Microsoft Azure & cloud security
Secure foundations for your Microsoft cloud.
Beyond licensing, we secure and extend your Microsoft cloud — protecting identities and data, managing devices, and building resilient, cost-effective infrastructure on Azure. It's how UK SMEs get enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-sized team.
What you need
What you need from your cloud — and how we deliver it
Once Microsoft 365 is in place, the next questions are about protection and control: who can get in, how data is governed, and whether your infrastructure can scale affordably. Here's what we hear most often — and exactly how Curatrix answers each one.
Identities you can trust
Assurance that only the right people reach your systems — wherever they sign in from.
How we meet it: We put Microsoft Entra ID at the centre, with multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies that check who is signing in, from what device and where — before granting access.
Defence against modern threats
Protection that spots and stops attacks across email, accounts and endpoints.
How we meet it: We deploy and tune Microsoft Defender to guard against phishing, malware and account compromise — bringing threat protection across your devices and cloud apps into one coordinated view.
Devices that stay managed
Laptops and phones that are configured, current and secure — even when staff work from anywhere.
How we meet it: With Microsoft Intune we enrol, configure and protect company and remote devices from the cloud, applying consistent standards and keeping them compliant without hands-on visits.
Data that's governed, not just stored
Knowing where sensitive information lives, who can see it and how it's protected.
How we meet it: We use Microsoft Purview to classify, label and protect sensitive data, with data-loss prevention that helps the right information stay in the right hands — and gives you evidence for audits and tenders.
Infrastructure that scales
Hosting and systems that flex with demand — without buying and babysitting hardware.
How we meet it: We host, migrate and run workloads on Microsoft Azure, designing resilient infrastructure that scales up and down with your needs and removes the burden of ageing on-premises kit.
Cloud costs under control
Confidence you're not over-provisioned — and that spend reflects what you actually use.
How we meet it: We review your environment and licences for waste and over-provisioning, then make practical recommendations for optimisation and cost management — and keep that under review as you grow.
How it works
From assessment to a secure, well-run cloud
We start by understanding what you have, then secure and optimise it. Drawing on our work assessing and hardening Microsoft tenancies, we look closely at identities, devices, data and spend — and turn the findings into a clear plan you can act on.
- A deep-dive review of your existing Microsoft tenancy
- An assessment of your security policies and posture
- A licence audit, checking suitability for your organisation
- Recommendations for optimisation and cost management
- A deployment strategy and roadmap to put it into practice
- Ongoing management of identity, devices, data and Azure
The Microsoft security stack we manage
Four pillars work together to protect your cloud — and we configure and run them as one:
- Microsoft Entra ID — identity, MFA and conditional access
- Microsoft Defender — threat protection across apps and devices
- Microsoft Intune — cloud-based device management
- Microsoft Purview — data governance and data-loss prevention
Why Curatrix
Why Curatrix for Azure & cloud security
Securing a cloud environment takes more than switching features on. It takes a partner who understands identity, data and infrastructure together — and stays accountable for keeping them protected.
Security-led specialists
We're long-standing advocates for cyber security in the SME community, focused on lifting your security posture rather than simply selling licences.
Identity-first thinking
We treat identity as the new perimeter — putting Entra ID, MFA and conditional access at the heart of how your cloud is protected.
Aligned to certification
Our assessments help organisations move towards recognised standards such as Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001, with baseline policies you can evidence.
Ongoing cost optimisation
We keep reviewing licences and Azure usage for waste, so your cloud stays right-sized and your spend stays tied to what you actually use.
One accountable partner
Identity, devices, data and infrastructure managed by a single team — so there's never a question of whose problem a gap is.
