Protect Your Data, Reputation, and Business

Security

Security worry takes two familiar shapes: the fear that a breach is one misconfiguration away, and the quiet knowledge that engineers are routing around controls just to ship. We build zero trust on the Microsoft stack that closes real attack paths without slowing delivery, so neither worry keeps you up.

Cloud Security That Assumes the Worst, Calmly

Cloud security fails in two familiar ways: the estate nobody hardened because delivery was urgent, and the estate so locked down that engineers route around it. The craft is a posture that assumes breach, contains blast radius and still lets teams ship, which is what zero trust means once the marketing is boiled off.

We build on the Microsoft security stack because on Azure it is the deepest option: Defender for Cloud for posture and workload protection, Sentinel for detection and response, Entra ID for identity as the new perimeter, and Key Vault, Firewall and DDoS Protection as the layered infrastructure defences. Synapx holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Security, alongside Cyber Essentials Plus certification of our own house.

Most engagements start with a baseline: your posture scored against Microsoft benchmarks, findings ranked by exploitability and effort, and a remediation plan with costs rather than adjectives. Fear-based security reports are easy to write and useless to act on; we write the other kind.

Security then gets engineered into the way work ships: policy as code in the landing zone, scanning gates in CI/CD, secrets in Key Vault with managed identities, and drills that prove recovery actually works. The estates our data and AI practices build inherit all of it, which is precisely the point.

What We Deliver

Key capabilities

Incident Management & Disaster Recovery

Incident response and disaster recovery planning that gets rehearsed, not filed, so a security event triggers a practised procedure rather than an improvisation.

  • Response runbooks written before the bad day, not during it
  • Recovery objectives agreed with the business, then tested
  • Backup and failover drills that prove the plan works
  • Post-incident reviews that fix causes, not blame

Unified Detection & Response

Defender XDR and Sentinel configured as one detection and response capability, so a threat gets spotted once, triaged once and acted on in coordination rather than across silos.

Azure Security Infrastructure

Key Vault, DDoS Protection, Azure Firewall and confidential computing arranged as layered defences, so no single control failing leaves the estate open.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Continuous posture management and workload protection across your Azure estate, with hardware-backed key security through integrated HSM where regulation demands it.

Offensive Security & GenAI Monitoring

Assessments that find your vulnerabilities the way an attacker would, plus GenAI-powered monitoring that separates genuine threats from alert noise in real time.

Common Use Cases

Where Security earns its keep

Microsoft Defender rollout

Deploy and tune Defender for Cloud, Defender XDR and Sentinel to give unified visibility and response across your estate.

Zero Trust implementation

Move from perimeter-based thinking to Zero Trust across identity, device, network and data layers using Entra, Intune and Purview.

Cloud security posture management

Continuously assess Azure and multi-cloud resources against CIS, NIST and internal benchmarks, and remediate drift automatically.

Identity and access hardening

Close the most common attack paths, privileged accounts, legacy auth, service principals, with Entra ID, Conditional Access and PIM.

Incident response and recovery

Build and rehearse incident response runbooks and disaster-recovery playbooks so your organisation is ready when, not if, something goes wrong.

Security for AI and data platforms

Apply AI-specific controls, prompt logging, content filters, data classification, customer-managed keys, to AI Foundry, Copilot and Fabric estates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are you a Microsoft Security specialist?

Yes. Synapx holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Security, alongside Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification. Our security engineers are certified on Defender, Sentinel, Entra and Purview.

How long does a security baseline take?

An initial posture assessment and prioritised remediation plan typically takes 3–5 weeks. Implementing the top-priority controls and reaching a defensible baseline usually runs another 6–12 weeks after that.

Can you run security operations for us?

Yes. We offer managed detection and response on top of Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, with 24/7 coverage, threat hunting, incident response and continuous posture management.

How do you approach Zero Trust in practice?

We prioritise the highest-risk attack paths first – privileged identity, legacy auth, device compliance, sensitive data – rather than trying to boil the ocean. We deliver Zero Trust in iterative releases tied to measurable risk reduction.

Do you cover AI and Copilot security?

Yes. We include AI-specific controls in every engagement: Copilot permissions hygiene, Purview classification, prompt / response logging, content filters, DLP, and tenant configuration for safe generative AI use.

Is this suitable for regulated industries?

Yes. We work with financial services, healthcare and public sector clients to align Azure security with FCA, PRA, ICO, NHS DSPT and sector-specific requirements, and produce the evidence regulators expect.
