Project details

Are you a small business leveraging Microsoft’s cloud services but concerned about security? Our specialized security audit, grounded in zero-trust framework principles, is designed precisely for small cloud-native businesses with these concerns.

The zero-trust approach assumes that threats could exist both within a corporate environment and while working remotely on personal devices, necessitating a robust verification process for every access request. Our comprehensive audit aims to identify potential vulnerabilities, ensuring your cloud environment is fortified against breaches and unauthorized access.

We focus on:

Identity and Access Management: Evaluating user roles, access permissions, and conditional access policies.

Endpoint Security: Reviewing device management policies to protect against endpoint vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security standards.

Data Protection: Analyzing data encryption practices, secure data transfer protocols, and data loss prevention (DLP) measures to safeguard sensitive information.

Microsoft Apps Security: Ensuring secure configurations for Microsoft 365 apps to protect against data breaches and unauthorized access.

Pembroke Pines, United States - 4:45 pm local time
A visionary and strategic Cloud Solutions Architect with an extensive background with various Microsoft cloud technologies and driving the overall vision, architecture, execution, and delivery strategy for mission-critical systems and platforms. I am adept at partnering with key stakeholders to identify process improvement and structuring implementation procedures to resolve tricky business and technical challenges.

I'm a certified Azure Architect with over 17 years of experience in the medical and transportation, and logistics fields within Fortune 500 companies and startups. This experience includes architecting and implementing device management solutions to manage Windows 10 devices using the modern, cloud-based solution Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune). I've also architected cloud-based system integration solutions using the latest integrated-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) technologies from Azure.

I have extensive experience onboarding organizations looking to leverage Intune for the management of corporate and personal devices. Areas of expertise include:

-Deep knowledge of the critical configurations required in Azure Active Directory and Intune to support device enrollment during provisioning

-Configuration to support Windows Autopilot when provisioning devices from vendors

-Experience with installation and management of Microsoft 365 apps and the software security profiles required to implement a robust data loss prevention strategy

-Knowledge of the Microsoft-recommended Windows 10 configuration settings to ensure an Enterprise-grade device for the organization. These settings are based on the Security Baseline profile provided by Intune

-Utilization of Compliance Policy Profiles to check the security health of devices by ensuring specific settings and software are enabled. Standard settings require Bitlocker, secure boot, code integrity, antivirus, antispyware, Microsoft Defender, and real-time protection to be enabled. Configuration of Actions to revoke access to corporate systems for non-compliant devices.

-Leverage Windows 10 Update Ring Profiles to ensure devices get the latest security updates and features quickly without interruption to user productivity

I also have extensive experience with Azure integration solutions based on modern REST-based microservices and API architectures. My architected solutions have leveraged event-based architectures that take advantage of messaging strategies and patterns, such as establishing an Enterprise Service Bus and API gateway. I have participated in various ERP migration projects looking to leverage Azure integration Platform-as-a-Service solutions as the middleware.

For any modern cloud architecture to be successful, it must consider how DevOps principles and automation factor into the design. I have extensive experience in leveraging DevOps best practices and infrastructure-as-code tools to automate Azure components' deployment and configuration. I've also worked with open-source DevOps tools like Hashicorp's Terraform to deploy Azure infrastructure and have expert-level experience with Windows PowerShell.
