What is Resource Surveillance?

Resource Surveillance & Integration Engine (surveilr)

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.

The Resource Surveillance & Integration Engine—more conveniently referred to as surveilr (pronounced "surveiler")—is designed to address modern challenges by providing a centralized platform for evidence surveillance and data aggregation, enabling organizations to securely collect, analyze and audit critical evidentiary data from across their systems.

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.

How surveilr Works

Stateful Data Integration: Unlike simple data transfer tools, surveilr doesn't just move information between systems. It stores and organizes data in a way that is standardized, making it easy to query and manage.

Local-First, Edge-Based: surveilr processes data as close as possible to where it is collected—on local devices, laptops, or edge systems. This reduces the need for unnecessary data transfers, keeping sensitive data secure by handling it locally before sending it to a central location.

SQL-Centric: surveilr uses the power of SQL, a universal database language, to ensure your data can be accessed, searched, and analyzed efficiently.

Why Does This Matter?

For industries like regulatory science, cybersecurity, and healthcare, surveilr ensures that critical data—whether it's regulatory reports, cybersecurity logs, or patient records—can be managed safely and efficiently. It supports secure data transmission and guarantees that sensitive information is anonymized or de-identified when needed, helping your organization remain compliant with HIPAA, GDPR and other data protection standards.

Key Benefits

Streamlined Compliance: surveilr ensures that 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 of sensitive information. Only what's needed is transferred to central servers, reducing exposure and risks.

Interoperability: surveilr integrates seamlessly with your existing systems—email, databases, GitHub, Jira—ensuring smooth exchange of information across platforms.

Scalability: Whether you're handling a small team or a large enterprise, flexible architecture adapts to your needs, providing secure and efficient solutions that grow with your organization.

Wide Applicability Across Industries

One of the key reasons surveilr is so widely applicable across industries is because it's a complete SQL-based data aggregation and orchestration platform. At its core is 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, allows it to support:

Industry-Neutral Formats:

• Text
• JSON
• XML
• Excel
• Parquet
• CSV

Industry-Specific Formats:

• X.12 (Electronic Data Interchange)
• HL7 v2 (Healthcare Messaging Standard)
• FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)

Bridging Data Silos

In today's digital landscape, most business data is scattered across multiple systems. Data might be locked away in:

• Emails
• Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems like GitHub, GitLab, Jira, or Asana
• Project Management systems like Trello and Monday.com
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems like Salesforce or HubSpot
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like SAP or Oracle
• Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in the healthcare industry

However, this data is not always readily accessible in one place. Pulling together information from these siloed systems to get a unified view for decision making is an enormous challenge for most organizations.

surveilr steps in to bridge this gap by acting as a universal data aggregator, capable of pulling data from multiple, disparate sources and organizing it in a way that is instantly queryable.

A single edge-based binary of surveilr can securely pull data from these sources—be it emails, PLM systems, CRMs, ERPs, or specialized industry formats—and prepare it for uniform querying using SQL-friendly tools. Whether you are trying to aggregate evidence from multiple SaaS platforms, gather information from log files, or collate data from a variety of knowledgebases and local files, surveilr makes it possible to bring all that information into a cohesive, structured format.

The Value Proposition

This capability is particularly valuable because it eliminates the need for complex data migrations or manual data extraction efforts, which are often costly and time-consuming. By supporting both local-first processing and cloud-based deployments, surveilr provides the flexibility to process sensitive data behind firewalls, anonymize or clean it if necessary, and then share or store it securely.

The ability to consolidate human-generated and machine-generated evidence into a single uniform format makes audits, compliance checks, and decision-making far easier and more effective.

By using surveilr as a universal data aggregator, businesses can confidently prepare and share data across internal and external systems with the peace of mind that it has been properly processed, anonymized, and secured.
