Microsoft 365 Security Platform

Your M365 licence is a unified security platform.
Are you treating it like one?

Microsoft has unified Defender XDR, Sentinel SIEM, Entra ID, and Security Copilot into a single, AI-driven defence platform. Most organisations activate a fraction of it. We deploy the full stack — then prove it's working.

One platform. Prevention, detection, and response unified.

Microsoft's unified security platform eliminates the silos. Every component shares intelligence, correlates signals, and acts autonomously — from exposure management through to automated remediation.

Defender XDR

Cross-domain protection across endpoints, email, identities, and cloud apps. Automatic attack disruption stops ransomware and BEC in real time.

Defender for Endpoint · Office 365 · Identity · Cloud Apps

Microsoft Sentinel

Industry-leading SIEM with 350+ native connectors, AI-driven analytics, and a cost-effective data lake. Unified incident queue with full SOAR capabilities.

SIEM · SOAR · UEBA · Threat Intelligence

Entra ID & Identity Protection

Comprehensive identity protection for human, non-human, and hybrid identities. Adaptive Conditional Access, PIM, Identity Governance, and Zero Trust policies.

Entra ID P2 · PIM · Identity Governance · Defender for Identity

Security Copilot

AI-driven SOC assistant with agentic capabilities. Natural language investigations, autonomous phishing triage, guided remediation, and executive reporting.

30% faster MTTR · 85% reduction in analyst labour
