ANS Security Check
ANS Group Limited
As organisations modernise their Microsoft cloud and security platforms, the challenge is no longer basic protection or visibility. Instead, the focus shifts to ensuring security posture, resilience, tooling, and operating models can scale with rapid change, regulatory pressure, and evolving threats.
ANS Security Check is a consultancy-led assessment designed to help organisations strengthen the security of their Microsoft Azure environment. Our security specialists review your Azure estate, identify security risks, configuration gaps, and governance challenges, and provide prioritised recommendations to help you enhance your Azure security posture, improve compliance alignment, and maximise the value of your Microsoft Azure investment.
Who Is It For?
Security Check is ideal for organisations that:
Have already modernised their Microsoft cloud and security estate
Are using or planning to adopt Microsoft cloud, data, and AI services at scale
Want confidence that their security model can support rapid digital change
Need reassurance that governance, resilience, and compliance remain strong
Are looking to optimise existing security tooling rather than add complexity
Want a clear, independent view of current security maturity and next‑step priorities
It is particularly valuable for organisations moving from optimisation to leadership, where security must become an enabler of innovation rather than a constraint.
What the Engagement Covers
Security Check delivers a comprehensive review of your current Azure security environment, focusing on four core areas:
Security Posture – We’ll assess how effectively risk is being reduced across Microsoft Azure platforms and data, providing insight into the maturity and effectiveness of your current Azure security controls.
Resilience - Your ability to detect, respond to, and recover from disruption is reviewed to ensure your environment can withstand modern threats and operational challenges.
Tooling Effectiveness – we’ll validate whether your existing Azure security tooling and platforms are delivering the intended value, identifying overlaps, gaps, and opportunities for simplification.
Security Operations & Operating Model - the assessment reviews how well your current security operating model supports modern, digital ways of working and scales alongside business change.
