Sentinel watches what is happening. Senserva hardens the configuration so there is less to detect. Better together.
Microsoft Sentinel is a powerful cloud-native SIEM and SOAR. It detects and responds to threats; Senserva reduces the misconfigurations that let threats succeed. Senserva has achieved Microsoft Sentinel integration approval, earned for Senserva Drift Manager and carried across the Senserva product line, so configuration posture and detection work together.

Senserva runs standalone for full Microsoft 365 posture across configurations, logs, and CVEs, or right alongside Microsoft Sentinel.
| What Microsoft Sentinel does well | Where teams want more |
|---|---|
| Scalable cloud-native SIEM and SOAR. | A SIEM detects activity; it does not audit and fix configuration posture. |
| Deep Microsoft ecosystem and threat-intelligence integration. | Microsoft 365 misconfiguration coverage is not its focus. |
| Powerful analytics, hunting, and automation. | Tuning and cost require investment. |
| Centralized incident response. | Prevention-side hardening is out of scope. |
| Capability | Microsoft Sentinel | Senserva |
|---|---|---|
| SIEM / detection and response | Core strength | Not a SIEM |
| M365 configuration posture | Limited | 650+ checks |
| Compliance mapping | Limited | Native |
| Agentic remediation of config gaps | No | Yes |

Senserva builds a complete, structured Microsoft 365 security dataset, configuration, identity, devices, logs, CVEs, and compliance mappings, as one connected graph, and opens all of it to the AI of your choice through the Claude MCP and the Senserva SDK. Bring your own model, there is no AI markup. Point Claude, or any AI you run, at the whole dataset and it can audit, threat-hunt, explain, and remediate from your real findings, not a vendor summary.
That is the part most tools do not give you. Many have no AI at all, or a closed built-in assistant you cannot point at your own model, or they keep their findings in a dashboard you cannot query. Where a tool does expose its data to your AI, Senserva runs right alongside it and adds the rest of the Microsoft 365 picture. Either way, the data stays with you, nothing is locked in a vendor cloud.
Microsoft Sentinel is a scalable, cloud-native SIEM with built-in SOAR, running on Azure Log Analytics. It ingests logs from Microsoft 365, Azure, and a large catalog of third-party sources, then detects, investigates, and responds to threats across the estate.
Analytics rules and proactive hunting queries are written in Kusto Query Language (KQL), and detections map to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The combination of rich data and a powerful query language is what makes Sentinel strong for threat detection and investigation.
SOAR playbooks, built on Azure Logic Apps, automate response: enrich an alert, open a ticket, disable an account, or isolate a device without manual steps. Automation rules orchestrate how incidents are triaged and assigned.
Sentinel's value depends on the data flowing into it, and ingestion drives cost, so connector selection and tuning matter. It is a detection-and-response platform; the quality of the configuration and posture data it receives shapes how much it can catch.
No. Sentinel is detection and response; Senserva is configuration posture and compliance. They are complementary, and integration is approved.
No agents and no cloud service. Senserva reads your tenant through Microsoft's APIs and runs on Windows or Mac. You can explore the whole product first on the free Advanced Microsoft 365 Security Simulator, with no access to your environment at all.
Yes. The Advanced Microsoft 365 Security Simulator and the game let you explore a full scan, the findings, the AI, and the reports for free. Scanning your own tenant takes a free registration, which unlocks 2 tenants with up to 25 users each, and education institution and nonprofit discounts are available.
Yes. It supports multi-tenant and MSP fleets, with bulk tenant security audits and unified, client-ready reporting across many customers.
Senserva is built for AI from the ground up and also runs fully without it. Turn it on for AI-enhanced reports and to run the product from Claude, or the AI of your choice, via our market-leading MCP. You bring your own model, so there is no AI markup, and the rich data model keeps calls and cost low.
