Microsoft solutions for Technology
Ship fast, stay secure, and pass the security review your customers put you through.
What this sector is dealing with
Software and technology companies move quickly, and their Microsoft estate usually reflects that: cloud native, identity heavy, and full of subscriptions someone spun up for a good reason two years ago. The security question arrives with the first enterprise customer, and it arrives as a questionnaire.
We help technology businesses get their Azure estate governed and their tenant secured to a standard that survives customer due diligence, without putting a brake on engineering.
The problems we get called in for
Customer security review
Enterprise deals stall on SOC 2 and ISO evidence that nobody has had time to build.
Azure sprawl and spend
Subscriptions and resources multiply, and the bill arrives before the governance does.
Developer velocity vs control
Guardrails have to be automatic, because anything manual gets routed around.
Secrets and identity in pipelines
Long-lived credentials in CI systems are the exposure teams find last.
What Microsoft brings to technology
The products that genuinely apply to this sector, and what each one is actually for here. Much of this sits inside licensing you may already hold.
Microsoft Azure
Landing zones with subscription design, Azure Policy as the automatic guardrail, and Defender for Cloud scoring the estate continuously. Cost management and reservations turn an unpredictable bill into a plan you can defend.
Microsoft Entra ID
Workload identities and managed identities to get long-lived secrets out of pipelines, with Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management covering the human side. Entra ID is also what your customers are asking about when they ask how you control access.
Microsoft Defender XDR
Defender for Cloud for the estate, Defender for Endpoint on developer machines, and Defender for Cloud Apps for the SaaS tools engineering adopts faster than IT can track.
Microsoft Sentinel
Central detection and the audit trail your SOC 2 auditor will ask to see, with automation handling the alerts that would otherwise eat an engineer's week.
Microsoft Purview
Classification and DLP for source code, customer data, and the intellectual property that walks out through ordinary channels.
Microsoft Copilot
GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot adopted with the permission and data governance work done first, so Copilot does not surface what should not have been shared.
Typical engagements in this sector
The projects we are most often brought in to deliver for technology, from full implementations to targeted uplifts.
Azure landing zone and governance
Subscription design, Azure Policy guardrails, and Defender for Cloud so growth inherits the controls automatically.
Azure cost and subscription optimisation
Right-sizing, reservations, savings plans, and tagging discipline, with the savings reinvested rather than absorbed.
Security evidence for customer due diligence
Controls implemented and mapped to SOC 2 or ISO 27001, so the questionnaire is answered from what exists rather than what is planned.
DevOps and workload identity
Managed identities replacing long-lived pipeline secrets, with guardrails that speed engineering up rather than slow it down.
Frameworks that shape the work
These are the frameworks and regulations we most often design against in technology. We map Microsoft controls to the framework you are actually held to, and build the evidence trail as we go rather than reconstructing it the week before an audit.
SOC 2
Trust criteria your customers test you against during due diligence. Controls have to operate over a period, not just exist on the day.
ISO 27001
The information security management standard most enterprise buyers and auditors ask for by name. It wants a system, not a set of tools.
GDPR and UK GDPR
Lawful handling of personal data, with real duties around retention, subject access, and breach notification timelines.
NIST CSF
A framework for organising security around identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Useful as the spine that other frameworks hang off.
Cyber Essentials Plus
A UK baseline that is independently tested, and increasingly a condition of winning public sector and enterprise contracts.
