What's inside

Practical checks, not theory

  • Identity first

    Mandatory MFA, Conditional Access, PIM and break-glass accounts, in the order to tackle them.

  • Governance and guardrails

    Management groups, Azure Policy and tagging that make the secure path the default.

  • Network exposure

    How to find every public endpoint, with a Resource Graph query you can run today.

  • Data protection

    Key Vault, secrets, and immutable backups that survive a compromised administrator.

  • AI and agent identities

    Least privilege for Copilot Studio and Foundry agents with Microsoft Entra Agent ID.

  • A 90-day plan

    What to do in weeks 1 to 2, 3 to 6 and 7 to 12, plus a monthly and quarterly review rhythm.

Who it's for

  • IT managers and CTOs at small and mid-sized organizations
  • Teams running Azure without a dedicated security operations team
  • Anyone preparing for an audit or cyber insurance renewal
