Cloud and platform teams need clear visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments to stay ahead of threats, reduce exposure, and manage risk with confidence.

SCC’s Cloud Security Pathfinder is a professional services engagement designed to help customers get started with, or extend their use of, Microsoft Azure security services. Through specialist guidance, practical assessment, and tailored recommendations, SCC helps customers understand their current Azure security posture, identify priority risks, and build a clear roadmap for improving protection across their cloud workloads.

The engagement leverages Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Security capabilities including Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Defender Portal, Cloud Security Posture Management, Microsoft Defender for Servers, Defender for Containers, Defender for Databases, Defender for Storage, Defender for App Service, Defender for AI Services, and Security Exposure Management. SCC uses these services to assess cloud resources, surface misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, prioritise exposure, and translate findings into actionable next steps aligned to the customer’s security and compliance goals.

By attending this engagement, you will:

• Identify real threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations across your Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environment

• Understand how to accelerate adoption and extend the value of Microsoft Azure security services

• Document your security strategy for key stakeholders

• Map identified threats to actionable recommendations tailored to your security and compliance goals

What to expect

• A pre-engagement call and kick-off meeting to align on scope and priorities

• Engagement set-up, data collection, and guided exploration across your cloud environment

• A results presentation to review findings, priorities, and recommended next steps

• A five-week engagement requiring around 4 hours of customer time

During the Cloud Security Pathfinder, SCC requires just 4 hours of your time across 5 weeks. In that time, SCC’s Azure security specialists work with your team to review your environment, interpret findings from Microsoft Azure security services, validate areas of exposure, and help you define practical next steps to strengthen your cloud security posture.
