Azure Cloud Security Assessment
CIS-benchmarked review of your Azure tenant, Entra ID, RBAC, storage, network security groups, and Defender for Cloud posture. Every assessment finds 10 – 30 high-severity misconfigurations UAE organisations don't know they have.
What it is
A full security posture assessment of your Azure cloud environment — benchmarked against CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark and Microsoft's own security best practices. We review identity, access, compute, network, storage, monitoring, and tenant-level governance controls.
We do not just hand you the output of Microsoft Secure Score. We validate every finding manually, prioritise by real business impact, and produce a remediation plan your engineers can actually execute — with the specific PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Portal path for every fix.
Delivered with a named Azure Security practitioner and a structured handover so your team leaves the engagement with knowledge, not just a report.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly do you review?
Your entire Azure tenant and Entra ID configuration — subscriptions, RBAC, Conditional Access, MFA policies, privileged identities, storage accounts, network security groups, virtual networks, Key Vault, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud posture. Measured against CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark plus Microsoft's own security best practices.
Do you need admin access?
We ask for a Security Reader role on all subscriptions + Global Reader on Entra ID. This is sufficient for a complete audit and requires no elevated privileges that could affect production.
How long does it take?
Typical single-subscription assessment is 5 – 7 working days from access provisioning to final report. Multi-subscription or complex Entra ID environments extend to 10 – 14 days.
Do you use automated tools?
Yes — ScoutSuite, Prowler, Microsoft Secure Score, and Defender for Cloud outputs are inputs to our process. But tools produce noisy output; what you pay for is the manual validation, prioritisation, and business-context remediation guidance.
Do you provide a remediation plan?
Yes. Every finding is CVSS-scored with specific remediation steps, estimated effort, and where possible the exact Azure CLI / PowerShell command or Portal path to fix it. We also offer a follow-on implementation engagement if you want us to execute the fixes with your team.
Is this useful for ISO 27001 / NESA / PDPL evidence?
Yes. Our reports include scope, methodology, benchmarked controls (mapped to ISO 27001 Annex A, CIS, and relevant UAE frameworks), findings, and remediation — directly usable as audit evidence for the cloud-infrastructure controls.
Can you assess multiple tenants?
Yes. Multi-tenant engagements are scoped as separate reviews per tenant; pricing scales with tenant count and subscription counts.
