Microsoft MSSP for
the estate you already pay for.
You are already licensed for Microsoft security. We switch it on, tune it, and watch it around the clock, with senior analysts signing off every decision that reaches you. No rip and replace.
What is a Microsoft MSSP?
A Microsoft MSSP is a managed security service provider that runs your security operations on Microsoft tooling you already license, rather than on a separate stack you buy and maintain alongside it. Wizard Cyber is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and has run Microsoft Sentinel for customers since 2019.
Run it for you, fix it with you,
or show you first.
Most people arrive here paying for Microsoft security licensing they are not fully using. Where you start depends on how much of it you want to own.
Managed SOC for Microsoft estates
We watch your Microsoft estate around the clock and hand you a verdict with the evidence attached, not an alert to work out for yourself. Senior analysts sign off before anything reaches you.

The SIEM at the centre of your Microsoft estate, operated as a service. Connectors, detections, tuning and the 24/7 queue, with an L1 verdict in 3m 30s and a senior analyst signing it.

Microsoft security licensing bundles a great deal of capability. Very little of it switches itself on.
The pattern we see most often is not an estate with gaps in what it owns. It is an estate where the licensing already covers identity protection, data classification, endpoint detection and a SIEM, and where a good half of it has never been turned on, tuned, or pointed at anyone who reads the output. The alerts fire into a console nobody has open.
That happens for an ordinary reason. Switching Microsoft security on properly is a project, and the person who owns it usually owns eight other things as well. Defaults get left in place because changing them without knowing the blast radius is a risk, and the estate quietly drifts away from the licence you are paying for.
So the first question we ask is not what you want to buy. It is what you already own. A Microsoft-funded workshop answers it at no cost to you, and you keep the findings whether or not anything follows.
Managed Microsoft Sentinel, with the triage already done.
Most managed security sends you an alert with a severity label on it. That is not the difficult part of the job.
We have run Microsoft Sentinel for customers since 2019. Over those years our analysts wrote the triage and escalation procedures that our own platform, CYBERSHIELD AI, now executes: a roster of agent roles drawing on more than 250 agent skills and 300 AI tools, working an alert through a nine-stage investigation rather than sorting it into a queue.
One stage of that pipeline matters more than the rest, and it is the honest answer to what an automated SOC will miss. Before an investigation closes, a completeness gate audits it for evidence gaps, generates the additional steps needed to fill them, runs those, and reassesses. It is what stops an investigation settling on the first plausible explanation.
What you receive is a verdict with the evidence attached. Where the L1 triage agent can close it, that verdict averages three minutes thirty. Where it escalates to L2 investigation, seven minutes fifty. A senior analyst reviews and signs off before any of it reaches you, and that sign-off is the default on the managed service rather than an upgrade.
Your data stays in your tenant. There is no cross-customer learning, and no other customer’s data shapes your detections.
Consultancy that hands the estate back documented.
Design, deployment and tuning across Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Entra ID and Purview.
Sometimes the answer is not a managed service. If you have the people and want to keep the work in-house, we will design it, deploy it, tune it and hand it back, with the configuration written down so your team can run it without us.
That covers connecting the data sources worth connecting rather than all of them, writing detections that fit your estate instead of importing a generic rule pack, setting conditional access and identity protection to something defensible, and cutting the ingest you are paying to store and never query.
There is no rip and replace. We work inside the licensing you already hold, and where it genuinely does not cover something we will tell you that rather than sell around it.
- Connect the data sources worth connecting, not all of them
- Detections written for your estate, not an imported rule pack
- Conditional access and identity protection set to something defensible
- Ingest cost cut where you are storing data you never query
- Configuration documented so your team can run it without us
Why an MSSP rather than hiring for it.
Covering nights and weekends is a rota problem before it is a skills problem.
Hiring for it
- Enough people to staff a rota, not one specialist
- Holiday, sickness and attrition all have to be absorbed
- Recruiting into a skills market you are competing in
- Cost steps up in whole headcount
- An on-call rota your team did not sign up for
Handing it over
- 24/7 manned SOC from day one
- Senior analyst sign-off as the default, not an upgrade
- You keep the estate, the licensing and the policy
- Cost scales with the estate, in three packages
- You decide how much of the response runs without you
Round-the-clock cover is not one hire. It is enough people to staff a rota with holiday, sickness and attrition absorbed, all of them competent in a specialism that is expensive and hard to retain. Most IT teams that try to build it end up with an on-call rota instead, carried by people who did not sign up for one and will eventually leave over it.
The alternative is not giving up control. You keep the estate, the licensing and the policy. What you hand over is the queue, the night shift and the specialist depth behind it, and you decide how much of the response runs without you.
It also changes the shape of the cost. Instead of headcount that scales in whole people, you get coverage that scales with the estate, and three packages to fit where you actually are: Core, Complete and Command.

Microsoft MSSP, answered.
What is a Microsoft MSSP?
A Microsoft MSSP is a managed security service provider that runs your security operations on Microsoft tooling you already license, rather than on a separate stack you have to buy and maintain alongside it. That means Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR and Entra ID, monitored and tuned by an external team.
Why use a Microsoft MSSP instead of running it in-house?
Covering nights and weekends properly takes a rota, not a person, and most IT teams cannot staff one without hiring. An MSSP gives you round-the-clock coverage and specialist Microsoft experience without the headcount, and without your own team carrying an on-call rota nobody wants.
What makes Wizard Cyber different from other Microsoft MSSPs?
We have run Microsoft Sentinel for customers since 2019, and CYBERSHIELD AI executes the triage and escalation procedures our own analysts wrote over those years. You get a verdict with the evidence behind it rather than a forwarded alert, and a senior analyst signs off every customer-facing decision.
Is Wizard Cyber certified by Microsoft?
Yes. Wizard Cyber is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, holding all four security specialisms: Cloud Security, Identity and Access Management, Threat Protection and Data Security.
Will you replace the Microsoft tools we already have?
No. There is no rip and replace. We work inside the estate you already license, which usually means switching on and tuning capability you are paying for but not using. Where a licence genuinely does not cover something, we tell you that rather than sell around it.
Do you provide 24/7 security monitoring?
Yes. Our SOC is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and the agents run continuously alongside it. Coverage does not drop at night or over a bank holiday, which is when most of the incidents we handle actually start.
How do you detect and respond to threats?
Signals from your Microsoft estate are triaged, then investigated through a nine-stage pipeline that includes a completeness gate: before an investigation closes, it is audited for evidence gaps, the missing steps are run, and it is reassessed. You decide how much of the response runs without you.
What is involved in a Microsoft-funded workshop?
Microsoft funds six structured engagements, delivered by us at no cost to you. Each one looks at a specific part of your estate, shows you what is actually happening in it, and ends with findings you keep whether or not you buy anything further.

already paying for.
