End To End Microsoft Security Roadmap | 2 Week Assessment
When customers with challenging environments request help from Microsoft, they call us.
Whether just getting started or already deployed, Difenda can help Microsoft customers decipher the complexities of Microsoft Security and develop tailored guidelines for your company to do more with less. With this comprehensive roadmap, you will discover your organizational threat landscape and gain visibility into your IT environment.
How It Works:
Many businesses have multiple overlapping, and bespoke tools in their security environment and don’t even know where to start when it comes to strengthening their security posture. That is exactly what Difenda’s end-to-end roadmap is for. We help you take a step back and understand your current environment, then plan steps to get to where you want to go.
- Information collection workshop: Difenda will meet with you to collect information about you and the current security infrastructure of your business to assess your current environment.
- Difenda provides a visual of the environment and together we decide on the ideal outcome for security posture.
- Difenda will provide a modular and incremental security map with actionable steps to achieve that goal while maximizing your Microsoft investment.

Discover: Review organization, environment, Microsoft licensing, and existing roadmaps. Develop: Analyze and document the findings from the discovery. Develop the roadmap and related work plans Review & Signoff: Assist with review and approval of roadmap with the senior sponsor(s) Execute: Iteratively execute, monitor, and manage roadmap activities Manage: Difenda Shield suite of managed products: Managed SIEM, Managed EDR, AVM, MDR for IT, and MDR for OT
