SAIINT: Secure AI-integrated notable triage

DotSec’s Managed SOC already provides mature detection, alerting and analysis across cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments. SAIINT enhances this capability by using targeted artificial intelligence to review analyst triage decisions, identify misclassified events, and improve the accuracy and reliability of your security monitoring.

Instead of relying solely on human triage, which can vary based on workload, analyst experience or alert volume, SAIINT provides a systematic, consistent and independent layer of quality assurance. The result is faster detection of genuine threats, fewer false negatives, and stronger confidence in the security outcomes we deliver.

What is SAIINT?

SAIINT (Secure AI-Integrated Notable Triage) is DotSec’s AI-driven quality-review engine that operates behind the scenes within our Managed SOC platform.

It reviews the decisions our analysts make when classifying security alerts, checks whether the reasoning aligns with your organisation’s policies and best practice, and highlights any alerts that may require further investigation.

At a high level, SAIINT assists our Managed SOC/SIEM engineers by:

Reviewing analyst triage decisions for accuracy and completeness
Detecting when a genuine threat may have been incorrectly dismissed
Highlighting patterns that suggest rule tuning or improvements
Providing consistent recommendations regardless of alert volume
Creating a valuable feedback loop that improves analyst performance

SAIINT is a dotSec-developed, AI-based SIEM enhancement.

It is unique to dotSec’s Managed SOC/SIEM service and operations, providing our Managed SOC clients with improved quality, reliability and transparency.

How does my organisation benefit from SAIINT?

Organisations benefit from SAIINT automatically when they engage DotSec for Managed SOC/MSIEM services. You do not need to operate or manage SAIINT; it runs as part of our internal processes. SAIINT is especially beneficial for environments that:

Generate regular notables through SIEM monitoring
Require consistent triage quality across different analysts and shifts
Need assurance that genuine threats aren’t missed
Operate in regulated sectors where auditability matters
Want confidence that rule tuning and alert quality are continually improving

If your organisation relies on DotSec for detection and response, then you will automatically benefit as SAIINT improves the accuracy and consistency of every triage decision we make on your behalf.

SAIINT operations and benefits

How does SAIINT work?

SAIINT operates as a continuous, automated quality-assurance workflow within DotSec’s security operations platform.

At a high level, SAIINT:

Identifies alerts that require review based on recent triage decisions
Applies AI analysis to assess analyst reasoning, supporting evidence and justification
Checks decisions against policy and expected best-practice response patterns
Classifies outcomes (e.g., appropriate / questionable / potentially incorrect)
Surfaces findings to senior engineers for validation, follow-up and training
Tracks trends over time, identifying recurring issues or rules requiring tuning

All enrichment, context and correlation have already been done by Splunk ES and our MSIEM processes; SAIINT focuses on reviewing the decisions our analysts make, not reprocessing raw log data, making the SOC operations more efficient, scalable and accurate.

How does SAIINT help?

SAIINT improves dotSec’s Managed SOC service by delivering the following benefits:

More accurate triage. SAIINT identifies when a security alert may have been incorrectly dismissed, reducing the risk of false negatives and improving overall detection accuracy.
Faster identification of real threats. Potentially misclassified alerts are escalated to senior DotSec engineers quickly, ensuring rapid follow-up and investigation.
Continuous improvement. By highlighting recurring triage mistakes and rule-related issues, SAIINT enables targeted analyst development and informed tuning of SIEM rules.
Consistency at scale. AI-supported review provides the same high level of scrutiny regardless of alert volume, workload or staffing levels.
Better reporting and transparency. Clients benefit from higher-quality reporting and clearer insights because SAIINT strengthens the accuracy of the underlying triage data.
Enhanced compliance outcomes. Where evidence of triage quality is required (e.g., audits, assurance reviews), SAIINT supports a documented and repeatable review process.

SAIINT stands out from conventional Managed SOC capabilities

SAIINT helps dotSec to stand out among managed SOC providers because:

We incorporate SAIINT directly into our operational process, giving clients an additional layer of assurance without adding cost or complexity.
Our AI review engine reinforces, rather than replaces, analyst judgement, resulting in improved accuracy and faster recognition of genuine issues.
Our team blends deep technical expertise with operational experience, ensuring AI findings are interpreted correctly and acted on by skilled engineers.
We operate a mature, multi-client architecture, ensuring that each client’s alert data remains isolated while benefiting from a shared AI platform.
We continually refine our MSIEM and SOC processes, including incorporation of SAIINT results into training, rule improvements and daily operations.

SAIINT is not a bolt-on or an optional add-on: It is part of how dotSec delivers a more accurate, reliable and evidence-driven Managed SOC service.
