Organizations rely on Azure as the backbone of their cloud strategy but misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and gaps in monitoring can quietly introduce significant risk. This package delivers a focused, high‑value assessment of your Azure environment, giving you clear visibility into architectural weaknesses, RBAC issues, public exposure, policy gaps, and operational blind spots. With actionable insights and a prioritized remediation plan, you gain a stronger, more resilient cloud security posture aligned with Microsoft best practices.
