Requirements
Which risks must be closed and where the demand comes from: NIS2, a customer contract, your cyber insurance or your own risk assessment.
Security tools should be chosen to meet a defined need, not because a vendor gave a slick demo. Projects rarely fail at the purchase stage. They fail afterwards, when the product sits in monitor-only mode for years because nobody dares to switch on blocking.
We work in the opposite order to most sales cycles: first we write down what must be covered, and only then do we look at products.
Which risks must be closed and where the demand comes from: NIS2, a customer contract, your cyber insurance or your own risk assessment.
Plenty of companies already pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3/E5 with Defender, Intune and Entra ID P1 and never use them. We check before anything new is bought.
The tool runs on a limited group of machines and users, so compatibility and workflows are tested in real conditions.
Policies, integration with existing systems and a phased rollout through Intune or another central tool, with no one walking from desk to desk.
Your IT staff learn to read alerts, tune rules and handle exceptions without calling us.
If you prefer, we carry on with updates, tuning and alert review under a fixed agreement.
A typical project takes from three weeks to two months depending on users, locations and systems.
We record what the solution must achieve and how we will measure whether it does.
A pilot on 5-10 machines from different departments. A conflict is far cheaper to discover on ten devices than on two hundred.
Department by department with a way back, moving gradually from monitoring to enforcement.
Documentation, online training and an agreed routine for dealing with alerts.
A tool with no owner only protects you until its first update. Rules age, alerts pile up and nobody reads them. Training your own people is therefore not an extra, it is a fixed part of the project, and without it the investment quietly loses its value.
On the pilot results and on who will run it. A product with slightly fewer features that your IT lead understands will beat a more powerful one that nobody can operate.
That is the first thing we check, and quite often the answer is yes, at least in part. Windows, Microsoft 365 and current firewalls ship with plenty of security features that have simply never been enabled.
That is the point of the pilot. It exposes problems before you have licensed the whole company, and licences are always registered to you, so you are never tied to us.
Yes. Every deployment is done remotely through Intune, group policy or the vendor's own console. If a physical box needs plugging in, your own staff or local contractor does it following our instructions.
Tell us which requirements you need to meet and what is already running. We will suggest options and begin with a pilot.
