Microsoft Security Product Line Service

This offering is narrowly focused on helping you deploy, tune, and operationalize the Microsoft Security product stack. It intentionally excludes general application / supply chain security and custom software review so that we can deliver fast, opinionated guidance where Microsoft-native capabilities matter most.

In-Scope Product Families

  • Microsoft Defender XDR (Defender for Endpoint, Identity / Entra ID Protection, Office 365, Cloud Apps, Server, Cloud, and Vulnerability Management)

  • Microsoft Sentinel (log source onboarding, analytics rules, automation / SOAR playbooks, workbooks)

  • Microsoft Entra ID (Conditional Access, Identity Protection policies, PIM role strategy)

  • Microsoft Purview (DLP policies, sensitivity labels, insider risk – high‑level configuration & rollout approach)

  • Defender for Cloud / CSPM baseline policy alignment & recommendations

Core Focus Areas

  • Licensing & feature alignment: matching SKU capabilities to security objectives

  • Secure deployment sequencing: phased enablement plans to avoid user disruption

  • Data connector & telemetry onboarding strategy (Sentinel + Defender workloads)

  • Analytics & detection tuning (rule selection, noise reduction, enrichment ideas)

  • Incident triage workflows (Defender portal & Sentinel integration, role delineation)

  • Conditional Access & Zero Trust access posture review (gap & risk summary)

  • Role Based Access (RBAC / PIM) rationalization for least privilege operations

  • Automation & playbooks (Sentinel Logic Apps: containment, notification, enrichment)

  • Exposure / vulnerability signal interpretation & operational cadence

  • High‑level data loss protection (Purview labeling & DLP policy rollout staging)

Explicit Exclusions

The following are out of scope for this service (may require a broader security or application assessment engagement): * Custom application code review or secure SDLC pipeline design * Non-Microsoft SIEM / EDR / CASB tooling * Deep forensics or incident response beyond triage playbook design * Red / purple teaming execution (we can recommend, but not perform here) * Detailed SBOM / supply chain attestations & build hardening * Source code or dependency vulnerability remediation services

Engagement Flow

  1. Scoping Call – confirm product SKUs in use, current deployment stage, target outcomes.

  2. Baseline Review – gather current portal configuration exports, role assignments, key policies, data connector list.

  3. Working Sessions – themed deep dives (e.g., Sentinel analytics, Conditional Access tuning, Defender attack surface reduction).

  4. Prioritized Roadmap – 30/60/90 day actionable plan with impact & effort tags.

  5. (Optional) Playbook & Rule Tuning Support – iterative refinement over agreed window.

  6. Closeout – summary report + recommended operational metrics (coverage, alert fidelity, MTTA/MTTR tracking pointers).

Deliverables

  • Deployment & maturity score snapshot (qualitative + quick win table)

  • Prioritized roadmap (CSV / table suitable for backlog import)

  • Sentinel data connector & analytics gap matrix

  • Conditional Access & Identity Protection recommendation set

  • RBAC / PIM rationalization summary

  • Optional: Sample Logic App / KQL rule snippets (illustrative, not full library)

Optional Add‑Ons

  • Monthly advisory checkpoint (roadmap progress & new feature review)

  • Targeted KQL analytics / hunting query workshop

  • Incident simulation tabletop (Sentinel + Defender workflow validation)
