An alert describes a condition requiring assessment. An incident is an owned investigation with severity and a response path.Availability depends on the Delegance control surface and monitoring integration implemented for the environment.
01
More logs are not the outcome
Organisations often hold extensive telemetry without a clear model for ownership, correlation or action. Vigilance starts with the risk and control question, then identifies the signals needed to answer it.
02
Identity and access coverage
Potential sources include Microsoft Entra events, directories, privileged access, application administration, entitlement changes, identity recovery, custom systems and external-party activity.
03
Delegance monitoring
A Delegance environment can emit signals for new or high-risk delegation, expiry, revocation, privilege escalation, failed approval patterns, separation-of-duties conflicts and action outside expected scope. Availability depends on the implemented integration.
04
Continuous assurance
Coverage, signal quality, recurring exceptions, unresolved incidents and weakly observed systems become inputs to governance—not merely technical dashboard statistics.
Apply the model
Make the signal actionable.
Start with the risk, available telemetry, accountable owner and proportionate response.
