Frequently Asked Questions
What infrastructure does Microsoft Sentinel need?
Microsoft Sentinel requires the following CMC levels: Formality L3, Capture L4, Structure L4, Accessibility L3, Maintenance L4, Integration L4. These represent the minimum organizational infrastructure needed for successful deployment across six dimensions of context modelling capability.
Can a typical SaaS/Technology organization deploy Microsoft Sentinel?
No, the typical saas/technology organization is structurally blocked in 3 dimensions: Structure, Maintenance, Integration. Each blocked dimension (gap of 2+ levels) requires 12-24 months of infrastructure investment before deployment is viable.
What is the biggest infrastructure gap for Microsoft Sentinel?
The largest gap is in Structure (gap of 2 levels). This dimension is structurally blocked, meaning the organization lacks fundamental infrastructure that takes 12-24+ months to build. The CMC Framework measures six dimensions: Formality, Capture, Structure, Accessibility, Maintenance, and Integration.
How long does it take to close the infrastructure gap for Microsoft Sentinel?
Blocked dimensions (gap 2+ levels) typically require 12-24 months of infrastructure investment. Microsoft Sentinel has 3 blocked dimensions. Stretch dimensions (gap 1-2 levels) typically require 6-12 months. Microsoft Sentinel has 2 stretch dimensions. Timeline depends on organizational velocity: digital-native companies close gaps 3-5x faster than legacy incumbents.
