Service Overview
Most organisations already pay for Microsoft security tools as part of their M365 or Azure subscriptions - but very few are using them effectively. Licences get activated without proper configuration, Sentinel workspaces sit unconfigured, and Defender policies are left at default. The result is a significant capability gap that attackers actively exploit.
Rutters helps organisations close that gap. We assess what you have, design the right configuration for your environment, implement it correctly, and make sure your teams understand how to operate it day-to-day. We focus on practical outcomes rather than product showcase - every configuration decision is driven by your actual threat profile.

Technology Coverage
We work across the full Microsoft security portfolio. Each product requires careful configuration to deliver value - we make sure yours does.
Enterprise endpoint detection and response with vulnerability management, attack surface reduction, and automated investigation across all managed devices.
Advanced email threat protection covering phishing, business email compromise, malicious attachments, and safe links across the M365 collaboration suite.
Monitors on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD for identity-based threats - lateral movement, privilege escalation, and compromised credentials.
Cloud-native SIEM and SOAR platform. We design analytics rules, build hunting queries, configure automation playbooks, and tune signal-to-noise for your environment.
Identity and access management foundation - Conditional Access policies, MFA enforcement, Privileged Identity Management, and identity governance at scale.
Data governance, classification, and compliance - including DLP policy deployment, sensitivity labelling, and information barriers for regulated industries.
Mobile device and application management - device compliance policies, configuration profiles, app protection, and integration with Conditional Access for zero-trust access control.
Cloud access security broker covering shadow IT discovery, SaaS application risk assessment, session controls, and anomaly detection across cloud services.
What We Strengthen
Each capability area is supported by one or more Microsoft security products, configured and tuned by our team.
Conditional Access, MFA, PIM, and identity risk policies that prevent account compromise and enforce least-privilege access across users and workloads.
Device protection, EDR, attack surface reduction rules, and compliance enforcement ensuring every managed endpoint meets your security baseline.
Azure security posture management, cloud workload protection, and SaaS risk controls that extend your security programme into cloud-hosted environments.
Sentinel analytics rules, KQL hunting queries, and SOAR playbooks that surface genuine threats across your environment in near real-time.
Anti-phishing policies, safe attachments, safe links, and DMARC/DKIM/SPF configuration that reduce the risk of email-borne attacks reaching your workforce.
Purview classification, sensitivity labels, and DLP policies that prevent sensitive data from leaving the organisation through unapproved channels.
Compliance Manager assessments, audit log retention, and regulatory reporting configured for GDPR, ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, and PCI DSS requirements.
Dashboards, alerts, and reports that give your security and IT operations teams continuous visibility into their Microsoft environment's health and threat status.
Why It Matters
Properly configured Microsoft security tools deliver measurable improvements across visibility, response, and compliance.
Unified dashboards across Defender, Sentinel, and Entra give your team a single, accurate view of security posture - replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
Automated investigation, SOAR playbooks, and pre-built response actions compress the time from alert to containment - critical when incidents are live.
Entra ID, Intune, and Conditional Access lay the technical foundation for a Zero Trust architecture - verifying every user, device, and request before granting access.
A consolidated Microsoft security stack eliminates tool sprawl - reducing licensing complexity, lowering operational overhead, and simplifying your security architecture.
Purview and Compliance Manager simplify audit preparation for ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 - with evidence collection and reporting built into the platform.
Correct configuration removes the common attack paths exploited in Microsoft environments - misconfigured Conditional Access, over-privileged accounts, and unprotected workloads.
How We Work
Every engagement follows a structured five-phase process. We do not drop in, configure, and leave - we make sure your team can operate what we build, and we stay close during and after implementation.
Every phase has defined deliverables, clear acceptance criteria, and a named consultant accountable for the output.
Request a ProposalPhase One
Audit your current Microsoft licence entitlements, active workloads, security configuration, and Secure Score baseline. Identify gaps and prioritise improvements based on your threat profile.
Phase Two
Design a security configuration blueprint - covering Defender policies, Sentinel workspace, Entra ID governance model, Purview data classification, and Intune compliance baseline.
Phase Three
Hands-on deployment and configuration of agreed products - using phased rollout to minimise business disruption, with testing at each stage before broader deployment.
Phase Four
Fine-tune detection rules, Conditional Access policies, and DLP configurations based on observed activity in your environment. Reduce false positives and improve signal fidelity.
Phase Five
Ongoing advisory, configuration reviews, and response to Microsoft platform updates on a retainer basis - ensuring your security posture keeps pace with a changing threat landscape.
