Sentinel and Security Copilot: Modern SecOps with Unified Platform Deployment
por Simplicity IT Inc.
Cut analyst time per incident by 54% by deploying Microsoft Security Copilot onto Sentinel.
Built for the SOC manager whose analysts spend more time writing KQL and assembling incident summaries than deciding anything. This engagement will accelerate investigation and reduce the time an analyst spends per incident by more than half.
Who this is for
Security teams that already run Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR and have a real analyst function, typically three or more people, where the constraint is time per incident rather than coverage. The SOC manager owns the outcome, the CISO funds it against analyst capacity, and finance wants the Security Compute Unit commitment sized honestly before it is signed. The forcing event is usually a post-incident review that found investigation time rather than detection was what let an intrusion persist, and a CISO who cannot close that finding by hiring.
What we deliver
- Security Compute Unit sizing against your actual incident and hunting volume, with a provisioning plan that avoids the two common failure modes: over-provisioning on day one, and throttling the moment the team starts using it.
- Plugin configuration across Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, and Defender Threat Intelligence, plus any supported non-Microsoft plugins your estate needs.
- A promptbook library built for your environment: incident summarization, reverse-engineering of scripts found on endpoints, KQL generation for your table schema, and an executive incident brief your CISO can forward without editing.
- Analyst enablement across two live workshops with your own incidents, plus a measurement baseline so the effect on time per incident is evidenced rather than asserted.
Outcomes our customers see
A 12-analyst SOC cut average analyst time per incident from 41 minutes to 19 minutes, a 54 percent reduction, over 90 days. Promptbook-generated executive briefs removed roughly 6 hours per week of senior analyst writing time. SCU sizing at a 3,000-seat customer avoided an over-provision that would have cost 38 percent more than actual consumption in year one.
How this compares
Most Security Copilot projects stop at provisioning and a demo, and consumption flatlines because analysts have no prompts for their own data. This engagement is built around the promptbook library and a measured before-and-after on time per incident, so the renewal conversation has a number in it. Compared with a generic AI-enablement workshop, everything here is grounded in your Sentinel table schema and your real incidents.
Architecture and Microsoft alignment
Microsoft Security Copilot is provisioned in your tenant against a Security Compute Unit capacity in a chosen Azure region. It reads through first-party plugins into Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Purview, and Defender Threat Intelligence. Promptbooks are stored in your tenant and version-controlled. Role assignment follows the Security Copilot owner and contributor model mapped to your existing Entra ID security groups. Aligned to the Microsoft solution plays Modern SecOps with Unified Platform and Copilot and Agents at Work.
Plans
Plans, prices, and full scope per plan are on the Plans tab of this listing.
Prerequisites
An existing Microsoft Sentinel workspace and Defender XDR deployment with at least 60 days of telemetry, an Azure subscription able to provision Security Compute Units, and Global Administrator plus Security Administrator consent. A named SOC lead must be available for both enablement workshops.
Limitations
This engagement deploys and enables Security Copilot; it does not include ongoing SCU consumption, which is billed by Microsoft directly. Custom plugin development against non-Microsoft security tools is scoped separately. Security Copilot regional availability may constrain where capacity can be provisioned, and that is confirmed during scoping rather than assumed.
