Always on security for Microsoft 365.
Watch is the operational heart of Amuneth. It is where security becomes a continuous capability instead of a recurring project — monitoring, triage, analysis, escalation and reporting, day and night. Security is not something that happens during a quarterly review or after an incident. With Watch, it is an always-running operating model that keeps improving in the background.
For companies with roughly 10 to 300 employees, security is often a balancing act. The same threats apply as for large enterprises, but without a dedicated SOC, a full security team, or true 24/7 coverage. Attacks do not wait for office hours — and Microsoft 365 environments change continuously, whether you actively manage them or not. New features arrive, defaults shift, and security posture slowly drifts unless it is actively operated.
That is why Amuneth operates a 24/7 Security Operations Center built specifically for Microsoft 365. We continuously monitor your tenant for suspicious behaviour, misconfigurations and real threats — not just alerts, but context. Not just tools, but people who understand what matters in your environment: identity signals, mailbox abuse patterns, device posture, privilege changes and the subtle indicators that show intent long before damage happens.
When something happens at 02:00, it is seen, analysed and escalated with clear ownership. When Microsoft changes defaults or introduces new capabilities, Watch helps prevent silent security drift by continuously validating your posture. The result is a Microsoft 365 environment that stays secure as threats and platforms evolve — without you having to build the staffing model, processes and shift coverage yourself.
What Watch looks like in practice
Watch is designed for clarity and accountability. Signals are monitored continuously, triaged with consistent playbooks, analysed with business context in mind, and escalated through clear decision paths. You do not just get “alerts” — you get structured insight and a continuous improvement loop.
Monitoring & triage
Continuous visibility on tenant activity and security signals, with prioritisation based on impact and likelihood.
- Noise reduction and meaningful prioritisation
- Repeatable playbooks and structured triage
- Clear handover and escalation rules
Analysis & escalation
Investigation with context — what happened, what it means, what should be done next, and who owns the decision.
- Validated findings (not raw assumptions)
- Escalation based on severity and business impact
- Mentor/senior oversight on critical paths
Reporting & improvement
Monthly reporting is not an afterthought. It is part of the operational rhythm that keeps the environment improving.
- Trends, recurring causes, and recommendations
- Clear “what changed” and “what to do next”
- Backlog-driven hardening and tuning
Mentor-led security operations: building new analysts responsibly
Watch includes a mentor-led programme designed to develop new security professionals responsibly. This is not “cheap staffing” and it is not a shortcut. It is a deliberate operating model where learning happens inside strict guardrails and quality remains owned by senior specialists.
The security industry faces a structural problem. There is a growing group of students, starters and career switchers who want to work in security, but lack real-world experience. Without experience there is no job — and without a job there is no experience. Meanwhile, organisations struggle to recruit and retain experienced specialists, especially for 24/7 coverage.
Watch is designed to break this cycle by putting mentorship at the centre of operations. We combine a small core of experienced SOC Level 3 specialists with a structured intake of junior analysts who are trained on the job — under continuous supervision, with clear quality gates and escalation paths.
How the mentorship works
Mentorship is not occasional coaching — it is part of the daily workflow. Juniors do not “operate alone”; they learn by analysing real signals and discussing their work with mentors in real time.
- Juniors work with real-time security signals in a controlled environment
- Read-only access wherever possible, to keep analysis safe by design
- Every finding is reviewed, challenged, and refined with a mentor
- Escalation and final decisions remain with experienced professionals
- Quality is measured through consistency, documentation and learning progress
The growth path (L1 → L2)
The programme is structured around phased progression — not “time served”. Advancement happens when quality and judgement are proven.
- Phase 1 (SOC L1): triage support, initial analysis, structured reporting
- Phase 2 (towards SOC L2): deeper investigations, pattern recognition, improved context
- Mentor validation is required before recommendations are published
- Complex cases are handled by SOC L3 specialists, with juniors learning by observing and reviewing
Monthly reporting is a key part of the mentoring model. Juniors learn to translate signals into clear insight: what happened, what it means, what changed, and what should be improved. Mentors ensure quality, accuracy and tone — and customers receive consistent, professional reports instead of raw telemetry.
Here is the dealmaker: the more organisations onboard to Watch, the more mentorship capacity we can safely create. Watch customers enable more supervised seats, more mentor time, and more structured learning — which results in a sustainable pipeline of trained analysts who understand real environments, real constraints, and real operational responsibility.
That is why Watch is not only a security service — it is a long-term investment in security capability. For your organisation this means reliable 24/7 coverage and stronger reporting today. For the broader ecosystem it means something equally important: a responsible way to educate and grow the next generation of security professionals, without compromising trust or safety.
