Signals are fragmented
Identity, access, application and credential events sit in different systems and schemas.
MAITS identity and security observability
See identity risk.
Act with context.
Specialist monitoring, detection and response for identity systems, delegated access, digital credentials and the applications they protect.

The leadership issue
Most organisations have logs.
Fewer have operational assurance.
Alerts lack context
Teams receive technical conditions without the authority, resource or business impact needed to act.
Blind spots persist
Custom applications and delegated administration may sit outside standard SOC integrations.
Response varies
Ownership, escalation, containment and evidence can be reconstructed differently every time.
Operating model
From source signal to governed response—and measurable learning.
Vigilance connects collection, context and action. It does not equate more telemetry with better control, or an alert with an owned incident.
What changes
Shorten the path from change to accountable action.
Correlate identity, privilege, authority and application events across control boundaries.
Enrich signals with identity, resource, delegation and business ownership.
Assign severity, ownership, investigation and proportionate containment.
Report coverage, recurring patterns, response evidence and unresolved control gaps.
Microsoft Sentinel
A major platform for identity-centred monitoring.
MAITS can bring Microsoft Entra signals, directory events, access changes, application telemetry, custom systems and credential lifecycle events into Sentinel.
Normalisation and identity context make correlation possible; analytics, incidents and runbooks create an operational path. Sentinel is a key implementation platform—not a mandatory choice for every engagement.
Explore the Sentinel model →Custom connectors
Observe the systems standard integrations miss.
These are implementation patterns, not a claim that each connector already exists. MAITS confirms the source interface, security model and operational requirements before building an integration.
Understand connector engineering →Potential detection patterns
Detect changes that alter trust or authority.
Unexpected administrator assignment
Unusual identity recovery
Authority outside expected scope
Issuance or revocation anomaly
Abnormal administration activity
Excessive access change
Examples are candidate analytics, not prebuilt or guaranteed detections.
Explore detection design →Alert ≠ incident
An alert describes a condition. An incident owns the response.
Runbooks can enrich, notify, ticket or act automatically. High-impact response can retain human approval.
Explore incident operations →Managed service
Maintain observability as the environment changes.
Signals and connectors
Assess sources, implement ingestion and maintain monitoring coverage.
Analytics and tuning
Map detections to risk, test them and refine with operational evidence.
Incidents and runbooks
Structure ownership, investigation, escalation and proportionate action.
Executive assurance
Explain high-risk events, control gaps, recurring patterns and unresolved exceptions.
MAITS product family
Evidence. Authority. Assurance.
What evidence can this person or organisation prove?
Who is authorised to act, where and for how long?
How do we know when trust or access is at risk?
Frequently asked questions
Monitoring claims, kept precise.
Is Vigilance a generic SOC service?
No. Vigilance is specialist monitoring and operational assurance for identity, access, applications and digital trust. No 24x7 SOC capability or fixed SLA is implied.
Is Microsoft Sentinel required?
No. Sentinel is a major MAITS implementation platform, but the monitoring platform is selected for the organisation and engagement.
Are the listed detections prebuilt?
No. They are candidate detection patterns. Each requires available telemetry, implementation, testing, tuning and an owned response.
Does credential monitoring require credential contents?
Not necessarily. Useful operational signals can cover issuance, verification, status, revocation, configuration and service health without collecting complete credential contents.
Next step
Start with the risks you cannot currently see.
Bring the identity systems, critical actions, current telemetry and response ownership. MAITS can map the observability gaps.
