Microsoft Sentinel bills for every gigabyte you ingest. Most of it sits at the premium analytics rate serving detections that never touch it. We prove which data earns its keep, and cut the rest without losing a single detection.
A short, no-cost call confirms fit. We measure against your own data before we quote a number.
Every new source, every new agent, every new log type adds to the monthly invoice. Almost none of it is questioned, because questioning it feels like questioning your own security.
Analytics-tier data is priced for searching and alerting. Most tables are never queried by a detection at all. You are paying the fast rate for data that simply sits there.
Trimming a table means someone has to prove no detection depends on it. Without that proof the safe answer is always to keep paying, so the bill never comes down.
The usual advice is to drop noisy sources or sample them. Do that without knowing which events feed which rule and you silently break detections. The saving shows up on the invoice; the gap shows up during an incident.
Cost and coverage are usually treated as a trade. Finance wants the bill down, the security team wants everything kept, and the argument stalls because neither side has the evidence to settle it. That evidence is the actual deliverable here.
We never trade coverage for cost. Detecting the attack scenarios that matter to you is the deliverable; the lower bill is a by-product of knowing exactly which events your detections depend on.
Table by table, in your own environment, with the cost drivers named rather than estimated.
We identify the exact events each detection depends on, so nothing a rule needs is ever tiered down, filtered or sampled away.
Every change ordered by what it saves against what it costs to do, so you can stop wherever the return stops making sense.
Splitting a table so the full data lands in cheap storage while the detection slice keeps working. Stripping the one heavy column that dominates a busy table. The events survive; the premium rate does not.
The review changes nothing in your workspace. You see the ranked plan first, and you choose whether to make the changes yourself or have us do them for you.
Outcomes from real engagements, anonymised. Every figure is measured against a client's own data before we quote it.
A single high-volume table held over 275 million events in a month, of which just 161 drove the detections that used it. We moved the rest to a lower-cost tier, cutting the bill without touching a single event. That is the method: find the fraction of your data that earns its place in the analytics tier, and stop paying a premium to store the rest.
A recent engagement, anonymised. We sent only the events that actually drive the enabled detection rules to the premium analytics tier, and moved everything else to low-cost storage.
One of the six reduced by only 15%, because its detection rules genuinely used the data. We left it alone. That is the method working rather than failing: the rules decide what stays, so a table that earns its place keeps it.
Measured on a live engagement and anonymised. These are first-reading figures taken on a weekday-only average, which is the busiest part of the week, so the final measured saving is expected to be higher rather than lower. We quote what we have measured, not what we hope for.
The saving is a percentage of your ingestion bill, so the higher your volume the more it returns in absolute terms. Move the slider to see the range we measure in practice.
This is an illustration, not a quote. It applies the range we have measured on other estates to a number you typed in. Your actual saving is measured against your own data before we quote anything, so the figure you get is yours rather than a model.
We analyse your ingestion table by table and map every detection to the events it actually depends on. Read-only throughout, and nothing changes in your workspace.
You get an ordered set of changes with the saving and the effort against each, plus the evidence behind every recommendation so your security team can challenge it.
Make the changes yourself, or have us do them. Either way we confirm coverage is intact with a measured before and after.
Tell us what you run and we will come back to arrange a short, no-cost call. If we do not think we can save you money, we will tell you that too.
We will come back to you within one working day to arrange a short call.
A short call is enough to tell whether there is money to find in your estate. If there is not, we will say so.
