Securing Your company through Managed Security
Enhance Your Security Posture with Managed Security
Discover how The Collective leverages cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge to protect your digital assets through our Belgian Security Operations Center (SOC).
Managed Detection & Response
Cyber threats don’t keep office hours — and neither do we.
In today’s landscape, relying on prevention alone isn’t enough. Threats are becoming more sophisticated, stealthy, and relentless. That’s why organizations need more than tools — they need eyes on their environment 24/7, combined with expert insight and rapid response.
Our MDR service delivers just that. Fueled by the power of Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel, we continuously monitor your environment, detect suspicious behavior in real time, and respond to threats before they can cause harm. Backed by a team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals, our service adds critical depth to your defense — transforming signal into action, and threats into resolved cases.
In a world where threats move fast, so do we. Let us keep watch, so you can move forward with confidence.

Advanced Scanning Techniques
Utilizing state-of-the-art scanning tools, we detect vulnerabilities across various platforms, including cloud, network, and endpoint devices, to provide a comprehensive security overview.
Managed Security Baselines
Every organization is unique — with systems, processes, and business needs that don’t always align with a one-size-fits-all security approach. Still, most security best practices can be traced back to universal principles found in frameworks like NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS Controls.
That’s why our Security Baselines are designed to be both principled and practical. Built on a foundation of industry best practices, proven standards, and real-world experience, our baselines are thoughtfully tailored to your environment. The goal? Strengthening your security posture without breaking critical functionality or wasting hours troubleshooting overly rigid templates.
To match your organization’s specific maturity and complexity, The Collective offers three baseline levels:
-
Minimal – for foundational security without disruption
-
Strict – for organizations ready to enforce tighter controls
-
Advanced – for mature environments seeking comprehensive protection
As part of every onboarding, we assess your current security maturity to determine the most appropriate starting point — ensuring your baseline is effective from day one.
Our thorough approach to delivering security baselines

Assessment
Execute an assessment to identify what security maturity the customer has and how that correlates with The Collective baseline.

Deployment Workshop
Workshop with the customer to present the results of the assessments and agree on the security level (minimal, strict or advanced) based on recommendations by The Collective. During this workshop, the scope of the initial onboarding will be determined.

Procedures & Agreements
Setup all required procedures and agreements around deployment rings, exclusion handling and approvals.

Technical Onboarding
Deployment of all technical control in order to integrate the customers’ tenant into the service and have the ability to both audit and deploy the required settings

Baseline Deployment
Phased deployment of the initial version of the baseline based on the workshop.
Why Choose The Collective
Advanced automation and efficiency
Our managed security services are engineered for scale, speed, and precision. By leveraging Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender, we automate large parts of the detection-to-response chain — from correlation and enrichment to incident prioritization and containment.
Custom AI models augment this pipeline by analyzing behavioral patterns, reducing false positives, and surfacing high-fidelity alerts with real context. Combined with automated playbooks and response workflows, this enables rapid mitigation without human bottlenecks.
The result: faster response times, less alert fatigue, and a security operation that works as efficiently as it protects.
Enhanced detection capabilities
We go beyond signature-based detection to identify threats others miss.
We combine the best technology has to offer with our own detection engineering efforts; delivering deep visibility across your environment — on-premises and in the cloud. Our approach blends behavioral analytics, threat intelligence, and anomaly detection to uncover suspicious activity in real time, even in complex or hybrid infrastructures.
With continuous tuning, enrichment, and threat model refinement, our detection capabilities evolve as fast as the threat landscape does — giving you earlier insights and stronger defenses, 24/7.
Transparent and flexible pricing
Our commitment to transparent pricing ensures clarity and predictability for clients, eliminating uncertainties and surprises. Through upfront explanation of our pricing structure, we enable clients to make informed financial decisions, knowing exactly what to expect. Embracing a “grow as you go” approach, our flexible pricing model accommodates clients’ evolving needs, fostering a partnership built on trust and mutual success.
Comprehensive client support
Our SOC goes beyond basic operations by providing continuous advice and support to clients. We prioritize managing daily operations while also focusing on improvements such as automation and advising clients on necessary updates.
