Logging governance for environments where sensitive data matters.
These are concrete logging problems. Cerbi helps teams reduce the risk of sensitive data appearing in logs, in regulated industries and beyond.
Cerbi is not a compliance certification. These use cases describe common logging governance patterns and the controls Cerbi provides. Consult your legal and compliance team for your specific regulatory obligations.
Keep patient data out of application logs
Patient identifiers, diagnosis codes, and medication fields should never appear in logs. Cerbi blocks disallowed fields at the point of emission, before any log sink, SIEM, or observability platform sees them.
- Block PHI field names at emission time
- Redact values that match identifier patterns
- Require audit-friendly metadata on all log events
- Track violations without blocking application flow
Supports safer logging in HIPAA-sensitive environments. Not a HIPAA certification.
Stop payment fields from leaking into exception logs
Card numbers, CVV values, and account identifiers frequently surface in stack traces and debug output. Governance rules block them across MEL, Serilog, and NLog without requiring developers to audit every log call site.
- Block PAN, CVV, and routing number fields
- Mask partial values where context is needed
- Enforce structured transaction correlation fields
- Consistent policy across all .NET logging frameworks
Supports reduced cardholder data exposure in logs. Not a PCI DSS certification.
Enforce log schema and tenant isolation across teams
Multi-tenant applications need consistent logging conventions. Platform teams can define required fields, enforce tenant-aware policies, and track compliance posture across services without blocking individual teams.
- Require tenantId and correlationId on all log events
- Block cross-tenant field leakage
- Team-level policy profiles
- Governance scoring per service
Helps maintain consistent logging standards in multi-tenant SaaS environments.
Reduce personal data exposure in logs
Personal data in logs is a common oversight. Cerbi can block or redact personal identifiers at emission time, reducing the surface area of personal data stored in observability platforms and log archives.
- Block or redact PII field names and patterns
- Enforce data minimization in log output
- Governance rules version-controlled alongside code
- Consistent policy across cloud and on-prem sinks
Supports privacy-conscious logging practices. Not a GDPR certification or legal advice.
Roll out org-wide logging governance at scale
Platform teams can define centralized governance profiles that all services inherit. Rules are version-controlled JSON, validated at build time, and enforced at runtime without requiring every team to implement their own controls.
- Central policy management and distribution
- Per-service governance scorecards
- CI/CD integration for build-time validation
- Works with existing observability stacks
Designed for engineering organizations that need consistent logging standards across many services.
Enforce required fields and surface violations
Internal audit workflows require predictable, structured log output. Cerbi enforces required metadata fields, tracks schema violations, and generates governance reports without adding complexity to individual services.
- Require audit-friendly fields like requestId and actor
- Track and report schema violations
- Immutable append-only audit trail support
- Governance posture trend reporting
Helps generate evidence for internal logging controls. Not a SOC 2 certification.
Want a starting point for your environment?
Cerbi provides optional starter templates for healthcare, payments, privacy, and audit environments. They are starting points, not legal artifacts.
