Project Overview We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Consultant / Solution Architect to lead the assessment, design, and transformation of a Microsoft-centric Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. The consultant will work closely with our security leadership, SOC operations team, and technology stakeholders to evaluate the current security environment, define the future-state MDR architecture, and guide the implementation and operationalization of the solution. The engagement will focus on establishing a scalable, enterprise-grade MDR capability leveraging Microsoft security technologies while integrating with existing security investments where applicable. Key Responsibilities Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current security operations, monitoring capabilities, technology landscape, and operational processes. Review existing SIEM, SOAR, Endpoint Security, Threat Intelligence, Identity, Cloud Security, and Incident Response capabilities. Identify architectural, operational, process, and technology gaps impacting MDR effectiveness. Define the target-state MDR operating model, service framework, and transformation roadmap. Develop current-state and future-state security architecture diagrams and reference architectures. Design a Microsoft-centric MDR solution leveraging Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Security Copilot, and related Microsoft security services. Develop integration architecture for third-party security tools, threat intelligence platforms, ticketing systems, and security data sources. Create detailed solution design documents, implementation blueprints, and deployment standards. Define MDR use cases, detection strategies, incident response workflows, automation opportunities, and SOC operating procedures. Provide guidance and oversight during implementation and onboarding activities. Support tuning, optimization, and validation of detection and response capabilities. Develop operational documentation, runbooks, governance frameworks, and service catalog artifacts. Conduct knowledge transfer sessions and hands-on training workshops for internal SOC analysts, engineers, architects, and service delivery teams. Mentor internal resources to ensure long-term sustainability of the MDR capability. Expected Deliverables Current-State Assessment Report Gap Analysis and Recommendations MDR Transformation Strategy and Roadmap Target-State Security Architecture MDR Reference Architecture and Solution Design Integration Architecture and Data Flow Diagrams Use Case and Detection Engineering Framework SOC Operating Model and Governance Framework Implementation and Migration Plan Runbooks, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Playbooks Knowledge Transfer and Training Materials Final Executive Summary and Recommendations Required Skills and Experience 10+ years of experience in Cyber Security Architecture, SOC, MDR, or Security Operations. Proven experience designing and implementing enterprise MDR or SOC transformation programs. Deep expertise in Microsoft Security technologies, including: Microsoft Sentinel Microsoft Defender XDR Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Microsoft Defender for Identity Microsoft Defender for Cloud Microsoft Entra ID Microsoft Security Copilot Strong understanding of SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, Threat Intelligence, Detection Engineering, Threat Hunting, and Incident Response. Experience integrating Microsoft security solutions with third-party technologies. Strong architecture, documentation, stakeholder management, and workshop facilitation skills. Experience in MSSP, MDR service development, or enterprise SOC transformation initiatives is highly preferred. Engagement Outcome The objective of this engagement is to establish a modern, scalable, Microsoft-centric MDR capability that enhances threat detection, incident response, automation, visibility, governance, and operational effectiveness while enabling the internal team to independently manage and evolve the service after project completion

Moving a SOC onto a Microsoft-centric MDR stack usually breaks at the seams: the third-party tools, ticketing systems, and data sources that have to feed Sentinel alongside whatever the team already runs. That integration layer is where I'd be useful, so let me be upfront about scope. I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience and more than 60 delivered freelance contracts. My security work is application-layer: web app penetration testing, security audits, OWASP Top 10, CVSS scoring, and a past role analyzing vulnerabilities in widely used open source Python packages. I've also led a data team for five years running production pipelines on AWS and built many REST and webhook integrations in Python and TypeScript. I haven't architected Sentinel or Defender XDR deployments, so I shouldn't own the full target-state design alone. A first step I'd take is inventorying every log source, ticketing system, and security tool you run and mapping which expose APIs or webhooks, so the integration architecture starts from what can actually connect.

Drawing on my 9+ years of experience as a cyber security specialist, I have had numerous engagements transforming Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and facilitating Managed Detection and Response (MDR) transitions. In my recent interactions, I have specifically focused on leveraging Microsoft technologies, delivering detection and response enhancements while maintaining an efficient cost structure. My scope has also included integrating third-party tools and sources, aligning well with the need to incorporate existing security investments into your new MDR service. I am well-versed in the Microsoft Security suite including Sentinel, Defender XDR, Endpoint, Identity, Cloud and Security Copilot. Besides my deep knowledge of SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, Threat Intelligence et al., your project also seems to require strong documentation skills which I have honed over the years. My previous duty as an architect demanded a solid grasp of current-state assessment and analysis for producing effective gap analyses and recommendations leading to desired target-state architecture. Perhaps one more unique advantage I offer: I elicit key business requirements rather than simply focusing on technical needs. This holistic approach ensures that the solution doesn't just technically work but satisfies all operational needs too. In addition to these skills, collaborating with cross-functional teams is another area of expertise that'd serve us both well throughout this transformation pro
