Zeid Data Analytics & Research Lab

Zeid Data is a software engineering & research lab focused on deterministic security analytics, automation, and governance you can prove.

Deterministic
Exit codes, stable outputs, reproducible runs
Evidence-first
Receipts, retention, chain-of-custody, audit trails
Security-grade
Least privilege, segmentation, and hardening

Operational AI
Guardrails, logging, and approvals — because vibes don’t pass audits.

What we build

Software you can ship, research you can cite, and outputs you can defend.

Software Engineering

Custom tooling, integrations, and automation designed for operators: non‑interactive runs, clear failure modes, and artifacts your pipeline can actually use.

  • CLI tools, agents, and utilities
  • APIs, integrations, and workflow glue
  • Deterministic outputs + test discipline

Research Lab

Investigations and experiments that turn “interesting” into runnable artifacts—detections, studies, templates, and repeatable analysis.

  • Threat research & telemetry studies
  • Detection packs (Sigma/Suricata/YARA)
  • Write‑ups that map to deployable code

Evidence & Governance Engineering

Compliance is a byproduct of good engineering. We wire in evidence, controls, and retention so the audit trail exists because the system does.

  • Control-to-telemetry mapping
  • Evidence capture + retention automation
  • Runbooks, change logs, and review trails

The Lab

Our public work lives on GitHub: real code, real artifacts, and the receipts behind the claims.

What you'll find

  • Automation scripts (network, admin, and audit scaffolding)
  • Research write‑ups + runnable proof-of-analysis
  • Detection engineering packs + tuning notes
  • Templates and evidence bundle structures
  • CI‑enforced controls (quality gates, validation, policy as code)

Governance that doesn't slow engineering down

We keep the system fast and the trail complete: lineage, access, change history, and decision logging baked in so “prove it” becomes “here you go.”

Evidence-ready by design
Lineage, access logs, change control, reviews, and reproducible runs.
Least‑privilege pipelines
Scoped tokens, service accounts, secrets discipline, and segmentation.
Retention & reporting
Immutable archives, fast retrieval, and audit-safe reporting output.

Pricing shown as Sprint vs Partnership to keep this page flexible—final scope depends on your environment, access constraints, and assurance requirements.

How we work

Clean steps, crisp deliverables, and evidence that survives contact with reality.

  1. 01
    Discovery & constraints
    Goals, access model, telemetry sources, and assurance requirements.
  2. 02
    Architecture & plan
    Blueprint, milestones, success metrics, and evidence strategy.
  3. 03
    Build & validate
    Code, tests, CI hooks, and stable artifact outputs.
  4. 04
    Ship & operate
    Runbooks, training, and optional ongoing iteration.

What you get

  • Documented architecture + diagrams
  • Code + tests + build instructions
  • Artifacts (reports, exports, evidence outputs)
  • Runbooks + operational training
  • Security recommendations and hardening notes

FAQ

Quick answers. For scope, we’ll map it in a short call.

Is your work open source?

A meaningful chunk is. Our public lab lives on GitHub, and we use it as a living reference for our engineering style and artifacts. Some client work is private by necessity — but we keep the same discipline either way.

Do you work in air‑gapped or restricted networks?

Yes—depending on access constraints. We can deliver with offline documentation, controlled transfers, and procedures that match your security posture.

Can you integrate with our current tools?

That’s the normal path. We focus on practical integrations—data sources, SIEM/logging, CI/CD, and governance—without forcing a rip‑and‑replace.

How do you handle AI safely?

We treat AI like any other system: define scope, protect data, log actions, add approvals, and keep clear boundaries between sensitive and non‑sensitive workflows.

What do you need to start?

Goals, a shortlist of systems and data sources, and your assurance requirements. We’ll translate that into milestones, artifacts, and a build plan.

What does “evidence‑first” mean in practice?

Every workflow produces durable artifacts: logs, exports, reports, hashes, change history, and run metadata — so decisions can be verified later without memory archaeology.

Let’s build something defensible

Tell us what you’re trying to ship. We’ll respond with a practical plan and the first set of milestones (and a calm explanation of why “just wing it” is not a control).
