What we do

Cloud Security Architecture

We design the detection, tune it to your estate, and hand your team a backlog they can work through.

The problem

Defender for Cloud is usually switched on during a project and produces several thousand recommendations. Without someone owning each finding, the list is rarely revisited, so Secure Score is reported every month and stays where it was. This is a triage problem, and what helps is an owner and a priority for each finding.

You probably need this if

  • Defender for Cloud has thousands of open recommendations and no owner
  • Sentinel is ingesting logs, and the analytics rules are the ones set up at deployment
  • Secure Score appears in a monthly deck and stays where it was
  • Your team can tell you the alert count, and it's harder to say which alerts matter

What the service covers

  1. 1Microsoft Defender for Cloud: plan selection, baseline assignment, and the backlog worked through into owned, prioritised items
  2. 2Microsoft Sentinel: analytics rules tuned to your estate, watchlists, and playbooks for the alerts that recur
  3. 3A Secure Score improvement plan with a named owner and an agreed target for each finding
  4. 4Vulnerability management design across VMs, containers and registries, prioritised by exploitability as well as CVSS score
  5. 5Identity threat detection and response: Entra ID Protection for cloud identities, Defender for Identity where hybrid Active Directory is in scope
  6. 6Incident review after each incident, so a recurring alert has a documented response the next time it arrives

Starting with the backlog

The first job is usually triage: working through the Defender for Cloud backlog, putting an owner and a priority against each finding, and checking how Sentinel's analytics rules are tuned. If you'd like that as a defined piece of work, Security Baseline Hardening takes four to eight weeks.
