New log storage solution delivers 12-month EU-stored log retention, addressing forensic readiness and compliance gaps for regulated organisations
The Hague, Netherlands, April 23, 2026 — Eye Security, a European leader in managed cybersecurity, today announced Eye Log, a log storage solution that enhances its Cyber Guard platform with EU‑sovereign log retention. Eye Log delivers enterprise‑grade forensic readiness and compliance confidence to businesses that do not want the cost or complexity of a traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system.
The launch addresses a growing forensic and compliance gap that auditors and insurers are increasingly flagging: most endpoint detection tools capture only a narrow set of logs and retain them for just 14 to 90 days by default, leaving organisations both limited in log depth and forensically blind for the rest of the year. As regulatory requirements tighten across Europe, maintaining proportionate logging and monitoring controls is becoming inevitable.
Cyber insurance renewals are also driving urgency. Insurers now frequently require proof of long-term log retention, something many IT teams cannot meet without significant infrastructure investment. Auditors report the same pattern: when an incident is discovered, the first question is always “Do you have logs from that period?” For most organisations, the answer is no, creating forensic gaps that block both incident investigations and compliance evidence.
Eye Log closes this gap with two tiers tailored to different retention, retrieval, and forensic investigation needs:
-
Eye Log Comply: 12 months of cold storage with a 48-business-hour retrieval SLA, designed for organisations that need audit-ready log records without the cost or complexity of running a SIEM.
-
Eye Log Hybrid: 30 days of hot storage plus 11 months of cold archive, with a 24-business-hour retrieval SLA for hot data and 48-business-hour SLA for cold. Built for higher-risk environments and sectors where active incidents require fast access to historical data for forensic reconstruction alongside compliance coverage.
“We see most organisations today trapped between two bad options: accept the forensic limitations of 14–90‑day endpoint logs, or spend six figures on a SIEM that nobody has the time or resources to tune. But logs tell an important story, and when auditors ask for that evidence, it should simply be there.
That’s exactly why we built Eye Log. We understand the realities our customers face, and we designed Eye Log to meet their needs without the over‑complexity that comes with many traditional solutions. And because it’s fully managed by our SOC and works in synergy with Cyber Guard, Eye Log delivers compliance confidence and investigation readiness from day one. Our goal at Eye Security is to give customers real peace of mind, not burden them with yet another ‘fire‑and‑forget’ tool.”
