Sikich Azure Assessment powered by Microsoft

Automated Well-Architected Framework Assessment
Unpredictable cloud spend, undetected configuration drift, compliance gaps you cannot see from the inside: these are the kinds of problems that slow momentum and compound quietly. The Sikich Azure Assessment gives you instant, actionable visibility into your Azure environment’s security, cost, and performance so you can get ahead of them. 

What used to take a multi-day manual consulting engagement now takes minutes. The result is an executive-ready summary and a technical remediation playbook, both grounded in Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework and ready to act on the same day.

What a healthy Azure environment looks like

A well-managed Azure environment is not one where nothing ever changes. It is one where every change is visible, assessed against a security and compliance baseline, and either approved or remediated quickly. 

Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework defines the standard for what that looks like across five pillars: Security, Reliability, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence, and Performance Efficiency. Organizations that measure their environments against that framework consistently have fewer incidents, lower compliance overhead, and more predictable cloud costs than those that do not. 

The challenge for most mid-market IT teams is not understanding what good looks like. It is having the bandwidth to assess their own environment against that standard on a regular basis.

  • Executive Summary Report: A boardroom-ready overview of your environment’s health, risk exposure, and cost optimization opportunities. 
  • Technical Remediation Playbook: A detailed findings document with prioritized recommendations your IT team can act on immediately.
