Cloud Compliance
Assessment
AI-assisted infrastructure auditing against CIS Azure Foundations Benchmark v5.0. Evidence-backed findings. Resolution workflows. Delivered in days, not weeks.
What This Is
You give me read-only access to your Azure subscription. I run 79+ CIS benchmark controls against your actual configurations, collect evidence for every finding, and deliver a report with your compliance score, what's passing, what's not, and exactly how to fix it.
No agents installed. No software deployed. No modifications to your environment. Just a thorough, evidence-backed assessment of your Azure security posture.
What You Get
Compliance Score
Overall percentage plus breakdowns by category: Identity & Access, Networking, Storage, Compute, Logging & Monitoring, Security Services. You know exactly where you stand.
Control Applicability Map
Every CIS v5.0 control evaluated and marked Pass, Fail, Warning, or Not Applicable. Your score reflects your environment, not a generic checklist.
Resolution Workflows
Step-by-step remediation for every non-compliant finding. Azure CLI commands, Portal navigation, and policy recommendations. Prioritized by risk.
Evidence Package
Raw CLI output for every control evaluated. Auditor-ready. Suitable for SOC 2 evidence collection, internal governance reviews, or handing to your compliance team.
Executive Summary
One page for the people who approve budgets. Risk posture, key findings, compliance score, and what to do next. No jargon.
How It Works
Scope
30-minute call. We define the target subscriptions, agree on what's in scope, and I explain exactly what access I need. No commitment.
Access
You assign Azure Reader role (read-only) to my credentials on the target subscription(s). Temporary — you revoke when the assessment is complete.
Assessment
79+ CIS Azure Foundations v5.0 controls evaluated against your live environment through direct Azure CLI queries. Every control produces captured evidence. This isn't a questionnaire — it's a technical inspection.

Who This Is For
Mid-Market Azure Teams
Production workloads on Azure, SOC 2 or internal audit pressure, need evidence that configurations meet benchmarks without a six-figure consulting bill.
Healthcare & Financial Services
Regulated environments where CIS compliance maps to HIPAA technical safeguards or FFIEC/NYDFS requirements. Need documentation that satisfies auditors.
Pre-Audit & SOC 2 Prep
Building evidence packages for upcoming audits. CIS benchmark reports map directly to SOC 2 trust service criteria.
MSPs & Consultancies
Managing Azure for clients. Need repeatable compliance assessments across a portfolio. Volume pricing available.
Post-Migration Teams
Just moved to Azure. Need a security baseline before misconfigurations become audit findings or incidents.
Platform Engineering
Want to validate that your IaC templates and governance policies are actually producing compliant environments. Trust but verify.
Data Handling
The assessment queries Azure resource configurations via read-only access. No proprietary business data, customer records, or application data is accessed. Scope is limited to infrastructure configuration metadata — the same information visible in the Azure Portal under resource settings.
All evidence is delivered to you. Nothing is retained beyond the engagement unless otherwise agreed.
Organizations with internal policies requiring sovereign processing can contact me for premium options where all analysis occurs within a dedicated Azure boundary.
