Entra ID. Intune. Sentinel. The Three Pillars of Microsoft Security, Now Fully Integrated with Drift Manager
We've got good news to share: Senserva Drift Manager is now officially approved for integration with Microsoft Sentinel. This is our third Microsoft ecosystem endorsement, and it's the one that completes the picture.
Think of it this way: Microsoft's security stack sits on three legs. Entra ID handles identity and access. Intune manages devices and applications. Sentinel brings it all together for security operations and incident response. We now have validated integrations with all three.
That's not an accident. That's a deliberate strategy to ensure configuration drift management works wherever security teams are actually working.
Plenty of security vendors can claim one Microsoft integration. Some even have two. But having validated integrations across identity, device management, AND security operations? That's rare. And it matters because configuration drift doesn't respect these artificial boundaries.
A misconfiguration in Entra ID affects your identity security posture. A drift in Intune policies compromises your device management. And both of those issues should surface in Sentinel where your security team is investigating threats. Now they do, because Drift Manager speaks all three languages natively.
This isn't about collecting certifications like merit badges. It's about recognizing that modern Microsoft security is an ecosystem, not a collection of isolated tools. Organizations that use one of these platforms typically use at least two, often all three. And they need their security solutions to work seamlessly across all of them.
If you're not familiar with Sentinel, it's Microsoft's cloud-native security operations platform where security teams investigate threats, hunt for vulnerabilities, and respond to incidents. Now Drift Manager fits right into that workflow.
Here's the straightforward story: Senserva Drift Manager reviews your Microsoft 365 environments for adherence to a defined standard, either a common built-in standard or a custom-made standard to fit your individual needs. It's a security-first design, operating within your MSP environment, never sending you or your customer data to a third-party repository. Setup occurs in minutes through Microsoft Marketplace, quickly onboarding your customer environments to our patented automated scanning solution.
But here's what makes this Sentinel approval significant: it's the piece that brings everything together.
With Entra ID integration, we catch configuration drift in your identity and access policies before they create security gaps.
With Intune integration, we monitor device and application management configurations to ensure your endpoints stay secure.
With Sentinel integration, all of that drift detection now feeds directly into your security operations platform where threats are investigated and incidents are managed.
Configuration issues don't get siloed in separate tools or lost in email alerts. They show up where security teams are already working, with the context they need to understand the impact and take action.
For organizations using Sentinel as their security operations hub, this means configuration drift becomes part of the broader security picture that analysts monitor every day. It's not a separate workflow, it's an integrated capability.
If you're positioning security services to customers in the Microsoft ecosystem, having a solution with validated integrations across all three major security platforms is a competitive differentiator that's hard to match.
Your competitors might have a tool that works with Entra ID. Maybe they've got something for Intune. But do they have a configuration drift solution that's been validated by Microsoft across identity, device management, AND security operations? Probably not.
This matters when you're talking to customers who've made serious investments in Microsoft security. They don't want another point solution that lives in isolation. They want tools that work with what they've already deployed. Now you can confidently say "Drift Manager integrates with your Entra ID, your Intune deployment, and your Sentinel security operations platform, all validated by Microsoft."
That's a clean story. That's differentiation.
For customers using Sentinel specifically, you can position configuration drift detection as part of their comprehensive security operations strategy, not a separate tool they need to check occasionally. The drift alerts flow into where security analysts are already working.
And for customers not yet using all three platforms? You've got a solution that grows with them. Start with Entra ID integration, add Intune when they expand device management, incorporate Sentinel when they mature their security operations. One vendor, one solution, three validated integrations.
Our Sentinel integration is live and discoverable through Sentinel Content Hub. Organizations already using Sentinel can deploy it directly. MSPs managing multiple customer environments can incorporate it into their security service offerings.
For partners working with Crayon, this is another tool in your arsenal when positioning comprehensive Microsoft security solutions. You're not cobbling together disparate tools and hoping they work together, you're delivering Microsoft-validated integrations that actually fit into customer workflows.
And for us? We're continuing to expand our Microsoft ecosystem integrations while staying focused on what we do best: catching configuration drift before it becomes a breach, and making remediation as automated as possible.
This Sentinel approval completes a deliberate strategy. We didn't chase random Microsoft certifications, we systematically built integrations across the three core pillars of Microsoft security because that's where the real work happens.
Entra ID for identity. Intune for device management. Sentinel for security operations. Three legs holding up the stool. Remove any one of them and the whole thing gets wobbly.
Each validation confirms that we're building in the right direction, solving real problems with proper integration architecture. But having all three? That's when you can genuinely claim comprehensive coverage of the Microsoft security ecosystem.
These aren't vanity certifications. They represent actual customer deployments, real MSP partners delivering value, and measurable improvements in how organizations manage configuration security across their entire Microsoft environment. Microsoft doesn't approve integrations as a favor. They approve them because customers are using them and finding them valuable.
That's the validation that counts.
For Crayon's partners across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, this means you're working with a vendor that understands the Microsoft ecosystem isn't a single product, it's an integrated platform. And you need security solutions that respect that reality.
We've built those integrations. Microsoft has validated them. Your customers can deploy them with confidence.
