Cybersecurity & risk management services overview

Exquitech cybersecurity risk management services find, fix and watch the risks in your Microsoft estate. We deploy and run Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Entra and Intune, build Zero Trust access and monitor threats 24/7, aligned to Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0 and NCA ECC.

Our layered frameworks protect, detect and respond to threats across cloud and hybrid environments, following the roadmap our cybersecurity consulting team sets with you.

Microsoft Sentinel is changing too. After March 31, 2027 it will only run in the Microsoft Defender portal. We plan and run that move, so your detections, playbooks and data connectors keep working the day Azure portal support ends.

Background

What our cybersecurity risk management covers

Design Zero Trust security architectures for Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid estates, mapped to Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF 2.0


Set secure baselines with Microsoft Secure Score and Defender for Cloud, then track them every month

Harden Azure and AWS workloads with Microsoft Defender for Cloud posture management and workload protection


Enforce cloud controls aligned to NIST SP 800-53 and ISO/IEC 27017

Apply encryption, backup and recovery to keep sensitive data safe and restorable


Meet GDPR, UAE PDPL and Saudi PDPL with controls you can evidence


Use Microsoft Purview to:

  • Classify and label files and emails
  • Control sensitive data sharing with data loss prevention
  • Prevent leaks with information barriers
  • Assess data risk, including in AI tools, with Data Security Posture Management

Monitor, detect and respond to threats 24/7 with Microsoft Sentinel as your SIEM, unified with Defender XDR in the Microsoft Defender portal


Build analytics rules, automation and playbooks that cut alert noise and speed up response


Move Sentinel to the Defender portal before Azure portal support ends on March 31, 2027

Enforce MFA, Conditional Access and least privilege with Microsoft Entra


Remove standing admin rights with Privileged Identity Management


Give AI agents governed identities with Microsoft Entra Agent ID

Protect laptops, desktops and mobile devices with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint


Use Microsoft Intune to enforce compliance and device health


Protect corporate and personal devices without slowing people down

Build security into the software lifecycle with DevSecOps, OWASP and ISO/IEC 27034


Run secure code reviews to find and fix vulnerabilities before release

Run vulnerability assessments (NIST SP 800-115) and configuration reviews (ISO/IEC 27001)


Arrange independent penetration testing to find weaknesses before attackers do


Hunt threats with threat intelligence (ISO/IEC 27035)


Build and test incident response plans (NIST SP 800-61)

Protect AI systems and agents from prompt injection and data leakage, aligned to NIST AI RMF


Find shadow AI and govern agents with Microsoft Agent 365, Defender and Purview


Use Security Copilot, included with Microsoft 365 E5 and E7, to speed up triage and investigation

Run risk assessments that set your security priorities (ISO/IEC 27005)


Monitor compliance with GDPR, NCA ECC and your industry standards


Build business continuity plans that keep you running during and after an incident (ISO 22301)

Customer challenges

Exquitech cyber risk management clients face the same ten threats.

  • AI powered attacks

    Attackers use AI for convincing phishing, fast changing malware and deepfake voice fraud on your staff.

  • Supply chain
    risk

    Breaches now start at suppliers and software vendors that hold access to your systems and your data.

  • Ransomware

    Ransomware gangs steal data before they encrypt it, then extort you twice, even if backups restore.

  • Skills shortage

    Few firms can hire enough security staff to watch alerts all day and keep up with every new threat.

  • Many regulators

    GDPR, NCA ECC, UAE IA and Cyber Essentials overlap, and each one expects its own evidence trail.

  • Cloud gaps

    Misconfigured storage, open ports and weak identities in Azure and AWS remain the easiest way in.

  • Remote work

    Home networks and personal devices widen the attack surface for every person who works remotely.

  • IoT and OT risk

    Connected sensors, cameras and plant systems add devices that rarely get patched or even monitored.

  • Zero day
    exploits

    New vulnerabilities are exploited within days of disclosure, often before your patch cycle runs.

  • Slow recovery

    Untested backups and response plans turn a short incident into days of downtime and lost revenue.

  • Our cybersecurity risk management services address all ten, and more.

    Background

    How our cybersecurity risk management works

    Four proven steps take you from risk assessment to controls that run every day.

    Plan

    We agree your risk appetite, priorities and regulators with leadership, then shape a security program and the Microsoft tools to deliver it.

    Implement

    We deploy Sentinel, Defender, Entra, Intune and Purview in waves, with staff training and process changes so the controls stick.

    Assess

    We run risk assessments and maturity ratings across identity, data, endpoints and cloud, record every gap and rank the fixes by risk.

    Operate

    We monitor threats and controls 24/7, tune detections and report risk every quarter as threats and regulations change.

    Customer benefits

    Exquitech cybersecurity risk management clients finish with eight measurable gains.

    • Stronger security posture

      Controls built on Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and NIST close the gaps attackers use most often.

    • Regulatory confidence

      Evidence for GDPR, NCA ECC and UAE IA comes from the same controls, ready whenever auditors ask.

    • Protected data

      Encryption, labels, DLP and tested backups keep sensitive data private and restorable after attack.

    • Faster detection

      Sentinel and Defender XDR correlate signals across identity, email, endpoint and cloud in one place.

    • Business continuity

      Continuity plans and rehearsed recovery keep operations running during and after a cyber incident.

    • Risk you can rank

      Risk assessments and vulnerability data rank every issue, so budget goes to the biggest risks first.

    • Secure by design

      Security built into DevSecOps and code reviews stops vulnerabilities before software reaches users.

    • AI you can trust

      AI agents and Copilot get identities, data limits and monitoring before they touch sensitive data.
