Cloud & Microsoft 365 Security Assessment

Most cloud breaches start with configuration, not exotic exploits: an identity with too much access, a sign-in without multi-factor authentication, logging that was never switched on. We assess your estate against recognised baselines and give you a short, ranked plan to close what matters.

Talk to us about this

Who it is for

Organisations on AWS, Azure or Microsoft 365 that want an outside view before an audit, a funding round, a security questionnaire or a cyber insurance renewal.

What is included

  • Identity and access: administrator accounts, multi-factor authentication, conditional access, roles and privilege
  • Logging, monitoring and alerting coverage
  • Data exposure: public storage, sharing settings and external access
  • Network and perimeter configuration
  • Backup and recovery readiness
  • Benchmarking against CIS and NCSC guidance

What you get

  • An executive summary for leadership
  • A ranked findings register with the fix for each
  • A remediation plan you can run yourselves, or that we can deliver
