Endpoint & VM Security
Virtual machines are often the most exposed part of a cloud environment. We check that every host is protected, patched, and backed up — and flag the ones that aren't.
Antivirus & Endpoint Protection
We review endpoint protection coverage across all virtual machines, including Defender for Servers enrolment status, agent health, and whether real-time protection is active. We identify VMs with no endpoint protection, outdated definitions, or agents that have stopped reporting — any of which could leave a host exposed to malware, ransomware, or fileless attacks.
Patch Management
We assess OS and application update compliance across your VM estate using Azure Update Manager. This includes identifying machines with outstanding critical or security patches, machines not enrolled in any update schedule, and any failed update deployments. Unpatched systems are one of the most common entry points for attackers.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
We review Azure Backup vault configuration, VM backup coverage, and retention policies. We identify any production VMs that are not backed up, check that backup jobs are completing successfully, and assess whether your recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) are supported by the current configuration.
