Remote senior advisory from Europe
Azure Architecture Reviews for Regulated Teams
Senior Azure architecture advisory for platform, security, and technology-risk teams that need cloud decisions to survive audit, procurement, and production reality, delivered remotely through focused workshops and written findings.
Who this is for
Built for teams that need senior architecture judgement without adding a permanent role or opening an open-ended staffing engagement.
- → Regulated organisations preparing for audit, board scrutiny, or a customer security review.
- → Platform teams modernising Azure foundations, ingress, or API exposure.
- → Teams migrating APIM, WAF, Front Door, or Application Gateway and unsure of the target.
- → Teams that need senior architecture judgement on demand, delivered remotely, without adding a permanent hire to the payroll.
Review packages
Fixed scope, fixed fee, quoted upfront. Not open-ended staffing.
API Edge Architecture Review
Teams unsure whether APIM, Front Door, Application Gateway, WAF, and Private Link are arranged correctly for exposure, routing, and control.
Output: Reviewed edge topology, risk findings, a target pattern, and a remediation roadmap.
Typically 1–2 weeks.
APIM v2 Migration Assessment
Teams running classic API Management who need to decide whether Standard v2, Premium v2, or classic Premium is the right target before committing to a cutover.
Output: Current inventory, target-tier decision, blocker list, networking implications, and a sequenced migration plan with consumer-impact notes.
Typically 1–2 weeks.
Platform Evidence Review
Regulated teams preparing for audit, board scrutiny, or a customer security questionnaire, who need controls that can be walked back to a reason and forward to a proof.
Output: Control-to-evidence mapping across Policy, Defender, RBAC and logging, owner and exception traceability, and a board- or audit-ready summary.
Typically 2–3 weeks.
Designed for distributed teams
Engagements run through structured workshops, architecture review sessions, written findings, and decision-ready reports. Delivery is remote-first, with practical scheduling for European and adjacent international teams.
The review logic is useful wherever cloud decisions need to be explained to risk, audit, procurement, or external reviewers, whether the pressure comes from NIS2, DORA, FINMA, PRA/FCA expectations, or customer third-party risk questionnaires. A control is defensible when you can walk it backward to a reason and forward to a proof, whatever the regulator calls it.
Bring a decision you need to defend later.
A focused senior review of your Azure platform, API edge, or evidence model, delivered remotely, with written findings, a risk ranking, and a concrete roadmap.
