Frequently asked questions
What is an Azure Cloud Assessment?
An Azure Cloud Assessment is a read-only evaluation of your entire Azure environment covering security posture, cost efficiency, governance maturity, IAM configuration, reliability, and observability. It produces a prioritized remediation roadmap without any operational impact.
How long does a Cloud Assessment take?
A typical assessment is completed in 6–10 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your Azure estate. We only need read-only access — no downtime or operational disruption.
Do you need admin access to my Azure environment?
No. We work with read-only (Reader) access across subscriptions. We never modify resources, change configurations, or access customer data during the assessment.
What do I get at the end of the assessment?
You receive a comprehensive technical report with findings across 6 pillars, a P1/P2/P3 prioritized remediation plan, an executive summary presentation, and a debriefing session to walk through the results and plan next steps.
