Cloud, Security & Operations
Security Monitoring
Collection and analysis of security logs from endpoints, cloud, identity and network systems in a SIEM, with detection rules tuned to your environment and analysts who triage alerts around the clock.
Capability overview
What security monitoring involves
Preventive controls eventually fail, so you need to know when something suspicious is happening. Security monitoring brings logs from identity, endpoints, cloud accounts, firewalls and key applications into one place and applies detection rules that turn raw events into actionable alerts.
We build or take over SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic Security or Wazuh, map detection coverage to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and operate triage with documented escalation. Log retention is set to meet obligations such as CERT-In's 180-day requirement.
What is included
What the service includes
SIEM deployment
Platform sized for your log volume and retention needs, with ingestion costs estimated up front so the bill does not surprise finance.
Log source onboarding
Identity provider, EDR, firewall, VPN, cloud audit logs and critical applications connected and parsed correctly.
Detection engineering
Rules for credential abuse, lateral movement, privilege escalation and data exfiltration, tested with simulated attacks and tuned to cut noise.
Alert triage and escalation
Analysts investigate alerts against runbooks and escalate confirmed incidents by phone within agreed response times.
How we work
How we deliver security monitoring
Use case definition
The threats that matter most to you selected and translated into specific detection requirements.
Log onboarding
Sources connected in priority order, with parsing checked so fields such as user and source address are usable.
Rule tuning period
Four to six weeks of alert review to suppress benign activity before the service goes live.
Runbook agreement
Escalation contacts, severity definitions and permitted containment actions signed off with your team.
Coverage reporting
Monthly report on alerts handled, detection gaps against ATT&CK and new rules added.

Questions about Security Monitoring

Ask a questionNot always. Organisations already on Microsoft 365 E5 or Azure often start with Microsoft Sentinel, while open source platforms such as Wazuh suit smaller budgets. The choice depends on log volume and existing tools.
Yes, when the managed triage option is chosen. Coverage hours are defined in the service agreement, and some clients choose business-hours triage with out-of-hours escalation only for critical alerts.
Setup is a one-off project fee. Ongoing monitoring is a monthly fee based on the number of log sources or daily log volume and the coverage hours chosen. SIEM licence or ingestion costs are separate.
The on-duty analyst confirms the activity, takes any containment actions you have pre-approved such as isolating a device, and phones your named contact. Larger incidents move into our incident response process.
