Microsoft Cloud Security Services

Harden the controls attackers target first

Assessment & Hardening Built for Azure & Microsoft 365

Excessive permissions, legacy protocols, open sharing, and incomplete logging create real risk in Microsoft cloud. Forgepath reviews your architecture—Entra ID (Azure AD) tenants, Conditional Access, PIM, app registrations & service principals, Azure networking & workloads, Key Vault & Storage, and Microsoft 365 collaboration and data protections—then implements right-sized controls that match how you work. We emphasize least privilege, strong authentication, network isolation, data loss prevention, and end-to-end auditability.

We align to recognized guidance (Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark, CIS Benchmarks, and your sector expectations) without forcing a one-size template. Deliverables include a prioritized remediation plan, reference architectures, and optional policy/IaC examples so improvements stick.

Secure What Matters

Fortify Your Microsoft Cloud

From tenant-level identity controls to workload and data guardrails, we raise your baseline without slowing delivery.

Coverage where it matters most.

Identity (Entra ID/Azure AD): Conditional Access (MFA, device & location, risk), PIM for admin roles, app consent governance, service principal hygiene, passwordless options.
Azure Workloads: VNETs, subnets, NSGs/ASGs, Private Link, Azure Firewall/WAF, AKS/ECS equivalents, App Service & Functions, Key Vault policies, Storage (public access, SAS), SQL/MI controls.
Threat Protection: Defender for Cloud plans & recommendations, Defender for Endpoint/Identity/O365 posture, secure score tuning.
Logging & SIEM: Sentinel data connectors, M365 Unified Audit, AAD sign-in logs, Key Vault/Storage logs, alert rules and workbooks.
Microsoft 365: SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams external sharing policies, DLP & sensitivity labels (Purview Information Protection), Safe Links/Attachments, retention & legal hold.

Issues we routinely surface—and fix.

Legacy authentication still enabled; weak or inconsistent Conditional Access (gaps for service accounts, break-glass, or “trusted” networks).
Global Admin sprawl; no PIM or standing privileges for high-risk roles.
Over-permissive app registrations and long-lived client secrets; unmanaged third-party OAuth apps.
Public or overly broad Storage/Blob access, weak Key Vault access policies, secrets in code or pipelines.
Flat networks and open NSGs to the internet; missing Private Link for data services.
M365 oversharing (anonymous links, external Teams guests), no DLP or inconsistent labeling.
Incomplete telemetry—Sentinel not ingesting key logs; audit disabled or low retention.

Actionable outputs teams can adopt immediately.

Prioritized remediation plan with risk/effort mapping and owner assignments.
Reference architectures & diagrams for identity, network, workload, and data guardrails.
Policy & IaC examples: Conditional Access baselines, PIM settings, app consent policies; ARM/Bicep/Terraform samples for Key Vault/Storage/SQL; Sentinel workbooks & analytic rules.
Changelogs & validation steps to test changes safely before production.

Secure by design—collaboratively.

Access model: read-only roles and workshop sessions; your teams implement changes with our guidance.
Dev-first delivery: Git-friendly recommendations (Bicep/Terraform), staged rollouts with rollback paths, and clear owner handoffs.
Enablement: short clinics for platform/M365 admins to adopt guardrails and avoid regressions.

What helps us move fast.

Tenant/Subscription/Resource Group inventory, current Conditional Access & PIM configs.
List of critical apps, service principals, and enterprise apps with consent scopes.
Sentinel/M365 audit configuration and retention settings; key contacts for identity, platform, security, and collaboration.

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
