KRYOS-XS Console / Service 04

Alert Triage and Incident Adjudication

Consolidate security alerts into a prioritized decision queue and connect related events so the broader situation is evaluated.

What this service does

The problem, the evidence, and what stays with you

The problem addressed

Alerts arrive faster than a small team can read them, and reviewing each one in isolation hides the situation the alerts collectively describe.

Authorized information required

Security alerts from connected systems, the related events around them, affected users and systems, and the age and source of each fact.

The intelligence layer ArtOfTheHack adds

Related events are connected, contradictory evidence is sought, likelihood and impact are estimated and organizational policy is applied before priority is assigned.

The decision value you receive

One prioritized queue where each item states its owner, severity, confidence, missing information, recommended action, approver and deadline.

What remains under your control

The source platform stays the system of record; KRYOS organizes and adjudicates what it reports and never claims evidence it cannot see.

Workflow

The six-stage governed sequence

Nothing in this sequence is skipped. Evidence precedes inference, authority precedes action, and verification precedes assurance.

  1. Stage 01

    Consolidate

    Relevant Google Workspace security alerts are gathered into one queue.

    Output feeds stage 02: Relate

  2. Stage 02

    Relate

    Related events are connected so isolated alerts are not reviewed individually.

    Output feeds stage 03: Cross-check

  3. Stage 03

    Cross-check

    Evidence source and age are verified and contradictory evidence is sought.

    Output feeds stage 04: Prioritize

  4. Stage 04

    Prioritize

    Likelihood and potential impact are estimated and organizational policy applied.

    Output feeds stage 05: Assign

  5. Stage 05

    Assign

    An owner, required approver, severity, deadline and recommended action are set.

    Output feeds stage 06: Verify

  6. Stage 06

    Verify

    The outcome is confirmed and the decision preserved in the Decision Ledger.

    Closes the sequence and returns evidence to the decision record

Hard boundary

KRYOS does not create raw telemetry and does not detect. It organizes and adjudicates what connected systems already report.

Evidence in

What the workflow reads

  • Workspace security alerts
  • Related events
  • Affected users and systems
  • Evidence source and age
  • Organizational policy

Decision out

What the workflow returns

  • Priority
  • Owner
  • Severity
  • Confidence
  • Missing information
  • Recommended action
  • Required approver
  • Deadline
  • Current status

Authority and action

Who decides, who acts, how it is verified

Service posture
Advisory with approval-gated action
Acting API
The originating platform API, used for write-back only where one exists.
Approving authority
The decision owner named on the governed decision, within the assigned deadline.
Verification
The verdict, action and analyst feedback are preserved and compared with the outcome.
Rollback and reversal
Suppressions carry an expiry and write-back is reversible in the source console.

Connection

What must be authorized

  • Google Workspace alert evidence
  • Optional SIEM alert feed where an API exists
Delivery
Authorized API integration, webhooks, or structured evidence submissions. No endpoint agent, no appliance, no product replacement.
System of record
The connected source platform remains the system of record and the point of enforcement. ArtOfTheHack proposes; the source system acts.
Cost to the grantee
KRYOS-XS is provided at no cost to eligible nonprofits under a grant funded by James Scott and administered by the Embassy Row Project.
  • Read-only advisory operation by default
  • Human approval for high-impact actions
