- Sentinel + Defender XDR
Your Microsoft security licenses are likely underperforming.
Most organizations with Microsoft security licenses aren't getting real value from them. Sentinel sits undeployed or poorly configured. Defender alerts pile up without review. Internal security teams are stretched thin, threat intelligence is limited, and no one has a clear picture of the organization's security posture.
A traditional proof of concept takes months to scope and costs money before anything actually runs. You need a faster, lower-risk way to see what real managed security coverage looks like inside your own environment.
Two phases. Fully operational from day one.
Phase 1 · Days 1–14 · Deploy & Monitor
- Sentinel deployed with MITRE ATT&CK rules active
- Defender XDR and correlation live
- Cyber Threat Intelligence as a Service (CTIaaS) on every alert
- Agentic AI triage and incident prioritization
Outcome: Live SOC coverage with tuned detections and active threat intelligence.
Phase 2 · Days 15–30 · Tune, Hunt & Report
- Log ingestion onboarded and cost-optimized
- Detection rules tuned to your environment
- Active threat hunts run against your data
- Visibility gaps and blind spots identified
- Risk-based remediation guidance delivered
- Board-ready findings report and roadmap
Outcome: An actionable roadmap and a clear case for continued security investment.
A real SOC, live in your environment for 30 days.
Find your actual blind spots
Most security assessments describe gaps in the abstract. This one shows you, in your own environment, with live data, in 30 days rather than a six-month engagement.
Your team learns alongside ours
Weekly operations meetings and hands-on walkthroughs mean your analysts leave the trial with a stronger understanding of their environment than when they started, regardless of what you decide at the end.
The trial does real security work
This is not a guided tour. Detections are tuned to your environment and threats are triaged in real time. If a security event happens during the 30 days, the Ascent SOC is already working it.
Zero upfront cost, zero lock-in
There's no contract to sign before the trial starts and no obligation when it ends. The findings, the tuning, and the knowledge transfer stay with you either way.
A fully operational SOC, not a report.
The free trial puts a fully operational SOC inside your environment in days, not months. You keep the findings no matter what you decide at the end.

How This Is Different
Most MDR vendors require a 12-month contract, a paid proof of concept, or both before you see any real coverage. The Ascent trial removes both barriers. You get a working SOC before signing anything, with live operational value instead of just a report.
