Security Navigator
ANS Group Limited
In an era of accelerated digital transformation and AI adoption, security has become a strategic enabler of growth rather than a technical control. The adoption of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft AI services, and Copilot introduces new data exposure, identity risk, regulatory obligations, and operating models that materially change an organisation’s risk, cost, and governance profile.
ANS’ Security Navigator provides executive‑level clarity at this critical point of inflection. It establishes a clear understanding of where your organisation is today, where it needs to go, how it will get there, and the true cost of change. By translating complex Microsoft security and technology considerations into a business‑ready strategy, roadmap, and investment case, Security Navigator enables leaders to adopt AI and cloud capabilities with confidence — accelerating value while maintaining control, cyber resilience, and trust.
Who Is It For?
Security Navigator is ideal for organisations that:
Operate with legacy or complex security and infrastructure estates and need clarity on a modern, Microsoft‑aligned security strategy
Lack a clear, business‑ready security approach aligned to Microsoft Azure, Data, AI, SASE, Business Applications, or Copilot
Need to understand current their security posture, risk, and maturity before making major transformation or investment decisions
Want a prioritised and achievable roadmap for modernising security platforms.
Require confidence in governance, operating model, and architectural direction for Microsoft cloud and AI adoption
Must justify security investment through a robust business case, TCO modelling, and cost‑of‑change visibility
Have limited internal capacity to translate security tooling and platform complexity into executive‑level decisions
Need board‑ready outputs that enable progression into delivery, transformation, or managed services
What the Engagement Covers
The Security Navigator delivers a comprehensive, business‑ready assessment of your current security landscape and builds a clear plan for modernising security across four key areas.
Security Readiness & Business Case – we’ll asses your existing Microsoft security tooling, Azure infrastructure, identity services, AI operations, licensing, and operational costs.
Security Tooling Suitability - through structured discovery and workshops, we’ll evaluate gaps in security coverage across identity, data, cloud, and AI workloads and identify opportunities to consolidate and modernise security tooling to improve protection, reduce cost, and simplify operations.
Target Security Architecture – we’ll design a high‑level target security architecture, covering security tooling providing appropriate protection and coverage across Microsoft cloud services, Identity and access management aligned to Microsoft best practice and governance, compliance, and risk management.
Security Transition Plan & Operating Model - A clear, actionable transition plan is produced, including a high‑level security transformation timeline, key phases and critical dependencies, required team skills and a recommended operating model for a future modern security environment.
