Microsoft Defender for Endpoint clean-up and handover
Make Defender for Endpoint coverage, exclusions and alert ownership clear, then hand recurring checks to internal IT. £2,000 to £4,500; usually 5 to 10 working days.
What the work covers
Where Defender control breaks
Coverage gaps, stale exclusions, noisy alerts and no named escalation owner turn a licensed product into weak operational control.
Scope, output and handover
Review onboarding and coverage, exclusions, alert routing, Intune integration and endpoint baselines. Output: gap list, clean-up sequence, escalation owner and recurring checks.

Questions teams ask before the work
Is this an MDR service?
No. Configuration, clean-up and handover — not 24/7 monitoring.
What does the endpoint clean-up plan cost and take?
Defender for Endpoint clean-up is £2,000 to £4,500 over 5 to 10 working days. Defender-only work sits at the lower end of that range, combined Intune and Defender work at the upper end.
