Azure Risk Mitigation Assessment

Prevent the financial exposure of a platform compromise.

Understand, control and manage all aspects of your Microsoft Azure investment

Understand, control and manage all aspects of your Microsoft Azure investment

 

Have you noticed a spike for your Microsoft Azure consumption? Are you seeing new resources being created without your permission or knowledge?

You may be suspectable to Microsoft Azure fraud – a worldwide growing concern where unauthorised personnel create resources and ‘run-up’ your Azure bill. This criminal activity can leave partners holding a huge financial liability and facing a massive cleanup of Azure resources.

What we do

What we do

Crayon’s specialist cybersecurity subsidiary emt Distribution works with partners to deliver an Azure Risk Mitigation Assessment. This service is designed to help you and your customers, control and manage all aspects of existing 
Microsoft Azure investment (including cost). We do this by focusing on six key areas, described below.

Workload Identification

Catalogues and analyses current Azure workloads, ensuring they align with business objectives and consumption patterns. 

Security and Access Review  

Evaluates existing security posture and role-based access controls to ensure they meet best practices and  organisational requirements. 

Policy Compliance 

Compares current policy settings against Azure’s standards and specific regulatory requirements for relevant industries and sectors; identifying any gaps or misalignments. 

Change Management

Assesses change control and notification processes for implementing and configuring Azure services, ensuring they support business agility while maintaining security.

Cost Control Measures

We provide partners with a prioritised list of measures to help you control changes, reduce costs, and gain deeper visibility into your Azure resource consumption. 

Security and Consumption Scorecard

Partners receive a scorecard that benchmarks  Azure usage against best practices, offering recommendations for improvement

FAQs

Azure Fraud refers to fraudulent activities that occur within or target Microsoft’s Azure cloud services. These activities can involve the misuse or exploitation of Azure’s infrastructure, services, and resources. Fraud in Azure can take various forms, including unauthorised access, financial fraud, misuse of resources, and more. Understanding and preventing Azure fraud is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of cloud operations.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to industry standards and regulations, avoiding potential fines and penalties. 
  • Proactive Risk Management: Detects potential threats early, enabling you to address them before they impact your operations.
