Get a clear, independent view of your cloud security and risk
A security-first assessment of your Azure estate identifying vulnerabilities, governance gaps, and optimisation opportunities, with a clear, prioritised roadmap for action.
Cloud has become critical infrastructure, but many organisations lack a clear view of risk
Security leaders are under increasing pressure to demonstrate control over cloud environments, manage compliance obligations, and prepare for AI adoption. At the same time, cloud estates continue to grow in complexity.
In many cases, organisations are operating in Azure without a clear understanding of:
Their true security posture
Gaps in governance and compliance
Where cost and inefficiencies are building
Whether their platform is ready for future investment
A security-first, expert-led assessment of your Azure environment
The Azure Cloud Readiness & Security Assessment is a structured, four-week advisory engagement that provides an independent, evidence-based view of your Azure and Dynamics environment.
We combine stakeholder workshops, technical analysis, and Azure-native tooling to assess your cloud across security, governance, architecture, and cost, benchmarking your environment against Microsoft best practices.
The outcome is a clear, prioritised roadmap to improve security, strengthen governance, and support confident cloud decisions.

Hitachi Solutions carried out an Azure Assessment as part of our cloud modernisation programme. The assessment was incredibly comprehensive and gave us a clear roadmap for how to improve, both with changes to Azure and equal focus on the ways our organisation itself needed to mature in terms of developing our people and processes.
What this enables
Reduced security and compliance risk
Improved governance and control
Greater visibility of cost and optimisation opportunities
More confident, evidence-based decision-making
A secure foundation for future cloud and AI initiatives

As the Chief Information Security Officer, I obviously had a keen interest in how this would help drive security improvement and was really impressed with how Hitachi Solutions managed to balance that requirement with those of all the other stakeholders involved across a range of teams. A pleasure to work with.”
