Microsoft Sentinel consulting

Lower Sentinel cost. Stronger detection confidence.

Senior-led optimisation for Microsoft-first organisations that need to understand what they are paying for, what they are detecting and where operational gaps remain.

Cost & Detection Recovery

A focused engagement for an expensive, noisy or unclear Sentinel environment.

Microsoft Sentinel can provide strong security outcomes, but only when data, detections and response workflows are aligned to the risks the organisation actually needs to manage.

Skraba examines the operational system around Sentinel—not just the configuration. That includes ingestion choices, retention and data tiers, analytics, detection coverage, false-positive pressure, incident ownership and the decisions security leaders need to make.

The result is a prioritised view of where cost can be reduced, where coverage needs attention and which changes will improve day-to-day security operations.

Discuss your Sentinel environment

What the work covers

Cost, coverage and response treated as one operating problem.

Reducing spend without understanding detection value can create blind spots. Adding detections without fixing ownership and workflow can create more noise. The engagement addresses those decisions together.

01

Baseline cost and data

Map ingestion, retention, table use and the data contributing most heavily to cost.

02

Assess detection coverage

Review priority threats, analytics, gaps, duplication and confidence in the resulting incidents.

03

Reduce avoidable noise

Tune agreed content and workflows so analyst attention is directed toward useful security signal.

04

Improve response paths

Clarify ownership, escalation and the operational steps needed after an incident is created.

05

Implement priorities

Make controlled changes where agreed instead of leaving the organisation with recommendations alone.

06

Transfer the baseline

Provide decision-ready reporting, an improvement roadmap and a clean handover to the operating team.

When to involve us

Useful when cost is visible but value is difficult to prove.

01

Ingestion keeps rising

Data volume and retention decisions have grown without a clear connection to detection or investigation value.

02

The SOC is overloaded

Analysts are carrying avoidable noise while leaders remain uncertain about material coverage gaps.

03

A change needs evidence

A provider transition, architecture decision, budget challenge or internal audit requires a defensible baseline.
