Live today: Microsoft Sentinel automation for enrichment, de-duplication and prioritisation, with BeMa analysts leading investigations and response decisions. Agents recommend; analysts decide.
Microsoft Security Copilot agents, such as phishing triage, are rolling out from November 2026 where your tenant has Security Copilot capacity. BeMa’s own agent capabilities will be added over time.
01The problem
Your alerts outnumber your people. That is not a staffing problem you can hire out of.
Security teams in growing organisations are asked to watch more surfaces with the same headcount. Alerts get closed on instinct. Investigations stop at the first plausible answer. The thing that matters hides in the queue.
Pure automation is not the fix either. Unsupervised response can lock out a chief executive or take down a production system at three in the morning. You need speed and judgement in the same loop.
02The agentic loop
Four stages. Automation supports. Analysts decide.
- 01
Detect
Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR and Entra ID provide the security signals. Sentinel automation enriches and de-duplicates alerts.
- 02
Investigate
BeMa analysts review Microsoft security evidence and investigate within the agreed scope. Specialist agent support is being introduced in stages.
- 03
Prioritise
Sentinel automation supports prioritisation. BeMa analysts assess business impact against your estate and agreed escalation criteria.
- 04
Respond
A named BeMa analyst approves consequential actions under agreed runbooks. Customer approval is required where your response boundaries specify it.
HUMAN APPROVAL GATE
03Responsible oversight
Autonomy with a signature on it.
We designed Argus Watch around one rule: automation must remain accountable. As agent capabilities are introduced, agents recommend and analysts decide. Here is what that means in practice.
A named human owns every decision
Agents recommend; analysts decide. BeMa’s own analysts approve actions that carry business risk, under guardrails you set with us.
Reasoning you can read
Case records explain the evidence reviewed, automation used and analyst rationale. As agents are introduced, their recommendations remain subject to analyst review.
Response boundaries you define
We agree together what can be automated, what needs approval and what must never be touched without your sign-off.
Audit-ready by default
Every action, approval and override is logged, so board reporting and post-incident review start from facts.
04Who we work with
A small SOC. A team that knows your estate.
BeMa deliberately runs a small SOC with a limited customer base, so each customer gets a dedicated team that knows their estate — not one of hundreds.
MANAGED SOC
A dedicated team for your Microsoft estate.
Microsoft-native operations for teams that need support, with service coverage hours and escalation agreed around your environment.
CO-MANAGED SOC
Extend the SOC you have.
BeMa analysts work alongside your team on Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR and Entra ID, within agreed coverage hours.
