Azure Security Posture Assessment
Simform LLC
For organizations with growing Azure footprints especially CISOs and security teams preparing for audits or evaluating deeper Microsoft security investments security responsibilities are often fragmented, creating limited visibility into overall cloud risk and a need for a clear, actionable view of Azure security posture.
Scope & Stakeholder Alignment: Define in-scope subscriptions, environments, and critical workloads; identify key stakeholders (Security, Infra, Compliance).
Identity & Access Review: Evaluate Entra ID configuration, MFA, Conditional Access, PIM, and role assignments. Infrastructure & Network Security Review: Assess NSGs, Azure Firewall, WAF, private endpoints, and segmentation patterns. Workload Protection & Data Security: Review Defender for Cloud coverage, encryption practices, backup/DR, and data protection controls. Findings & Roadmap: Summarize risks and map them to a prioritized remediation and investment roadmap.
Deliverables:
- Security posture assessment report with risk ratings leveraging Azure services
- Findings catalog mapped to best practices and standards for Azure
- Prioritized remediation roadmap (quick wins vs strategic initiatives).
- Executive summary for leadership and board-level communication.
