Audit & harden your
Azure Tenant

Most UAE mid-market organisations run their entire business on Azure and Microsoft 365 — and most haven't configured security beyond the default Conditional Access policy. We find the 10 – 30 high-severity misconfigurations hiding in your tenant and fix them in 1 – 2 weeks.

Why this matters for UAE

Microsoft is the UAE default. Security configuration isn't.

The UAE has one of the highest Microsoft cloud-adoption rates in the region. Government mandates, TRA policies, and enterprise procurement preference all push UAE organisations toward Azure and Microsoft 365 as the default stack.

Yet most UAE mid-market organisations run out-of-the-box configurations. Every assessment we've seen has 10 – 30 high-severity misconfigurations that take hours, not months, to fix: over-permissive Conditional Access policies, storage accounts open to the internet, misconfigured Entra ID roles, unused Microsoft Defender licences, SharePoint guest-access policies left wide open.

This is the highest-ROI cloud security work available — and it's work we deliver in 1 – 2 weeks, not 3 months.

FAQ

Common questions

We're already on Azure / M365 with default config — is that really risky?
Yes. Microsoft ships secure defaults for *some* settings, but the most impactful controls (Conditional Access policies, Defender posture, RBAC scope, storage anonymous access, SharePoint external sharing, Entra privileged-role membership) all need explicit configuration. Every UAE tenant we've seen has 10–30 high-severity findings out of the box.
Will an assessment disrupt our users or production environment?
No. The assessment is read-only — we use a Global Reader role (Azure) and a delegated read-only admin (M365). No changes are made without your explicit approval during the remediation phase. Users see nothing. Operations are unaffected.
Do you just give a report, or do you actually fix the issues?
Both. The deliverable is a CIS-mapped findings report with a prioritised remediation plan, and we can implement the fixes for you — change-controlled, in your maintenance window, with your team shadowing if you want the knowledge transfer. We're not a "throw-it-over-the-wall" consultancy.
What's the difference between an Azure assessment and an M365 review?
Azure assessment covers your subscription-level resources: VMs, networking, storage, key vault, RBAC, Defender for Cloud posture, Entra ID at the directory level. M365 review covers user-facing workloads: Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Conditional Access, MFA, DLP, sensitivity labels. Most clients need both — we usually bundle them at a discount.
What level of access do you need to start?
For Azure: a guest account with the Global Reader role assigned at the tenant root, plus Reader role on the subscriptions in scope. For M365: a delegated read-only admin role. We sign an NDA before access is granted, and your access can be revoked the moment delivery is complete. No credentials leave your tenant.
Will this work prepare us for ISO 27001, NESA, or PDPL?
Yes. Every finding is mapped to ISO 27001 Annex A controls, UAE IA V2, ADHICS v2, and PDPL relevant clauses on request. The remediation evidence we produce becomes audit evidence — this is one of the highest-leverage activities for any UAE compliance programme.

Moved to Azure? Using M365 for everything? When did you last audit the security configuration?
