FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you use Microsoft Sentinel exclusively?

Sentinel is our default β€” it integrates beautifully with M365/Azure and is cost-effective. We also work with Splunk, Elastic and Rapid7 InsightIDR if you already own a platform.

How do you price the SIEM data?

We pass through Azure Sentinel ingest at cost, plus our SOC managed fee per user/per month. You see exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you tune out noisy alerts?

Yes. We tune analytics rules weekly to keep alert volumes high-signal β€” most clients see 70%+ reduction in false positives in the first 90 days.

Will you respond β€” or just notify?

Respond. Our SOC has agreed playbooks to isolate hosts, disable accounts and contain before notifying you with a clean summary.
