Microsoft Security — protection across identity, devices and cloud
Defend your whole estate with Microsoft’s integrated security stack — Defender, Sentinel, Entra and Purview. GDS Africa designs, deploys and operates your Zero Trust defences.
The challenge
The attack surface keeps growing
Identities, devices, apps and cloud all expand the attack surface — and threats move faster than most teams can.
Expanding surface
More users, devices, apps and clouds mean more ways in.
Identity is the perimeter
Compromised identities are behind most breaches.
Compliance pressure
Data protection and regulatory demands keep rising.

FAQ
Common questions
Defender or Sentinel? +
Both: Defender (XDR) protects and detects across your assets; Sentinel (SIEM) gives org-wide visibility, hunting and response. They work together.
What is Zero Trust? +
A model that trusts nothing by default — every access is verified, least-privilege and continuously assessed. We implement it with Entra and Defender.
Why focus on identity? +
Most breaches start with a compromised identity; Entra (MFA, conditional access) is the first and most important control.
Can you help with compliance? +
Yes — Microsoft Purview provides data classification, DLP, governance and compliance tooling we configure to your obligations.
