Modern SecOps Envisioning Workshop

Microsoft Security Solutions Partner logo

Why run this

  • Design a unified SOC. Replace siloed tools with a coherent operating model on Defender XDR and Sentinel.
  • Do more with the team you have. Use automation for triage and common containment so analysts focus on higher‑value work.
  • Control cost. Shape a data strategy and retention plan that supports detection quality without runaway ingestion.

What you get

  • Mandatory modules. Unified SecOps (Defender XDR), Identity Threat Detection, Collaboration Threat Detection, Azure Threat Detection, and Threat Intelligence.
  • Options that fit your goals. Server Threat Detection, third‑party alerts/logging, SOC automation, Sentinel cost estimation, data ingestion and retention design.
  • A practical roadmap. Architecture, playbooks, roles and responsibilities, and a near‑term automation plan.

Who it’s for

  • Baseline: 300–5,000 Entra ID Plan 1 PAU and 250+ MAU across core Microsoft 365 services.
  • Leaders building or modernising a SOC who want clarity on data, process, and automation.

Format

  • Delivered over an extended period.
  • Kick‑off to connect data sources and agree the operating model.
  • Collect and observe data and trial low‑risk automations for up to a month.
  • Analyse results and make design decisions based on evidence.
  • Briefing with a cost‑aware, sequenced roadmap.

Client time required (3-4 days)

  • Scoping and data/log mapping prep: 1.5–2 hours (sponsor, SecOps, IT)
  • Stakeholder working time across 3–4 days:
    • Exec sponsor: 1.5–2.5 hours (kick-off, midpoint, briefing)
    • SecOps analysts/lead: 6–9 hours (design sessions, playbooks, automation)
    • IT platform/Azure owners: 3–5 hours (connectors, retention, cost review)
  • Daily stand-ups: 30 minutes per day (3–4 occurrences)
  • Final briefing and roadmap: 60–90 minutes
  • Total across roles: 10–14 hours
  • Typical per role: Exec 2–3 hours; Core SecOps 7–10 hours; IT 3–5 hours

Questions to consider

What data must land in Sentinel on day one, and why?
Which triage steps will you automate first to reduce backlog?
Which SLAs or OKRs will define SecOps performance for the next quarter?
What handoffs between IT, SecOps, and IR cause delays today?

Client story

A payments provider needed 24/7 incident coverage but had a small team and manual triage. Multiple tools generated overlapping alerts without context.

Priority data sources were mapped and Defender XDR and Sentinel connected. Playbooks for malware, phishing, and risky sign ins were built, with automation introduced for common correlations and notifications. Ingestion and retention were estimated so costs stayed predictable.

Within a month two automation rules were in pilot, a daily SecOps stand up clarified handoffs, and a 90 day roadmap set the order for data onboarding, automation, and training.
