Microsoft Sentinel Operations Baseline

Microsoft Sentinel baseline for data connectors, analytics rules, workbooks, and incident workflow.

Purpose

Set up a lean Microsoft Sentinel operating baseline for meaningful detection and incident review.

Customer context

The customer had security logs available but needed a clearer model for detection ownership and triage.

Scope

  • Connector and workspace review
  • Analytics rule selection
  • Workbook and incident workflow guidance
  • Cost and retention considerations

Delivery approach

The baseline prioritized high-signal detections and operator clarity over excessive rule volume.

Outcome

Security teams gained a simpler starting point for monitoring and response.

Evidence of delivery

Connector inventory, rule backlog, and operations notes were handed over.
