Use Case · Astragar for Microsoft Security
Microsoft shows you the security signals. Astragar shows you the business risk.
Turn Microsoft security data into quantified business risk.
Connect Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Intune and Purview to quantify cyber exposure, prove control effectiveness, prioritise remediation and insure the risk that remains.
Illustrative figures.
The business-risk layer above Microsoft Security
Thousands of signals. Five business questions.
Microsoft gathers technical security evidence. Astragar connects it to assets, business services, controls, sensitive data, financial exposure and cyber insurance.
01 · The workflow
From Microsoft evidence to an economic remediation queue.
Microsoft Security sources
The business-risk chain
Prioritise
Every action priced. Every decision defensible.
| Action | Microsoft evidence | Exposure reduction | Cost | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patch exposed server group | Defender VM | $3.2M | $18K | Fix |
| Enforce privileged MFA | Entra | $2.1M | $8K | Fix |
| Protect sensitive dataset | Purview | $1.4M | $35K | Fix |
| Harden cloud workload | Defender for Cloud | $780K | $60K | Refer |
| Low-impact vulnerability group | Defender VM | $40K | $90K | Accept |
Illustrative figures.
02 · Prove the financial value of Microsoft Security
Show what your Microsoft security investment is doing for the business.
Many enterprises invest heavily in Microsoft security, yet struggle to show its value to the CFO or board. The Microsoft Security Value Report translates controls into an economic view of risk.
Modelled exposure reduction by control domain
Illustrative. Figures are modelled risk reductions, not claims that an individual Microsoft product directly “saved” that amount.
03 · Connect Microsoft Security to cyber insurance
We've secured the Microsoft environment. What risk is left, and have we transferred enough of it?
| Scenario | Residual exposure | Estimated insured | Potential gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ransomware | $5.5M | $5.0M | $0.5M |
| Data breach | $4.2M | $2.8M | $1.4M |
| Business interruption | $3.7M | $2.0M | $1.7M |
| Cloud outage | $2.1M | $0.5M | $1.6M |
Illustrative figures.
The same evidence used to identify and reduce cyber risk can also support insurance discussions. About Sternwake →

The board doesn't need thousands of Defender alerts.

05 · Microsoft Security optimisation
Are you getting full value from Microsoft Security?
Illustrative figures. Security optimisation becomes a CFO-level discussion, not another technical assessment.
