Microsoft 365 & Azure Security Assessment
You cannot defend an architecture you haven't audited.
Whether you just inherited a new environment, are executing M&A due diligence, or need to pass a strict compliance audit, Cloudskope delivers deep, independent validation of your Azure and M365 exposure—delivered in days, not months.
The Danger of Unverified Cloud Infrastructure
Most Microsoft environments grow organically over years, touched by dozens of different IT admins.
The result is "Configuration Drift"—a tangled web of legacy protocols, over-privileged users, and shadow IT.
Here is the operational uncertainty our assessments eliminate.
Inherited Technical Debt
For newly appointed IT leaders, operating without a baseline is dangerous. We map the exact technical debt, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities left behind by previous admins so you know exactly what you are managing.
The "Microsoft Secure Score" Illusion
Basic automated dashboards miss context. We go deeper than default checklists, actively hunting for bypassed MFA policies, legacy authentication gaps, and dangerous third-party app integrations.
Unseen Identity Exposure
We identify where incident escalation, ownership, and decision authority are unclear across leadership, IT, operations, legal, communications, and external vendors.
Compliance & Insurance Blind Spots
We map your M365 and Azure configurations directly against strict frameworks like NIST, CMMC, and cyber insurance mandates, ensuring you can pass external audits with absolute confidence.
M&A Due Diligence Risks
For Private Equity and enterprise buyers, we provide rapid, independent cloud assessments of acquisition targets, ensuring you don't absorb massive cyber liabilities during a merger.
Wasted Premium Licensing
We identify where you are paying for high-tier E5 security features that your team has failed to configure, helping you justify ROI while strengthening your defense.
Deep Visibility, Actionable Intelligence
Traditional consulting audits take months of manual interviews and spreadsheets. We utilize advanced, read-only scanning methodologies to securely ingest millions of data points from your tenant in minutes.
Our certified analysts then translate that data into actionable, executive-level intelligence.
Identity & Entra ID Analysis
Audit the modern perimeter.
We analyze your Conditional Access policies, MFA enforcement gaps, and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) setups to ensure identities cannot be hijacked.
Attackers don't break through firewalls anymore; they log in. If your Entra ID is misconfigured, a single compromised password can grant an adversary total control over your cloud environment.

M365 Tenant & Mailbox Security
Lock down collaboration and communication.
We inspect Exchange Online configurations, anti-phishing policies, and hidden mailbox forwarding rules to detect existing compromises and harden against BEC attacks.
Business Email Compromise is the most financially devastating cyber threat today. If forwarding rules and phishing policies aren't locked down, attackers can silently siphon sensitive data and intercept wire transfers.

Azure Infrastructure & Network Audit
Expose misconfigured compute and storage.
We audit your Azure Virtual Machines, network security groups, and storage blob configurations to ensure your cloud infrastructure is not inadvertently exposed to the public internet.
A single misconfigured Azure storage blob or open network port can expose millions of customer records. You need absolute certainty that your compute resources are invisible to unauthorized external scanners.

Data Sprawl & Shadow IT Review
Track where your sensitive data lives.
We evaluate Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive external sharing settings, assessing how data is protected and uncovering unsanctioned third-party applications connected to your tenant.
Employees constantly share files externally or connect unsanctioned apps to their M365 accounts for convenience. This creates massive data leakage risks that bypass your standard security controls entirely.

Executive Risk Translation
Bridge the gap between IT and the Board.
We evaluate the aggregated technical vulnerabilities and translate them into clear, boardroom-ready business impacts, allowing executives to understand their true financial and operational exposure.
Boards and PE investors do not understand technical jargon. To secure budget or pass due diligence, you must translate Azure misconfigurations into clear financial, legal, and operational risks.

The Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
Exact steps to secure your environment.
We score and triage every identified vulnerability based on actual exploitability, mapping them into a phased execution plan that aligns with your IT team's bandwidth and capabilities.
An audit without an execution plan is just a list of problems. You need a prioritized, tactical roadmap so your IT team doesn't waste time fixing low-level issues while critical vulnerabilities remain exposed.

The Cloudskope Assessment Advantage
We don't believe in bloated consulting timelines or academic reports.
Our assessment methodology is designed to provide maximum visibility with zero operational friction.
Unmatched Assessment Speed
Traditional audits take months of manual interviews. By utilizing advanced discovery telemetry, we ingest thousands of data points in minutes, delivering your completed baseline in a fraction of the time.
Zero Operational Disruption
Our discovery process relies entirely on 100% read-only API access. We do not alter configurations, install heavy agents, or disrupt your employees' daily Microsoft 365 workflows.Caption: Frictionless Discovery
Board-Ready Translation
A spreadsheet of 1,000 Azure misconfigurations is useless to a CFO. We translate technical vulnerabilities directly into financial and operational risks so leadership can make informed decisions.
Tactical Execution Plans
We don't just point out your flaws and walk away. Every assessment concludes with a prioritized, step-by-step remediation roadmap that your IT team can execute immediately.
When to Commission an Asessment
Assessments are driven by transition. If your organization is facing any of the following scenarios, you need an independent baseline immediately.
New IT Leadership
ou just took over as CISO or IT Director and need an independent baseline of the environment before you accept responsibility for its security.
Mergers & Acquisitions
ou are executing technical due diligence and need to validate the security posture of a target company's cloud before integration.
Cyber Insurance Renewal
Your carrier requires proof of MFA enforcement, data governance, and secure cloud configurations to underwrite your policy.
Pre-MDR Deployment
You are preparing to deploy 24/7 Managed Detection & Response and need to clean up and harden your tenant before onboarding.
What Happens Next
Every engagement is scoped to your environment, priorities, and the level of support you need after findings are delivered.
We help clients assess readiness, fix what matters, and improve resilience over time.
