Azure Security Audit Tool

Azure Security Audit Tool for Identifying Misconfigurations and Risk

Hygiara audits Azure security posture across resource configuration, Defender coverage, identity controls, network exposure, and encryption hygiene — producing prioritised findings you can act on immediately.

High

Public endpoint exposed

A management endpoint is reachable from the public internet without enough network restriction.

Impact: Increased attack surface.
Evidence: Public IP enabled.
Recommendation: Restrict access.

What Is an Azure Security Audit?

An Azure security audit evaluates whether your cloud environment has the controls, configurations, and monitoring in place to prevent, detect, and respond to security incidents.

A complete audit covers identity and access controls, network exposure, Defender for Cloud coverage, encryption posture, Key Vault access, storage public access, and security alert routing.

Common Azure Security Risks

Publicly accessible management endpoints, overprivileged identities, missing Defender plans, and unencrypted storage are among the most common findings in Azure security audits.

Many of these risks exist not because teams made poor decisions, but because configurations drift over time and there is no systematic review cadence to catch them.

Exposed management endpoints
Permanent privileged access without JIT
Inconsistent Defender for Cloud coverage
Public storage account access

How Hygiara Detects Security Issues

Hygiara runs automated checks across your Azure subscriptions aligned to the Security pillar of the Azure Well-Architected Framework and Microsoft security baselines.

Findings include severity ratings, affected resources, subscription and resource group context, evidence, impact descriptions, and remediation direction so your team can move from audit to action without rebuilding the analysis.

Security Audit Output

The audit output groups findings by domain — identity, networking, Defender coverage, encryption, and configuration — so security teams can prioritise by risk area rather than wading through an undifferentiated list.
