Case Study: Linc Cymru strengthens security and compliance with Kocho and Microsoft Sentinel

A Stirling approach to advanced threat protection in the higher education sector

Kocho worked with the University of Stirling to help the organisation evaluate Microsoft Sentinel as a modern SIEM solution. The university needed better visibility, threat detection, and response across its on-premises and cloud environments to protect sensitive data and strengthen security and compliance.

Kocho built and supported a Microsoft Sentinel proof of concept, configuring it quickly and then tuning it over several weeks using real security logs, dashboards, and workbook insights. The result was a fully operational platform that gave the University of Stirling a single, near real-time view of security events, reduced false positives, and created a foundation for further automation, monitoring, and compliance improvements.
