Managed Security Services for Azure

Simform delivers managed security services on Azure that help organizations establish clear security ownership, governance, and continuous protection using Microsoft-native capabilities.

As Azure environments scale, security often becomes fragmented across tools, teams, and subscriptions. Organizations struggle with inconsistent policy enforcement, alert fatigue, unclear ownership, and reactive incident handling. Even with Microsoft security services in place, the absence of a unified operating model makes it difficult to maintain continuous protection, control risk, and stay audit-ready without inflating operational costs.

Simform helps organizations move from reactive, tool-centric security to a structured, operationally mature security-first model that aligns people, processes, and Microsoft-native technologies.

Our Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE)-developed Azure Managed Security Services bring together continuous monitoring, identity governance, threat detection, and compliance visibility into a single operational framework.

Security operations are managed through SimDesk for structured ITSM workflows and SimOps for cost governance, ensuring security decisions remain connected to business priorities, operational reliability, and cost accountability. Security is managed as an ongoing operational discipline rather than a collection of isolated tools.

Our Managed Azure Security Services include:

• 24×7 security monitoring and incident management through SimDesk, with severity-based SLAs and defined escalation paths
• Azure security posture management with Microsoft Defender
• Continuous compliance for GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC-aligned controls
• Threat detection and response strategy using Microsoft-native tools like Sentinel
• Identity governance with Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, and privileged access controls
• Multi-tenant Azure security management using Azure Lighthouse
• Centralized logging and alert correlation through Azure Sentinel, with automated ticket creation, SLA tracking, and structured escalation through SimDesk
• Integration of security operations with ITSM workflows through SimDesk and cost governance through SimOps
• Continuous optimization of security, cost, and performance trade-offs
• Weekly security reviews covering incident trends, SLA compliance, and recommendations for alert tuning and policy updates

As a result, organizations gain:

• Continuous security monitoring across Azure environments
• Faster detection and response with 15-minute response times for critical security incidents
• Improved governance and compliance posture
• Reduced operational risk through structured security ownership
• Scalable, repeatable security operations aligned with Azure best practices
• Post-incident root cause analysis and preventive actions to strengthen security posture over time
