Real Microsoft security value in just four weeks.

While many providers take more than 30 days just to onboard customers and connect data sources, Ascent uses proprietary automation tooling to have Sentinel integrated, operating, and tuning logs in under a single business week.

What's Included

• Deployment and configuration of Sentinel in alignment with Microsoft best practices and your environment.
• Connection and ingestion of key log sources to establish full visibility.
• Tuning of analytics rules to minimize noise and surface high-value alerts.
• A cost-benefit analysis comparing Sentinel to your current solution, including savings from Microsoft's Sentinel Data Lake model.

Ascent builds each engagement around Microsoft's Sentinel Data Lake strategy from the start, so you retain data longer and expand analytics without raising ingestion costs. We also apply our own detectionomics methodology, quantifying the cost of every detection and response so your SOC spends time on the work that delivers the most value.

Fragmented endpoint and identity security leaves organizations vulnerable. Point solutions create visibility gaps, generate excessive noise, and slow down response when threats strike.

What's Included

• Full Defender onboarding across endpoint, identity, email, and cloud apps within one month.
• Integration with Microsoft Sentinel for cross-domain telemetry and centralized visibility.
• Alignment with Microsoft's XDR capabilities, so intelligence from Microsoft's threat research is built into your defenses.
• Proven playbooks that cut noise and surface only high-value detections.

Legacy identity systems create unnecessary complexity, higher costs, and security gaps that attackers exploit.

What's Included

• Unified identity management across cloud and on-prem systems.
• Conditional Access and MFA deployed within the first two weeks to reduce credential-based attacks.
• Expert migration from non-Microsoft IAM systems into Entra with minimal disruption.
• Zero Trust alignment built in from the start, for a scalable long-term foundation.

Legacy device management tools like SCCM and third-party MDM solutions create complexity, slow down IT teams, and make it harder to enforce compliance.

What's Included

• Day 1 device onboarding for fast visibility and reduced endpoint risk.
• Conditional Access and compliance policies operational within the first two weeks.
• Co-management alongside SCCM or other legacy MDM solutions with minimal disruption.
• Integrated identity and device protection through Entra + Intune for unified security.

Sensitive data spread across cloud platforms, email, collaboration tools, and endpoints creates regulatory and data-loss risk that legacy governance approaches are too slow and disruptive to manage.

What's Included

• Discovery and classification of sensitive data across your environment.
• Compliance and protection policies deployed and made actionable.
• Integrated reporting and dashboards for real-time visibility.
• Integration with Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, extending protection and telemetry across your security stack.

Ascent translates regulatory obligations directly into Purview controls, helping you align with GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and other requirements without slowing the business down.
