Security Workshop
The Microsoft Security Workshop will help improve your security posture as you continue to manage an ever-increasing volume and complexity of identities, data, applications, devices, and infrastructure. Through the security workshop, Trustmarque can help you learn how to immediately start to secure your organisation and mitigate and protect against potential future threats.

Azure Sentinel
The Azure Sentinel module is an add-on to the Security Workshop.

The Azure Sentinel add-on module will give you:
- An overview the features, capabilities and benefits of Azure Sentinel
- Visibilty of any potential threats found during the engagement and help you prioritise and mitigate them
- A demonstration of how Azure Sentinel can be delivered as part of a managed security service
- A defined and actionable set next steps based on your needs and objectives.
Compliance Workshop: Data Risk Management
Protecting your organisation information wherever it resides is critical to fulfilling regulation obligations and meeting compliance requirements. However, you need to know exactly what data you have, its volume, where it is, how it’s being used, who uses it, and what compliance risks that may exist.
The Compliance Workshop: Data Risk Management will give you the insights you need to better discover, protect, and govern your corporate data, and will provide you with a:
- Data Risk Check report that includes findings and insights
- A list of recommendations and actionable next steps that will help mitigate any identified compliance risks
- Detailed assessment of your strategic objectives, influences, and priorities for compliance
- Hands-on opportunity to experience what integrated compliance looks like, including the latest tools and methods
- Set of long-term recommendations for your compliance strategy
Data Risk Check uncovers data that can cause a compliance risk
Data Risk Check is the core activity of the Compliance Workshop Data Risk Management. To ensure comprehensive results, the activity is spread out over several weeks to allow time to run on top of your cloud infrastructure and surface compliance risks in organisational data.
The Data Risk Check uses automated Microsoft 365 tools and services to discover where data stored in the Microsoft Cloud and identify any potential problem areas, such as:
- Sensitive information and intellectual property
- Unused or long-term dormant data
- Risky or suspicious activities
Identity Workshop
With increased remote working, the use of personal devices and cloud apps, such as those contained in Microsoft 365, your organisation’s data is no longer centralised. This can leave you vulnerable to identity attacks and data breaches. The foundation of cybersecurity is to identify your legitimate users and give them proper access to the information and tools they need to do their job, while keeping out malicious persons or criminals.
Identity attacks can manifest themselves as suspicious user and sign-in behavior in your environment or constant suspicious requests. This Identity Workshop will help you find and identity risks happening in your environment, give you insights on your application landscape, and improve your identity security posture.
This workshop will help you:
- Understand your identity goals and objectives
- Define your existing and desired identity security posture
- Provide insights into applications used within your environment (sanctioned and unsanctioned by IT)
- Showcase core IT and user security scenarios
- Develop a joint action plan based key results, recommendations, and next steps
