Validation and reassessment
Microsoft Azure Cloud Security Audit
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Review users, groups, roles, service principals, and access policies across Azure AD. Focus on enforcing least privilege, MFA, and conditional access.
Compliance & Governance Policies
Review Azure Policy, Blueprints, and regulatory compliance tracking (HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, etc.). Ensure tagging, cost management, and resource consistency are enforced.
Azure Security Center: Defender for Cloud
Evaluate Secure Score, threat protection, policy compliance, and alert configurations to ensure security posture management is in place.
Data Protection & Encryption
Examine encryption at rest and in transit, Azure Key Vault usage, storage account security, and backup integrity.
Monitoring & Logging
Verify that diagnostic logs, activity logs, and Azure Monitor are configured and integrated with SIEM (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel).
Azure Network Security
Assess firewalls, NSGs, ASGs, and routing. Identify exposed ports, misconfigured virtual networks, and unsecured endpoints.
