Security is one of the most important aspects of any architecture. The Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Security survey is complemented with a technical scan of your cloud environment.

To evaluate these security controls we follow security recommendations, reference architectures & security frameworks from organizations such as Microsoft, CIS Control Framework, MITRE Framework etc.
