Security vulnerabilities and configuration risks.
You've invested in Azure to support your organisation's mission, operations, and growth. But do you know whether your Azure environment is configured securely, aligned to best practices, and making the most of the benefits available to your organisation?
Professional Advantage’s Azure Security Optimisation Assessment helps not-for-profit and education organisations understand their current Azure security posture, uncover potential risks, and identify opportunities to improve security, governance, and funding utilisation without committing to a large consulting engagement.
Is your Azure environment as secure as you think?
Many organisations inherit Azure environments that have grown over time, often without a formal review of security controls, identity configurations, privileged access, monitoring, backup strategies, or governance settings.
As a result, organisations may face:
Excessive user permissions and privileged access.
Limited visibility over security posture.
Unused Microsoft funding and Azure grant entitlements.
Challenges meeting governance and compliance requirements.
Difficulty prioritising security improvements.
Without a clear understanding of your Azure environment, it’s difficult to know where to focus your efforts.

If you choose Professional Advantage to assist with remediation activities, the assessment fee can be credited toward eligible remediation services. This means your investment directly improves your environment rather than simply producing a report.
