit policy, Sysmon, and PowerShell configs — see what's actually covered.
Gap analyzer with one-click fixes
Pick a technique, see exactly what's missing, fix it instantly.
Dependency graph
Policy → event → framework coverage, visualized as one connected map.
SIEM cost optimizer
Keep / Filter / Sample / Drop guidance, tuned to Splunk, Sentinel, and others.
Runs entirely in your browser
Nothing uploaded, no server. Dark or light mode.
Under-logging

Blind spots you don't find until an incident needs them.

Over-logging

Noise that drowns signal and burns budget.
