Technology Partner · XDR & Threat Protection

Microsoft Defender XDR,
monitored by our SOC.

Defender unifies endpoint, email, identity, and cloud-app threat protection into one signal. TruPoint deploys it, tunes the policies, and watches it around the clock from a Canadian SOC — so a detection becomes a contained incident, not a breach.

01 · What it does

One XDR signal across four attack surfaces.

Defender isn't a single antivirus product — it's a coordinated detection-and-response suite that correlates threats across the places your business actually gets attacked.

XDR TELEMETRY · TRUPOINT SOC
/ENDPOINT

Defender for Endpoint

Behaviour-based EDR on every managed device. Stops ransomware pre-execution, isolates compromised endpoints, and feeds the SOC a full attack timeline.

/OFFICE 365

Defender for Office 365

Phishing, business-email-compromise, and malicious-link protection on inbound mail — with safe-attachment detonation and post-delivery clawback.

/IDENTITY

Defender for Identity

Watches Entra ID and on-prem AD for credential theft, lateral movement, and privilege escalation — the moves that turn one stolen login into a breach.

/CLOUD APPS

Defender for Cloud Apps

CASB visibility and control across Microsoft 365 and connected SaaS — risky OAuth grants, anomalous downloads, and shadow IT, surfaced and governed.

02 · How TruPoint deploys it

From licensing to a monitored XDR in four phases.

The same rollout discipline we run on every TruWorkspace deployment — tuned so alerts are actionable, not noise.

01

Discover

Audit existing licensing (E3/E5/Business Premium), current AV, and identity surface. Map what Defender already covers — and what's dark.

02

Design

Attack-surface-reduction rules, ASR baselines, safe-link/safe-attachment policy, and identity alert tuning to your environment and risk tier.

03

Deploy

Onboard endpoints via Intune, enable the Defender suite tenant-wide, and migrate off legacy AV with no coverage gap. Pilot, then phase.

04

Operate

SOC triages every alert, auto-remediates known-good, and escalates real incidents. Quarterly tuning. Annual purple-team validation.

03 · Why it matters for SMBs

Enterprise XDR you already license — finally turned on properly.

Most SMBs on Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E5 are already paying for Defender and using a fraction of it. TruPoint configures the whole suite and puts a Canadian SOC behind it — the level of detection-and-response insurers now expect.

  • No extra agent — it's built into the Microsoft stack you own
  • One correlated signal across device, email, and identity
  • 24/7 SOC eyes — answers "who is watching?" on the insurer form
  • Auto-isolation contains ransomware before it spreads
  • Evidence and audit trail that feed TruCompliance directly
"

We were already paying for E5. TruPoint switched Defender on the right way and now a phished credential gets caught the same hour — not the same quarter.
