Goldoak Spectacles is a SIEM and SOAR platform from Goldoak GmbH in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland, aimed at small and mid-sized organisations and IT service providers without their own security team. It collects logs from endpoints, servers, cloud services and network devices, detects threats with rules and threat intelligence, and offers predefined response actions such as isolating a system, locking an account or securing evidence. The vendor also offers incident response and penetration testing.
Goldoak is a Swiss company; no foreign parent is stated. According to the vendor, Spectacles can be hosted in Switzerland or the EU and run either as a cloud service or on the customer's own infrastructure, with dedicated instances per customer for service providers. The vendor describes the service as compliant with Swiss data protection law and the GDPR. Switzerland is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. For a European organisation, the hosting location and the on-premises option are the main sovereignty levers. Log data can contain sensitive information, so ask about retention periods and who has access.
