Secure your Microsoft Azure surface
Subscription-scope RBAC, public blob containers, and app registration secrets tracked to expiry. We don’t connect to Microsoft Azure to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Microsoft Azure goes wrong
Azure goes wrong through scope: role assignments made at subscription or management group level reach far more than the person granting them intended.
- RBAC assignments granting Owner or Contributor at subscription or management group scope
- Storage containers set to public blob or container access level
- Network security groups allowing any-to-any on RDP, SSH, or database ports
- App registrations and service principals with client secrets approaching or past expiry
- Defender for Cloud plans disabled, or recommendations dismissed without a decision record
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Microsoft Azure
On Azure we watch the two things that expire quietly — privileged role assignments and app registration secrets — alongside network and storage exposure.
- Standing privileged assignments identified and moved toward just-in-time elevation through PIM
- Client secret and certificate expiry tracked ahead of time, because an expired secret is an outage and a rushed replacement is a weak one
- Public storage exposure detected with the container, the data classification, and who changed it
- Defender findings correlated to your asset register rather than left as a portal list nobody owns
- Diagnostic settings monitored for coverage, so log gaps do not appear silently
[03] Where It Lands
Where Microsoft Azure lands in your registers
Every cloud resource we discover becomes an entry in your asset register with an owner, a criticality rating, and its data classification. Access reviews cover the IAM principals attached to it, and the risk register carries the mapping between the asset and the risks it actually carries — so a public bucket is a named risk against a named asset, not a line item in a scan report.
[04] How We Engage
On Microsoft Azure specifically
On Microsoft Azure, we correct NSG rules, close public containers, and drive secret rotation ahead of expiry. Subscription-scope RBAC redesign and PIM rollout we run as a scoped project with your identity team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Microsoft Azure FAQs
What Azure permissions does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity registers an application granted the Reader and Security Reader roles at the scope you choose, usually management group. Reader alone misses Defender findings, which is why Security Reader is included. Remediation permissions are granted separately and per action, never as a blanket Contributor assignment.
Does Konfirmity track Azure app registration secret expiry?
Yes, and it is one of the more valuable things we do here. Expiring client secrets cause outages, and outages cause rushed replacements with weaker settings. Konfirmity tracks every app registration credential and certificate against its expiry date so rotation is planned rather than reactive.
