How surveilr Works
A centralized platform for evidence surveillance and data aggregation, enabling organizations to securely collect, analyze, and audit critical evidentiary data from across their systems.
Overview
Organizations in industries such as finance, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and cybersecurity must aggregate data from multiple sources to navigate complex evidence-driven decision-making processes and meet stringent regulatory compliance requirements.
surveilr is an advanced platform designed to streamline data integration across your organization, with a special focus on evidence data—proving whether policies are being followed or whether systems are meeting key standards. Whether you're dealing with regulatory requirements, compliance audits, or patient data privacy, surveilr makes the complex task of managing machine attestation data much easier.
Core Workflow
surveilr transforms scattered data into queryable intelligence through a streamlined four-step process.
Collect
surveilr pulls data from diverse sources—emails, PLM systems, CRMs, ERPs, log files, and industry-specific formats—using a single edge-based binary.
Process Locally
Data is processed as close as possible to where it's collected—on local devices, laptops, or edge systems—keeping sensitive information secure.
Standardize
Content is organized into a universal relational database schema, transforming disparate data into a cohesive, structured format ready for querying.
Query & Analyze
Use the power of SQL to access, search, and analyze your data efficiently through any SQL-friendly tool.
Key Components
The architectural pillars that make surveilr a powerful and flexible data aggregation platform.
Stateful Data Integration
Unlike simple data transfer tools, surveilr doesn't just move information between systems. It stores and organizes data in a standardized way, making it easy to query and manage.
Local-First, Edge-Based
Processes data as close as possible to where it is collected—reducing unnecessary transfers and keeping sensitive data secure by handling it locally before centralization.
SQL-Centric Architecture
Uses the power of SQL, a universal database language, to ensure your data can be accessed, searched, and analyzed efficiently across your organization.
Universal Format Support
Handles industry-neutral formats (JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, Parquet) and specialized formats (X.12, HL7 v2, FHIR) through its content assembler.
Cross-Platform Integration
Integrates seamlessly with existing systems—whether it's email, databases, GitHub, Jira, Salesforce, SAP, or healthcare EHRs.
Compliance-Ready
Ensures data is anonymized or de-identified when needed, helping organizations remain compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and other data protection standards.
Universal Data Aggregation
Why surveilr is so widely applicable across industries.
At its core, surveilr features an opinionated, superbly designed universal relational database schema that can handle content from almost any source. This powerful schema, coupled with surveilr's content assembler, supports both industry-neutral and specialized formats.
Industry-Neutral Formats
- Text, JSON, XML
- Excel, CSV, Parquet
Industry-Specific Formats
- X.12 (Electronic Data Interchange)
- HL7 v2 (Healthcare Messaging)
- FHIR (Healthcare Interoperability)
A single edge-based binary can securely pull data from emails, PLM systems, CRMs, ERPs, or specialized industry formats—and prepare it for uniform querying using SQL-friendly tools. This eliminates the need for complex data migrations or manual extraction efforts.
Benefits of the Approach
Why organizations across industries choose surveilr for their data aggregation needs.
Streamlined Compliance
All compliance evidence is collected, organized, and ready for audit—saving time and reducing human error.
Data Security
Edge-based approach ensures data stays secure by limiting unnecessary movement. Only what's needed is transferred to central servers.
Interoperability
Integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, ensuring smooth exchange of information across platforms.
Scalability
Flexible architecture adapts from small teams to large enterprises, providing a secure, efficient solution that grows with you.
