Overwatch for Azure Security

Initial Assessment: Overwatch starts with an initial security baseline assessment of your environment to build out a detailed security and business impact register addressing across your Azure environment. We first collect data from the platform, so that we can better understand what you currently have deployed, and how it can be optimised for security in the context of your threat profile and business requirements.

This information is essential for the initial security assessment, which provides our consultants with a point-in-time, baseline view of the security posture. This view acts as the starting point for your journey toward future optimisation. We also factor in the business’s short and long term plans for cloud adoption, to support the business impact prioritisation aspect of the register.

Monthly Workshops: We continually review and update the security risk and business impact register, prioritising tasks based on the changing requirements of your business and security posture. Customers have secure access the register at any time.

Through monthly governance and implementation advisory workshops with one of our Microsoft Security experts, we review the register and outline key tasks for the month ahead, which will contribute to your continuous security optimisation. This ranges from deploying inactive security solutions for which you have licenses, to understanding new functionality and updates within Azure that impact your posture, and more. In addition, we will guide you through the best approach for progressing deployment in a safe and controlled process, providing assistance where needed.

Monthly Reports: The service also includes a detailed monthly report highlighting progress, identifying key priorities, the level of criticality addressed, and the impact this will have on the business, as well as month-to-month trend analysis illustrating tasks completed and new ones added.

Overwatch better enables your security team to communicate the value of the business’s investment in Azure security at board level and demonstrate successful cloud onboarding with a constant security focus.
