The problem

Sprawling estates, sensitive data, stretched teams.

Health organisations run some of the most complex Azure estates in the country: multi-subscription sprawl accumulated over years, clinical and corporate workloads side by side, integration with legacy systems that predate the cloud, and security teams stretched across all of it.

The consequence is a visibility gap. Without tenant-wide Defender coverage, centralised logging, and hardened identity, nobody can honestly answer "are we exposed" until an incident answers it for them. Health data makes that an unacceptable way to find out.


How we deliver

Security first, sustainably run.

Tenant-wide protection

Defender for Cloud across every subscription, Sentinel with the connectors that matter, and vulnerability management wired into the operating rhythm, not bolted on after.

Identity hardening

Entra ID baselines with PIM, conditional access as code, and the standing-privilege cleanup that most estates need before anything else is meaningful.

Guardrails as code

Azure Policy baselines covering encryption, diagnostics, location, and exposure, deployed by pipeline with an auditable catalogue. Data sovereignty enforced by policy, not by promise.


Proof

A 12-month state health security programme.

The pattern from that programme, tenant-wide protection, hardened identity, and guardrails as code, is repeatable. It is the same defence-in-depth architecture we deliver into government and financial services, tuned for the specific sensitivity of health data.
