ThreatDefence Architectural Capability Matrix
Evaluation Pillar Rating Assessment & Limitations
Multi-Tenancy RBAC PASS (8.8/10) Strict cross-tenant log boundary isolation and granular customer-tier permissions.
Detection Flexibility ADEQUATE (7.2/10) Pre-packaged Sigma translation engine; custom ATT&CK correlation rules require manual tuning.
Sensor Deployment STRONG (8.5/10) Lightweight network TAP / NDR sensors with low agent memory footprint (<45MB).
Ticketing / SOAR Velocity MODERATE (6.9/10) Native connectors to ServiceNow/Jira; high incident surges cause queue backlog without playbooks.
Licensing Predictability HIGH (9.0/10) Per-asset / normalized EPS tiers mitigate unpredictable cloud billing spikes.
SOC Engineering Procurement Context

Evaluation Background: Sourced from enterprise MSSP leads assessing platforms like ThreatDefence for high-compliance managed detection operations. Real-world SOC operations require deterministic verification of peak EPS absorption, false-positive suppression, and analyst shift fatigue before signature.

Bottleneck Mitigation: If analyst utilization clears 85% or Tier-1 SLA breach probability rises above 15%, the pipeline signals an active operational threshold warning. Automation rate must be calibrated alongside custom Sigma correlation rules to shield analysts from tier-1 alert burnout.
