Cloud Security Assessment I Crayon Channel APAC

Identifying threats and roadmap remediations for your digital estate

Businesses are increasingly aware that standing still is essentially going backwards when it comes to security. With greater readiness and budgets to invest in their security posture, most will turn to their service providers for advice on the right cybersecurity solutions.

Cybercrimes continue to accelerate at an unprecedented rate against organisations and the only way to minimise the risk is to continue to improve security posture.

If your customers asked you to review their Cyber security posture today, could you confidently assess vulnerabilities beyond familiar security controls? It can be difficult to be sure of what Microsoft 365 and Azure assets your clients are using, or to even be sure that what you do know is correct and complete. Add processes and policies on top, and it’s close to becoming a specialist function.

You may not have a cyber security practice ready to provide an assessment today, but you can provide an assessment service through Crayon. You maintain engagement with the customer as their trusted advisor, and benefit from a roadmap of ongoing security topics and requirements to address into the future.

What is a Crayon Cloud Security Assessment?

The Crayon Cloud Security Assessment is a through-partner service, purpose-built to gather configuration data from a Microsoft 365 tenant, Azure tenant, and if needed, on-premises as well.

We provide the technical framework and skillsets to run the process, run a workshop with you and the customer to benchmark against the CIS v8 framework, analyse findings, and create a comprehensive report, complete with actionable recommendations, such as:

What must be done immediately to secure a vulnerability
What is realistically achievable in 30 days, 3 months, 6 months
How to achieve the recommendations
Which mitigations may require assistance to undertake

The full report is provided back to our partners to help guide discussions and plan necessary actions with their customers.

A Crayon Cloud Security Assessment creates opportunities to add significant value to your customers. It reduces unrecognised risk and liability on your part as the service provider, while earning your business healthy margin along the way.

Assessment Offerings

Comprehensive analysis of Microsoft 365, endpoints, Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, EoL, software, vulnerable software, application risk, missing and/or misconfigured technical security controls and CIS v8.

Crayon Security Assessments are good business

Various organisations can run a cloud security assessment using a tool-based approach, but tools only help to industrialise the effort. It is the human expertise that differentiates our service.

We put star players on the field that gained their experience in the major leagues, running Security Operations Centre (SOC) environments for enterprise organisations.

They provide the insight that adds value to the data that tools generate. And, as a true through-partner service, you offer it, we run on your behalf.

Having a trusted third party to run the assessment on your behalf can also demonstrate your ongoing commitment to customers, by providing external validation as an additional check and balance.
