See how your Microsoft Sentinel environment actually performs

Key benefits

After the assessment, security teams see exactly where Sentinel performs well and where targeted changes improve outcomes.

• Expose detection gaps without disrupting operations
• Surface blind spots attackers could exploit
• Quantify alert fatigue and signal quality issues
• Deliver executive-ready findings that support security investment decisions
• Establish a focused, practical path to improve resilience

Key use cases

This assessment targets Sentinel areas that most often create detection gaps and operational risk:

• Security visibility gaps: Identify where critical telemetry is missing or misaligned with real-world attack behaviors.
• Alert fatigue and noise: Determine whether alert volume and patterns may be hiding genuine threats.
• Detection coverage validation: Assess whether key identity, endpoint, email, cloud and network signals are being collected and used effectively.
• Sentinel posture benchmarking: Compare your current environment against a mature Microsoft Sentinel baseline.

Key features

The Free Microsoft Sentinel Visibility & Resilience Check is designed to deliver focused insight and actionable guidance through:

• Microsoft-native telemetry analysis: Review of logs currently collected versus recommended Sentinel telemetry.
• MITRE ATT&CK-aligned coverage mapping: Understand how well detections align to real threat behaviors.
• Alerting gap analysis: Identify noisy areas, missing detections and high-risk visibility gaps.
• Signal-level validation: Review identity, endpoint, email, cloud and network security signals.
• Cost awareness benchmarking: Assess ingestion patterns to balance security value and cost efficiency.

Real-world impact

Organizations leave the assessment with concrete direction and reduced uncertainty:

• Faster identification of high-risk visibility gaps before incidents occur
• Improved understanding of whether Sentinel detections align to modern attack paths
• Reduced guesswork around alert fatigue and detection effectiveness
• Stronger alignment between security teams, IT, and leadership on next steps

What you get

The assessment delivers concise, documented outputs designed for immediate understanding and action:

• A high-level analysis of your Sentinel visibility and resilience posture
• Identification of potential detection blind spots and alerting gaps
• A comparison of existing telemetry against a mature Sentinel baseline
• Strategic recommendations to improve visibility, tuning, and resilience
• An executive summary supported by a technical breakdown

How it works

1. Review current Sentinel telemetry
   We analyze the signals and logs currently collected in your Sentinel environment.
2. Assess detection coverage and alert patterns
   We evaluate alert volume, noise, and alignment to real threat behaviors.
3. Identify gaps and blind spots
   We surface missing or weakened detections across identity, endpoint, email, cloud and network layers.
4. Deliver findings and recommendations
   You receive a clear, high-level snapshot with guidance on improving visibility and resilience.
