The Problem: Cloud Sprawl
Compliance is a checkbox; security is a standard. Most Azure environments suffer from Cloud Sprawl, a state where a lack of consistent governance leads to spiraling costs, unmanaged resources, and invisible vulnerabilities.
The Governance & Security Assessment is a diagnostic intervention designed to surface the risks hidden within your tenant. IronByte identifies where your environment falls short of enterprise standards and provides the technical specifications required to regain total control.
The Assessment Scope
We don’t just “check” your settings; we evaluate the architectural DNA of your environment to identify systemic governance failures.
- Identity & Access Control: Evaluating Entra ID (Azure AD) configurations and flagging over-privileged accounts or insecure RBAC models.
- Network Security Posture: Assessing the perimeter and internal traffic flows to identify lateral movement risks and exposure points.
- Cost Governance & Sprawl: Surfacing unmanaged resources, unauthorized deployments, and cost-drains that lack clear ownership.
- Resource Hierarchy: Analyzing Management Groups, Subscriptions, and Tagging logic to identify gaps in operational visibility.
Execution Phases
- Posture Audit I perform a deep-tier scan of your existing tenant to identify “Governance Gaps”, unmanaged identities, orphaned resources, and non-compliant configurations that threaten your security and budget.
- Strategic Gap Analysis Comparing your current posture against industry benchmarks and the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). We identify the distance between your current state and a secure, scalable operation.
- The Governance Roadmap IronByte delivers the definitive path forward. We provide the technical specifications for the policies, identity structures, and guardrails required to secure your environment.
The Work Product: What You Receive
- Security Posture Report: A blunt assessment of your current vulnerabilities, identity risks, and governance gaps.
- Identity & RBAC Matrix: A technical design specification for administrative roles and “Least Privilege” access.
- Governance Policy Roadmap: A prioritized backlog of Azure Policies and automated guardrails required to enforce compliance.
- Cost Control Strategy: Identified actions to enforce budget accountability and resource tagging standards.
Engagement Parameters
To ensure total predictability, IronByte operates on a Fixed-Fee Engagement model. No hourly billing, no hidden administrative costs, just a defined investment for a defined technical outcome.
- Timeline: Typically 10–15 business days from discovery to final delivery.
- Execution: 100% senior-level intervention (No junior shadow-staffing).
- Investment: Fixed-fee quote provided following a Technical Briefing.
- Prerequisites: Global Reader or specialized audit access to the Azure Tenant.
The Outcome: Scalable Authority
By the end of this assessment, your Azure tenant is no longer a “black box.” You gain the technical clarity required to implement security and cost-control as automated standards rather than manual tasks.
