What we do

Every COSAINT tier starts with the same enterprise-grade security foundation: Blackpoint Cyber for 24/7 SOC monitoring and Ironscales for email threat protection. We do not sell security as an add-on. It is the baseline.

From this foundation, each tier adds progressively deeper protection. Essentials adds Microsoft-native identity and email security (Entra P1, MDO P1). Managed adds endpoint hardening and device security (MDE P1, Defender for Cloud Apps, Intune). Complete upgrades to the full Microsoft Defender XDR suite. Strategic adds Purview compliance, Sentinel SIEM, and external attack surface management.

The layered approach means you are never paying for security you do not need, but you always have a clear upgrade path when your requirements grow. Every tool in the stack is configured, monitored, and maintained by our team – you get protection, not a dashboard to watch.

Security across our tiers

Each tier builds on the one before it. Security capabilities expand as you move up – no gaps, no overlap, clear value at every step.

Security Operations FAQ

Is the SOC really 24/7?
Yes. Our SOC partner, Blackpoint Cyber, operates a 24/7/365 security operations centre staffed by human analysts. Critical threats are detected and responded to in real time, not queued for business hours. Every COSAINT tier includes this level of monitoring – from Cyber at EUR 35/user/month through to Strategic.
What happens when a threat is detected?
When Blackpoint detects a genuine threat, they take immediate containment action – isolating the affected endpoint or blocking the malicious process. Our team is notified simultaneously. You receive a full incident report including what happened, what was done, and any follow-up steps required.
What is the difference between Cyber and Essentials for security?
COSAINT Cyber provides Blackpoint SOC and Ironscales as a security overlay on your existing M365. COSAINT Essentials adds Microsoft-native protection: MDO P1 (Safe Links, Safe Attachments), Entra P1 (Conditional Access with MFA enforcement), and SaaS Backup. If you already have strong M365 configuration, Cyber may be enough. If you want us to harden your identity and email layer with Microsoft tools, Essentials is the step up.
When do I need Defender Suite (Complete tier)?
COSAINT Managed includes MDE P1 for endpoint hardening. COSAINT Complete upgrades to the full Defender Suite – MDE P2 (EDR with automated investigation), MDO P2 (advanced email protection), Entra P2 with PIM (privileged identity management), and enhanced Defender for Cloud Apps. If your organisation faces sophisticated threats, handles sensitive data, or needs cross-domain threat correlation, Complete is the right level.
Do you handle compliance reporting?
Every tier from Essentials upward includes automated monthly security posture reports covering Secure Score, threat detections, and incident summaries. For organisations with specific compliance needs (NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA), COSAINT Strategic includes the full Microsoft Purview suite, Cyberday ISMS platform, and vCISO advisory for comprehensive compliance management.
