Microsoft Security

Get the Microsoft security you pay for

evoila deploys and tunes the full Microsoft security stack, from Defender and Entra to Sentinel and Purview, so your licenses turn into real protection.

Your Microsoft licenses include more security than you use

Most organisations already own powerful Microsoft security tools through their Microsoft 365 and Azure licenses. They use only a fraction of them. The capability is there. The configuration, integration, and operation are not.

evoila closes that gap. We deploy and tune Defender, Entra, Purview, and Intune in your environment and build your security monitoring on Microsoft Sentinel. As a Microsoft Solution Partner for Security with the Cloud Security specialisation, we turn the capabilities you already own into real protection.

Business benefits:

  • More protection from licenses you already hold, without buying new tools
  • An integrated Microsoft stack instead of disconnected, half-configured features
  • A clear path to security operations built on Microsoft Sentinel

The security controls you own but are not using

Running Microsoft 365 E5 like E3 is one of the most common and most avoidable security gaps. Attackers exploit exactly the gaps that an unused Conditional Access policy or an inactive Defender feature would have closed.

The Challenge

Paying for protection you never enabled

Microsoft 365 E5 and Azure include a full security stack across endpoints, identity, email and data. That includes Defender, Entra, Purview and Sentinel.
Most environments never activate or tune these features properly. Teams enable baseline protection, leave advanced capabilities untouched and end up running disconnected tools instead of a coordinated system.

Licenses bought, features idle

Your E5 subscription includes Defender, Entra, Purview and Sentinel. Most of the advanced features were never activated after onboarding.

Tools configured in isolation

Defender, Entra and Purview are managed separately. The gaps between them are where attackers move.

No central monitoring

Signals from Microsoft tools are generated but never correlated. Without Sentinel in place, an identity alert and an endpoint alert stay two disconnected tickets.

Spend on tools you already own

New security products get purchased to cover gaps that Defender or Purview already address, if properly configured. The budget leaves before the problem is solved.

The good news: The tools are already there

You do not need to buy your way to better security. You need to configure what you already own.

Our Solution

Make the Microsoft stack work as one


evoila turns your Microsoft licenses into a working security platform. We assess what you own and what is active, then deploy and tune each component so they reinforce each other.
Where monitoring is required, we build it on Microsoft Sentinel and connect it to operations through our managed services if needed. Our services include:

Microsoft Defender XDR

Deploying and tuning Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Office 365, and Cloud Apps as one coordinated defense

Microsoft Entra

Identity security, Conditional Access, and identity threat detection and response

Microsoft Purview

Data classification, data loss prevention, and information protection

Microsoft Intune

Device management and compliance as part of your security baseline

Microsoft Sentinel

Building your SIEM and security operations, with detection rules tuned to your environment

As evoila is a Microsoft Solution Partner for Security with a specialisation in cloud security, and as we operate a Security Operations Centre (SOC), the monitoring we build on Sentinel can flow straight into 24/7 detection and response.

Tech-Deep-Dive

One platform, properly integrated

The value of the Microsoft security stack comes from integration. That is where most deployments fail and where evoila focuses.

Defender XDR

We connect Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Office 365, and Cloud Apps so alerts correlate across the kill chain. An identity alert and an endpoint alert become one incident with one timeline, not two tickets in separate queues.

Entra and identity

Identity is the primary attack surface. We implement Conditional Access policies, multi-factor and passwordless authentication, and ITDR to catch account compromise before it escalates. This is typically where we start.

Purview

We configure data classification, sensitivity labels, and data loss prevention so sensitive information stays controlled. For organisations rolling out Microsoft 365 Copilot, Purview is the prerequisite: without it, Copilot surfaces data that was never meant to be shared.

Sentinel

We build Sentinel as your SIEM, ingest Microsoft and third-party log sources, and write detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Automation handles the repetitive work. The result is a security operations foundation our SOC can operate if you want 24/7 coverage.

Compliance

The configured stack produces structured evidence for ISO 27001, NIS2, and IT baseline protection (IT-Grundschutz) requirements as a byproduct of correct configuration, not additional effort.

Technical Advantages

Six Reasons the Stack Performs Better After evoila

1. Licenses fully used

E5 and Azure security features activated and tuned, not left at default or switched off entirely.

2. Correlated detection

Defender signals joined across endpoint, identity ,and email. This means that one incident is reported instead of a series of scattered alerts.

3. Identity hardened

Conditional Access, MFA and ITDR close the top attack vector before it becomes a breach.

4. Data protected

Purview labels and DLP rules guard sensitive information, including from Copilot exposure.

5. SOC-ready monitoring

Sentinel built and connected so monitoring can move directly into 24/7 managed operations without rebuilding.

6. Compliance output included

Correctly configured tools produce audit evidence for ISO 27001 and NIS2 without separate compliance projects.

Your partner of choice

A Microsoft security partner that also operates

evoila holds the Microsoft Solution Partner for Security designation and the Cloud Security specialisation. Our work is validated by Microsoft, not self-declared.

We do not stop at deployment. Because we run a 24/7 SOC, the environment we build can move directly into managed detection and response.
Our engineers configure the Microsoft stack based on how attackers actually operate. This includes insights from our offensive security practice. evoila is ISO 27001 certified, so the result supports both defence and compliance.

Microsoft Solution Partner for Security, Cloud Security specialisation

Our security credentials are validated by Microsoft, not self-declared. The Cloud Security specialisation requires demonstrated technical capability and verified customer outcomes.

24/7 SOC for managed detection and response after deployment

We do not hand over a configured environment and leave. Our SOC can take over monitoring and response directly, without a separate onboarding or rebuild.

Offensive security practice informing defensive configuration

Our engineers know how attackers move through a Microsoft environment. That knowledge shapes how we configure Defender, Entra, and Sentinel, not just what the documentation recommends.

ISO 27001 certified

evoila is ISO 27001 certified. The security stack we build for you is designed and operated under the same standard we are audited against ourselves.

FAQs

Commonly asked questions about Microsoft Security

Often not. E5 includes Defender, Entra, Purview, and Sentinel, which cover most needs once properly configured. We help you activate and tune what you already own, and only recommend additions where a genuine gap remains.

Defender protects specific areas such as endpoints, identity, and email, detecting and responding there. Sentinel is the SIEM that collects and correlates signals across everything, including non-Microsoft sources, and is the basis for a security operations center.

Yes. We build Sentinel as your SIEM, connect your sources, and tune detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Because we also run a 24/7 SOC, we can operate it for you as managed detection and response afterwards.

A posture review takes a couple of weeks; a full implementation across Defender, Entra, Purview, and Sentinel runs over several weeks to a few months depending on scope. We prioritise the highest-impact gaps first so protection improves quickly.

Yes. Microsoft Purview classification and data loss prevention are how you stop sensitive data leaking through Copilot or sharing. We typically recommend setting these up before a Copilot rollout, not after.
