Security & compliance
Failed an audit - or facing one? Findings fixed in code, with evidence.
Audit-driven Azure security and compliance remediation for regulated environments. The usual trigger is a failed or upcoming audit: we turn the findings into a risk-scored plan, fix them in Terraform and pipelines with a full evidence trail, and keep you compliant between audits.
How it’s packaged
Three stages. Each one stands alone.
01
Security Controls Assessment
Fixed scope · 2-3 weeks
A gap analysis of your Azure estate against the thing that actually triggered the work - your audit findings, or SOX ITGC, ISO 27001 Annex A, and DORA control sets. Identity, privileged access, Conditional Access, Key Vault, Defender, logging, and the pipelines that change them.
- Risk-scored remediation plan, ordered by exposure and audit impact
- Effort estimate per finding, so remediation can be budgeted honestly
- Evidence requirements per control - what an auditor will ask for, captured up front
02
Remediation Sprints
Delivery · 10-day blocks
The plan delivered in Terraform and CI/CD pipelines - Entra ID, PIM, Conditional Access, Key Vault, Defender for Cloud. Every change reviewed, merged through your branching process, and traceable: what changed, when, why, and which control it satisfies.
- Findings remediated as reviewed, merged infrastructure-as-code
- Azure Policy guardrails that keep fixed things fixed
- An auditor-ready evidence pack closing out each block
03
Continuous Compliance
Retainer
Compliance decays between audits - access accumulates, policies drift, scores slip. A standing cadence keeps the posture you paid for: reviewed, evidenced, and ready before the auditor asks.
- Quarterly access reviews with documented outcomes
- PIM and Conditional Access drift checks against the agreed baseline
- Defender for Cloud secure score reporting with trend and commentary
- Pre-audit readiness checks ahead of each cycle
