About Us

"The Senserva team is great to work with, they are responsive and could find any data in Azure we needed. It’s amazing really."

John McCann, CEO, UK based Satisnet, A Gamma Company

Senserva, an ISV member of the exclusive Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) and 2024 ISV of the year finalist, was founded by industry leader and Microsoft Security expert, Mark Shavlik, along with TJ Dolan.

Our Mission

Senserva believes an essential component of computer security is the efficient application of security tools and automated processes.

We provide straightforward, continuous, and actionable insights into what needs the most immediate attention. Creating guidance on the proper use of Microsoft and other security products for all levels of security skills and driving the management of those insights.

Senserva's Deep Security History

Senserva understands that not all data holds the same value for security. Our method emphasizes using the right data at the right moment for security automation. By selecting pertinent information, Senserva ensures security actions are based on precise and actionable insights, reducing noise and improving efficiency.
