Security Maturity Roadmap

Security improvement without a plan defaults to whichever issue gets attention that week. This roadmap gives your team a structured 90-day sequence — identity first, then visibility, then monitoring — with defined milestones at each stage so progress is measurable and scope is controlled.

The 90-day improvement sequence

30
Days 1–30: Identity baseline

MFA enforced, legacy authentication blocked, Conditional Access framework deployed, privileged roles reviewed and segmented. The foundation that every other security layer depends on. Nothing else is worth doing until this is right.

60
Days 31–60: Defender visibility

Defender for Endpoint onboarding completed, Defender for Office 365 configured and tuned, Defender for Identity sensors deployed, cross-workload alert correlation enabled. You can now see your environment clearly.

90
Days 61–90: Sentinel and automation readiness

Sentinel workspace configured, log ingestion architecture designed, analytics rules deployed for highest-priority detections, first automation playbooks operational. Centralised monitoring with automated response for high-volume low-complexity events.

+
Ongoing: Governance and continuous improvement

Access reviews, Conditional Access refinement as your environment changes, analytics rule tuning, automation expansion. The roadmap provides the sequence — the architecture documentation ensures your team can continue without dependency on outside support.
