Representative Azure security engagements we've delivered for UK businesses across financial services, healthcare, and regulated sectors.
FCA-Regulated Wealth Manager — Azure Tenant Hardening
A full Azure security assessment for a London-based FCA-regulated wealth manager with £2bn AUM. We reviewed their Azure tenant, Entra ID conditional access, and Defender for Cloud configuration against CIS benchmarks and FCA SYSC requirements.
Identified 47 misconfigurations including 3 critical privileged access gaps. Remediation completed in 2 weeks — passed their next FCA audit with zero security findings.
NHS Supplier — Azure Compliance & Data Protection Review
An Azure security and GDPR review for a healthcare software supplier hosting patient data on Azure. We assessed data residency, encryption, key management (Key Vault), and network isolation against NHS DSPT and UK GDPR requirements.
Achieved NHS DSPT compliance and resolved 12 data protection gaps. Enabled the client to win a 3-year NHS contract worth £1.2m.
Multi-Tenant SaaS — Azure Security Architecture Redesign
A security architecture review for a UK SaaS company serving 400+ business customers. We redesigned their Azure landing zone, implemented Azure Policy guardrails, deployed private endpoints, and hardened their multi-tenant isolation model.
Eliminated 6 critical cross-tenant data exposure risks and reduced Azure security alerts by 80% through proactive posture management.
