You moved to Azure. But did your security move with you?
Microsoft gave you the tools. But default settings aren't secure settings. If you can't tell your board exactly who has Global Admin access, what your Conditional Access policies actually enforce, or whether anyone's been poking around your tenant at 2 AM, you have a visibility problem.
Sound familiar?
THE CLOUD SECURITY GAP"We migrated to Azure, but I honestly don't know if it's configured right."
Your IT team got everything running. But "running" and "secure" aren't the same thing. Default tenant settings leave doors open that most teams never think to check.
"We have too many Global Admins and no one's auditing what they're doing."
Over-provisioned access is the number one Azure misconfiguration we find. It's not malicious — it's just how things accumulate when nobody's watching.
"Our auditor asked about our cloud security posture and I didn't have a good answer."
CIS benchmarks, NIST, ISO 27001 — the frameworks exist, but mapping your Azure tenant against them takes specialized knowledge and dedicated time your team doesn't have.
What you get.
THE REVIEWEvery item in the review exists to answer a specific question you or your auditors will ask. No filler reports. No 200-page PDFs. Here's exactly what's covered.
CISA Baseline Comparison
"Are we configured to the standard our industry expects?"
We compare your Azure tenant configuration against CISA's Secure Cloud Business Applications baselines — the same benchmarks federal agencies use — and show you exactly where you fall short.
30-Day Log Analysis
"Has anyone been in our environment who shouldn't be?"
We analyze 30 days of sign-in and activity logs looking for malicious access patterns, impossible travel events, and suspicious behavior your team might have missed.
Standardized Tenant Report
"I need one place to see everything about our Azure setup."
Applications, Devices, Global Admins, Licensing, Users, Mailbox Info, Mailbox Rules, MFA status — all documented in a clear, consistent format you can hand to leadership or an auditor.
Conditional Access Review
"Are our access policies actually doing what we think they are?"
We map every Conditional Access Policy, identify gaps and conflicts, and confirm whether your zero-trust intentions are matching your actual enforcement.
Exception Tracking & Action Report
"We made exceptions months ago and never circled back."
Every exception, every deviation, every "we'll fix that later" — tracked, documented, and surfaced so nothing falls through the cracks between reviews.
Prioritized Recommendations
"Just tell me what to fix first."
Every finding ranked by business impact and exploitability. You'll know what's critical, what's moderate, and what can wait — plus a Security Risk Identifier so you can track trends over time.
Encrypted, Secured Delivery
Your report is delivered via encrypted, secured download — never emailed as an attachment. And the DE Security Team is available for consultation to walk through every finding with you.
How often do you need this?
REVIEW CADENCEThe right frequency depends on your industry, your risk profile, and how fast your environment changes. Here's how most of our clients think about it.
Monthly
High-Risk / Regulated Industries
Healthcare, financial services, or any environment where a misconfiguration could mean a compliance violation or a breach. You need continuous visibility because your risk surface changes constantly.
- check_circle Catch drift before auditors do
- check_circle Continuous compliance evidence
- check_circle Fastest time-to-remediation
Bi-Monthly
Routine Visibility
You're not in a heavily regulated industry, but you manage sensitive data and want regular checkpoints. Your environment is moderately complex and changes at a steady pace.
- check_circle Steady-state security posture
- check_circle Good balance of cost and coverage
- check_circle Catches most configuration drift
Quarterly
Lower-Risk / Smaller Environments
You have a smaller Azure footprint, fewer users, and a relatively stable configuration. You want periodic checkpoints to make sure nothing has gone sideways.
- check_circle Cost-effective for smaller teams
- check_circle Baseline security hygiene
- check_circle Ideal starting point

Why this matters.
OUTCOMESThis isn't a checkbox exercise. Here's what changes after your first review.
Stay Compliant
Map your Azure configuration against CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001 benchmarks. When auditors come knocking, you'll have the documentation ready — not scrambling to produce it.
Reduce Risk
Misconfigurations are the number one cause of cloud breaches. We find them — over-provisioned access, missing MFA, weak Conditional Access — before an attacker does.
Gain Clarity
Every finding is explained in business terms your leadership team can act on. No jargon dumps. You'll understand exactly what's wrong, why it matters, and what to do about it.
Be Proactive
Stop reacting to incidents and start preventing them. Recurring reviews mean you catch configuration drift, new risks, and forgotten exceptions before they become headlines.

Common questions.
Straight answers about the Azure Security Review.
What access do you need to our Azure tenant? expand_more
We use read-only access with the minimum permissions required — no changes are made to your environment during the review. We'll walk you through the exact permissions before we start and remove access when the review is complete.
How long does the first review take? expand_more
The initial review typically takes 1-2 weeks from access grant to final report delivery, depending on the size and complexity of your tenant. Subsequent recurring reviews are faster because we already have your baseline.
We use Microsoft 365 but not much "Azure" beyond that. Does this still apply? expand_more
Yes. If you're using Microsoft 365, you have an Azure AD (Entra ID) tenant whether you realize it or not. That tenant controls authentication, access policies, and email security for your entire organization. This review covers all of it.
Can you help us fix what you find, or just report on it? expand_more
Both. The review includes a consultation with our security team to walk through every finding. If you need hands-on remediation help, we can scope that separately — or your internal team can follow our prioritized recommendations and we'll verify the fixes in your next review cycle.
How is this different from Microsoft Secure Score? expand_more
Secure Score is a useful starting point, but it's a generic, automated metric that misses context. We go deeper — comparing against CISA baselines, analyzing actual sign-in logs for threat activity, reviewing mailbox rules for forwarding abuse, and translating everything into business-impact terms your leadership can act on. It's the difference between a credit score and a full financial audit.
