Managed Azure Services — Governance, Administration & Cost Oversight

Azure is the primary platform IT KORR operates given its Microsoft 365 integration depth, though hybrid environments involving other cloud platforms can be scoped on a case-by-case basis.

Azure Policy enforces configuration rules across your subscriptions — for example, requiring encryption or blocking public storage access — and is central to preventing the configuration drift that accumulates in ungoverned cloud environments.

Through reservation and savings plan alignment, right-sizing analysis against actual utilization, and identification of idle or orphaned resources — reviewed on a recurring cadence rather than a one-time cleanup.

Yes. Azure's platform redundancy protects against infrastructure failure, not against accidental deletion, corruption, or ransomware. Customer-side backup and recovery validation is a separate, necessary layer.

Role-Based Access Control governs who can access and modify which Azure resources. Ungoverned RBAC assignment is one of the most common sources of over-permissioned access in cloud environments.

Migration planning and execution can be scoped as part of a broader cloud infrastructure engagement, typically following an assessment of current infrastructure and target-state architecture.

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is cloud-native and integrates directly with Microsoft 365 and Azure resource access, requiring its own governance model distinct from — though often synchronized with — on-premises Active Directory.

Configuration drift is the gradual divergence of actual resource configuration from the intended baseline, typically from manual changes made outside of governed processes. Azure Policy and scheduled configuration reviews are used to detect and remediate it.

Yes — hybrid connectivity design, including ExpressRoute and VPN configuration, is a core part of cloud infrastructure engagements for organizations that are not fully cloud-native.

Documented access controls, configuration baselines, and backup validation in Azure directly support the technical control requirements of SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST CSF assessments.

Managed Azure Services governs workloads running on Azure — identity, configuration, cost, and backup validation for a platform you don't own the hardware for. Managed Private Cloud (Infrastructure Hosting) is IT KORR's own isolated virtual environment, where IT KORR provisions and owns the underlying virtualization platform. Organizations already committed to Azure fit Managed Azure Services; organizations that want managed infrastructure without a specific public cloud platform fit Managed Private Cloud.

Ongoing administration of your Azure environment — subscription and resource governance, identity and access management, configuration baselines and drift detection, cost oversight, and backup validation — delivered as a continuous operating relationship rather than a one-time setup project.
