Why Senserva: configuration, patching, and logs in one model. Remediation included

Why did we build Senserva? To help Microsoft customers get the most from the security they already pay for. Microsoft's products are powerful, but that power is hard for many teams to fully unlock. Senserva works with them, from the entry F1 and S1 licenses through E7, to make everyone's security better.

Find it. Fix it. Prove it.

Mark Shavlik built the first widely used Windows patch scanner, sold Shavlik Technologies to VMware, and founded Senserva to finish the job he started: security innovation that brings real security to companies of every size, not just the ones with a Fortune 500 budget. Read why he started over.

From three inputs to one model to ranked, remediated, and verified Configuration, patching and CVEs, logs, and third party data feed one connected model, with Senserva AI analysis and the Senserva MCP. The model produces AI-enhanced assessment ranked by real risk, AI-enhanced reports and validated remediation you approve and apply, compliance and audit evidence, and output to your SIEM and other workflows. The next scan proves the gap is closed, feeding the next cycle.

One model, Senserva Trustworthy AI-enhanced: up to 80% less cost to harden, audit, and report.

Senserva models your configuration, your patching and CVEs, and your logs as one connected model, not three separate tools. That single model is what ranks real risk. Senserva's built-in analysis scores it deterministically and runs fully standalone, no AI required.

Turn AI on and the same model works hand in hand with the AI of your choice to reason across your whole Microsoft 365 estate, grounded in your real findings and validated before you act through Senserva Trustworthy AI.

This is where the savings come from. One model means one scan and one workflow instead of three separate tools and manual hand-offs, so the same team does far more in far less time. And then the automated remediation kicks in. That efficiency is what drives a cost reduction of up to 80% in Microsoft 365 hardening, auditing, compliance, and reporting: fewer consoles to stitch together, fixes written for you, and audit-ready evidence produced automatically on every scan.

What one model is worth

The value lands in two places: the hours it gives back every month, and the gap it closes that nothing else did. Both came from users, not from us.

80% less hardening effort
One scan and one workflow instead of three tools and manual hand-offs, and the fix comes written.
Evidence on the first scan
Findings arrive mapped to the frameworks an auditor asks about, so audit prep stops being a project.
IT and Security, optimized
Both teams work the same ranked list from the same model, so effort goes to what actually reduces risk instead of to reconciling three tools.
"Senserva cut my tenant hardening effort by 80%. Setup takes minutes, results are immediate. The AI doesn't just report findings, it reasons about your environment and tells you exactly how to fix them."
Timo Becirovic, Municipal IT Consulting, ITEBO GmbH
"I have been looking for a product like Senserva for three years."
A prospective Senserva customer

Three years of looking is the real story. The pieces existed: posture tools, patch tools, log tools. What did not exist was one model that holds all three at once, ranks the overlap, and writes the fix. That is also where the 80% comes from: the work you stop doing is the joining of tools by hand.

The model: one connected graph

Most teams check these separately: a posture tool for configuration, a patch or RMM tool for missing updates, a SIEM for activity. Each answers one question, and you join them by hand, across consoles, after the fact. But risk lives in the overlap. A weak setting is worse on an unpatched machine, and worse still when the logs show it being probed.

Risk lives in the overlap. One model sees it; three separate tools do not.

Senserva is changing the way the industry works

Know the true state of your Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and Entra ID environment and find your security gaps, from misconfigurations to CVEs and missing patches. It brings configuration, patching, and logs together in one model, the state of the art for security, so the AI can reason across your whole estate and create better, grounded fixes. Fix the high-priority issues fast, prove you are compliant, and save up to 80% of your security management time.

Deterministic where it counts, AI where it helps. Built for any size company, scaling across MSP clients. Live in minutes.

One context graph
Identity, devices, apps, privileged access, Microsoft 365 data, logs, and CVE exposure, with the relationships between them. Cross-surface questions become a plain-English ask, not a hand-coded KQL query. CVE reporting.
Remediation, not just findings
Each issue comes with a plain-language explanation, the mapped control, and a validated, ready-to-run fix. Great with AI, fully functional without it.
Key to compliance
Every finding maps to the controls auditors ask about, MCSB, CISA SCuBA, NIST, HIPAA and more, with audit-ready evidence on the first scan. Getting and staying compliant becomes routine, and continuous drift management keeps you on baseline between audits. See the frameworks.
Lower cost, higher security for MSPs
Standardize across every client tenant and automate the manual work, so you cut hours and cost while raising the security bar. How MSPs save time. How we help MSPs.
Works with what you already run
Bring 650+ checks, remediation, and AI to your PowerShell, Maester, and Zero Trust Assessment workflows, through the SDK and MCP. SDK and MCP.
No new hires needed
Your existing IT and security team runs Senserva. No specialists to hire, no consultants, and no managed-service contract required. The automation and AI do the heavy lifting, so a small team covers far more, with the automation-driven time savings to prove it.
Local or shared cloud database
Run on a local database with zero setup, or switch on a shared cloud database in your own Azure so your whole team scans and reviews the same findings.

Why the founder started over

Mark Shavlik was an engineer on the original Microsoft Windows NT kernel team. He then founded Shavlik Technologies and created HfNetChk, the scanner that became the basis for the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and shipped patch management to millions of endpoints. Shavlik Technologies was sold to VMware, and those products live on today at Ivanti.

He founded Senserva to finish the job he started. Patch management solved one slice of the problem for one era. The estate moved to the cloud, and the same pattern came back worse: configuration in one console, patches and CVEs in another, logs in a third, and a small IT team expected to join them by hand and then prove it to an auditor. The companies that could buy their way out did. Everyone else got a scan report and a long weekend.

That is the job: security innovation that brings real security to companies of every size. Not a stripped-down edition for small teams and a real one for enterprises. One model, the same 650+ checks, the same patch and CVE intelligence, the same validated remediation, whether you run one tenant or three hundred. Senserva is all-new code, built for the modern Microsoft estate, sharing nothing with the earlier products but the person and the thirty years of learning what actually gets fixed.

The Shavlik story  ·  About Senserva

A key reason teams choose Senserva

A big reason is the Microsoft tie-in. A Microsoft MISA partner with approved Entra, Intune, and Sentinel integrations, Senserva reads your tenant through Microsoft's own APIs and turns Microsoft's signals into analysis, compliance mapping, and validated remediation, applied right back to the Microsoft products.

Microsoft and Senserva, better together Microsoft surfaces security signals from Defender, Entra ID, Intune, and Microsoft 365. Senserva's AI reads and enriches them, then delivers analysis, compliance mapping, and validated remediation that is applied back to the Microsoft environment. Microsoft FOUNDATION / SIGNAL Defender AV / Defender for Endpoint Entra ID Intune Microsoft 365 signals Senserva AI-ENHANCED ANALYSIS Configuration and posture analysis Compliance mapping (SCuBA, MCSB) AI-validated remediation via Trustworthy AI SIGNALS 1 Microsoft surfaces rich security signals SENSERVA ANALYSIS + AI ANALYSIS 2 Senserva Trustworthy AI reads, enriches, analyzes REMEDIATION 3 AI-validated fixes, mapped to compliance VALIDATED REMEDIATION APPLIED BACK TO MICROSOFT
Microsoft does not build what Senserva builds, and Senserva does not build what Microsoft builds. The two are designed to work together. Senserva and Microsoft, better together.

Why it matters

Real risk rises to the top
Because the model connects the three, a weak setting on an unpatched account that is also being probed in the logs ranks above an isolated finding. You work the few things that matter.
AI gets a real basis to reason from
AI is only as good as what it can see. Give it one connected model of your estate and it produces better, grounded fixes, not guesses. The unified model is what makes the AI useful.

What goes into the model

Each part is a capability on its own. The point is that they share one model.
