Security Integration
& Engineering

Implement security controls that work across your environment. Security tools only provide value when they are implemented properly, connected to the right systems, tuned to the environment and supported by clear processes. RTCS turns security requirements into working technical controls - integrated, documented and operationally useful.

  • SIEM and log source integration across Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, QRadar and others
  • Endpoint and EDR rollout, including Microsoft Defender configuration
  • Identity security implementation across Entra ID, M365 and Active Directory
  • Conditional Access, MFA, PIM and privileged access rollout
  • Cloud security control implementation across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud
  • Detection rule, dashboard and alert tuning
  • Security automation and workflow design
  • Remediation engineering for audit, pentest and assessment findings
  • Technical documentation and operational handover

01 / Context

Tools don't reduce risk. Working controls do.

Security integration and engineering is the technical work needed to implement, connect and improve cyber security systems - configuring platforms, integrating log sources, improving identity controls, deploying endpoint protection, automating workflows, implementing hardening, and connecting tools across cloud, network, endpoint and identity environments.

02 / Common Gaps

Where security tool investment quietly loses value.

G1

Tools not fully deployed

G2

Important log sources missing

G3

Alerts not tuned to the environment

G4

Security platforms not integrated

G5

Manual processes that could be automated

G6

Hardening recommendations not implemented

G7

Identity controls applied inconsistently

G8

Cloud security settings not enforced

G9

Poor documentation and handover

G10

Security uplift not completed after assessments

03 / SIEM & Logging

Right logs in. Useful alerts out.

RTCS supports SIEM and logging integrations across Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, QRadar, Google SecOps and other logging platforms.

Log source onboarding Parser & field mapping Detection rule implementation Dashboards & reporting Alert tuning Incident workflow integration Retention & storage review Audit evidence collection

For the readiness-side assessment of SIEM, EDR and response workflows, pair with Detection & Response Readiness.

04 / Endpoint & Identity

Endpoint & Identity

Endpoint & EDR Engineering

Endpoint onboarding, Microsoft Defender configuration, policy tuning, attack surface reduction rules, tamper protection, device control, alert review, response action configuration and operational handover - across workstations, servers and cloud workloads.

Identity Security Implementation

MFA rollout, Conditional Access, privileged access controls, PIM configuration, app consent controls, guest access, break-glass account configuration, joiner / mover / leaver improvements and access review implementation. Pair with Identity & Access Management.

05 / Cloud Security Engineering

Consistent controls across subscriptions, accounts and projects.

RTCS supports cloud security engineering across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

Security baseline implementation Policy & guardrail configuration Defender for Cloud setup Cloud logging & monitoring Network security controls Key & secret management Storage security controls Public exposure reduction Recommendation remediation

For the assessment side, pair with Cloud Security or Azure Security Posture & CIS Benchmark Review.

06 / Automation & Remediation

Automation & Remediation

Security Automation

Alert routing, ticket creation, notification workflows, alert enrichment, evidence collection, user / device response actions, reporting automation and repeatable remediation workflows - so manual security work doesn't slow response down.

Remediation Engineering

Turn audit, pentest and assessment findings into completed remediation work - prioritisation, configuration changes, hardening, logging improvements, access control fixes, exposure reduction, retest support and closure evidence. Pair with Vulnerability Management.

07 / Engineering vs Architecture

Engineering vs Architecture

Security Architecture & Design

The blueprint - design decisions, trust boundaries, control selection and threat modelling. See Security Architecture & Design.

Security Integration & Engineering

The build - implementing, integrating, tuning and documenting the controls the architecture specifies. What this page covers.

Understand to Handover

A practical, staged delivery approach that produces working controls and a clean handover.

01
Understand

Review the environment, tools, requirements, risks and current implementation gaps.

02
Design

Define the technical approach, integrations, controls, dependencies and success criteria.

03
Implement

Configure, integrate or improve the required security controls.

04
Validate

Test the changes to confirm they work as intended and don't create unnecessary disruption.

05
Handover

Provide documentation, operational notes and support transition to your internal team or service provider.

Where engineering connects to the rest of the program.

Security Architecture & Design

The design decisions that the engineering work implements.

Detection & Response Readiness

SIEM, EDR and response assessments that drive the integration backlog.

Cloud Security

Cloud assessment work that the engineering side closes out across Azure, AWS and GCP.

Azure Posture & CIS Benchmark

CIS-aligned remediation actions implemented and evidenced after the review.
