Azure Security Assessment – by NIST 800-53

Visionet's Azure Security Assessment service is designed to empower organizations by providing valuable insights into the security posture of their Azure resources. We leverage the expertise of our skilled Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) professionals and industry-standard best practices outlined in NIST 800-53 Rev 4.

Our service combines the expertise of seasoned GRC professionals with the comprehensive security standards of NIST 800-53 Rev4. We perform a detailed assessment and analysis of your Azure environment, identifying potential gaps such as vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses. This allows us to offer tailored recommendations for strengthening your security posture and achieving regulatory compliance.

Our methodology includes:

• Scoping: Define the scope of the assessment, identifying the Azure resources and services to be evaluated.


• Documentation Review: Gather and review relevant documentation, including Azure architecture diagrams, system documentation, security controls documentation, and existing security policies and practices.


• Controls Mapping & Gap Analysis: Map NIST 800-53 Rev4 – FedRamp/High-security controls to corresponding Azure security controls and services. Perform gap analysis by comparing the existing controls and configurations with the requirements of NIST 800-53 Rev 4 – FedRamp/High.


• Review of Existing Vulnerability Assessment & Configuration Audits: Review vulnerability assessment reports and configuration audit outcomes for the Azure environment.


• Remediation Planning & Implementation: Provide remediation steps based on the prioritized gaps from the assessment report, along with guidance to implement security controls, configuration changes, and policy updates to align with NIST 800-53 rev 4 requirements.

Upon completion, we deliver an Azure Infrastructure Security Assessment report and detailed remediation steps according to the identified gaps.

Our security assessment report aids organizations in improving their security posture, protecting data, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. For more information, please refer to our supporting documentation
