Security Engineering

Security findings that get fixed, not filed.

Most security teams can find the problem and cannot change the infrastructure underneath it. North Ark detects it, designs the fix, implements it and verifies it, because the same engineers work across identity, endpoint, network and cloud.

Identity and access

  • Entra ID tenant design, hybrid identity health and Conditional Access policy sets that are tested before enforcement
  • MFA rollout, legacy authentication removal and authentication strength for privileged roles
  • Privileged access: PIM, break-glass accounts, admin separation, service principal and app registration hygiene
  • Microsoft 365 tenant configuration and licence alignment against the controls you use
A checklist of six security findings, four ticked as closed and two still open, connected to three areas of work: identity, endpoint and detection.

Endpoint and workload

  • Intune compliance and configuration baselines, Defender for Endpoint onboarding and tuning
  • Defender for Cloud posture across Azure subscriptions, with findings routed to owners
  • Vulnerability and patch remediation with evidence of closure

Detection and response

  • Microsoft Sentinel workspace design, data connectors, analytics rules and cost control on ingestion
  • Response playbooks and automation for the incidents that recur
  • Log architecture that keeps the evidence you will need in an investigation

Network and architecture

Segmentation, firewall rule rationalisation, private connectivity for platform services, and zero trust decisions sequenced against what the environment can absorb. Controls are chosen for this estate, not lifted from a generic checklist.

How it fits

Security engineering is delivered as Transformation Engineering when there is a defined uplift, and as part of Managed Engineering when North Ark owns the controls continuously. An Infrastructure Review is the usual way to establish what to fix first, and findings are mapped to the ACSC Essential Eight where it applies.
