OFFERING OVERVIEW

What is an Azure Health Check?

Saratoga’s Azure Health Check offering is an end-to-end evaluation of your Microsoft Azure cloud environment. We assess it against the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework with a focus on security, reliability, cost-efficiency, operational excellence, and performance efficiency.

We identify what needs fixing, and give you insights into your setup’s health and efficiency. We identify areas of improvement and potential cost-savings. We want to align your cloud resources with industry best-practices, so that you enjoy optimal performance and heightened security, and maximise your Azure investment.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why You Need an Azure Health-Check

We assess your Azure environment against Microsoft’s best practices and provide a clear, prioritised action list. No guesswork. No generic advice. Just relevant insight, tailored to your setup.

Performance bottlenecks

Identify areas where latency, configuration issues or under-provisioned resources are affecting performance.

Security vulnerabilities

Detect gaps in identity management, networking, or access controls that could expose your business to risk.

Cost
inefficiencies

Analyse resource usage to uncover over-provisioned or unused services - and cut unnecessary or hidden costs.

Compliance
risks

Assess your setup against key industry standards (e.g. POPIA, ISO27001) to highlight areas of non-compliance.

Improve Performance, Uptime and Reliability

Best practice alignment

Benchmark your current environment against Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework to improve efficiency.

ACCESS & SECURITY

Security and Data Access: What You Need to Know

Scoped, read-only access. We don’t touch production data, and all access is temporary and logged, aligned to Microsoft guidance and ISO-based internal processes.

Q: What do you access during the health-check?

We use scoped, read-only access to your Azure environment. You stay in full control, we don’t make changes, and we don’t access your production data.

Q: What type of data do you see?

We assess infrastructure, configurations, usage patterns, and security posture, not customer or application data.

Q: Is the assessment secure?

Yes. All access is temporary and logged. We follow Microsoft security guidance and Saratoga’s internal ISO-aligned processes to protect your environment.
