Deliver Professional Azure Assessments in Minutes, Not Days

Automatically assess Azure environments against the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework and proven Azure best-practice checks. Surface WAF scores, failed checks, risks and improvement opportunities, then generate client-ready reports without spending days manually reviewing subscriptions.

Problem

Azure Environments Need Regular, Evidence-Based Reviews

Most Azure environments contain misconfigurations, governance gaps, policy exceptions, and architecture drift that go unnoticed until a structured review turns them into evidence stakeholders can act on.

Common Azure architecture issues

Common Azure Architecture Issues Hygiara Helps Identify

Architecture drift creating inconsistent implementation patterns
Configuration issues creating avoidable operational risk
Missing or inconsistent Azure Policy enforcement
RBAC sprawl and excessive permissions
Inconsistent landing zone implementations
Manual Azure reviews that take days and lack consistency

Solution

How Hygiara Reviews Support Azure Assurance

Hygiara runs scoped Azure reviews against WAF-aligned resource checks and/or Enterprise Scale Landing Zone checks, then produces evidence-based output you can act on immediately.

Run WAF resource checks with selectable rule sets
Add Landing Zone assessment when platform design is in scope
Consolidate duplicate signals into readable findings
Send report-ready emails with stats and download links

What Hygiara Analyses

What Can Be Included in a Hygiara Review?

Output

What You Get Back From a Review

Hygiara is built around the output, not just the scan. The review gives teams a clear scorecard, a clean findings model, and report artefacts that can move straight into stakeholder discussion.

Pillar scores

Operational Excellence, Reliability, Security, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization shown with passed-check counts and percentages.

Consolidated findings

Duplicate evidence is grouped so the app, report, and email show the same useful finding count instead of raw noisy totals.

Traceable affected resources

Affected resources stay aligned with subscription and resource group so teams can see exactly where each issue lives.

Separate report downloads

Resource assessment and Enterprise-Scale Landing Zone assessment can produce separate Word outputs when both are selected.

Report-ready email

The completion email includes generated reports, key stats, pillar scores, and download links to pull users back into the report.

Continuous review rhythm

Saved Azure connections can run scheduled scans using the selected WAF rule set, helping teams track drift over time.

Differentiation

Why not just use native Azure tools?

Generic cloud scanning tools surface issues. Hygiara turns Azure environment signals into structured reviews with findings, context, and stakeholder-ready reporting.

How It Works

Run an Azure Architecture Review in Three Steps

1. Connect your Azure environment

Save reusable read-only Azure access, discover subscriptions, and optionally enable weekly continuous scans.

2. Choose assessments and rule set

Run the resource assessment with all WAF rules or a custom rule set, and add Landing Zone assessment when platform readiness is in scope.

3. Share the output

Use the report-ready email, pillar scores, consolidated findings, and generated Word reports to move from scan results to remediation planning.

Context

What is an Azure Architecture Review?

A structured, evidence-backed review of whether your cloud environment is actually built to be secure, reliable, and cost-effective — not just whether it was built to a plan.

Resource reviews cover all five Well-Architected Framework pillars:

Reliability Security Cost Optimisation Operational Excellence Performance Efficiency

Landing Zone assessment can be included when the review also needs a platform-foundation lens.

Risk

Why it matters

Azure environments change constantly. New resources get deployed, configurations drift, and exceptions made under pressure become permanent defaults.

Without regular reviews, drift becomes visible only when it's already a problem:

  • A security incident exposes it
  • An unexpected bill flags it
  • An audit requires it

FAQ

Common questions

What is an Azure review platform?

An Azure review platform helps teams assess resource posture, governance, landing zone design, and drift through a repeatable review workflow.

What can a report include?

Reports reflect the review scope: WAF-aligned resource results, Enterprise Scale Landing Zone results, or both.

Is access secure?

Yes, Hygiara uses read-only access and does not modify your environment.
