Measurable cloud security: a baseline and a 3-phase action plan
A higher education institution relies on Microsoft Azure for its strategic data and artificial intelligence projects, and needed to clearly see the security risks of those environments.
We take on any challenge
At Zenta there are no obstacles we cannot overcome.
Challenge
As data initiatives grew rapidly, test and production environments ended up coexisting, with exposed resources, outdated access, and identities with more permissions than necessary. It was necessary to transform hundreds of scattered findings into a prioritized and easily actionable diagnostic.
Solution
We conducted a cloud cybersecurity assessment of over 1,100 resources, measured against the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark v2. We delivered a 3-phase remediation guide that the client's team can implement independently, along with a resource governance proposal including naming and labeling standards.
Results from our management
Initial Secure Score of 41%: a measurable baseline to track improvement.
11 critical findings and 32 of high severity, identified and prioritized.
31% of the findings come from identity management, with a targeted remediation plan.
Risks assigned to 4 strategic projects, with clear responsibilities.
Phased plan and governance model ready for adoption.
