Unlock cost savings and reduce risk, without compromising performance, security or long-term scalability.
Many Azure environments, whether initially well-planned or rapidly adopted, can face challenges such as rising costs, poor governance and security risks that threaten compliance, resilience, and long-term growth. The promise of the cloud — fast, efficient, scalable — often gets lost in complex, fragmented setups and unused tools. And when gaps are exploited, the impact isn’t just technical; it can affect your bottom line, breach regulations and damage your reputation.
Without a clear plan, your Azure setup slowly drifts. What should be an asset becomes a liability. But here’s the good news: with the right support, you can regain control and lay the foundations for a more secure, scalable and efficient platform that drives both operational efficiency and business growth.
At Cloud Essentials, we simplify the complexities of Azure. As a trusted long-time Microsoft Partner for Cloud Security, we combine strategic advice with hands-on expertise to help you optimise, secure and strengthen your Azure environment. We
have extensive knowledge of Azure, Microsoft Purview (a tool that helps you manage and oversee data across your organisation), and the whole Microsoft 365
ecosystem. We deliver joined-up thinking and consistent support – without the stress.
Whether you’re looking for honest advice or end-to-end implementation, we work with you at your pace. Our expert guidance will bring you real savings and cloud decisions that work for you. We’ll help you cut waste, take back control, and get the full value from Azure. No more paying for features you don’t need.
We assess your current environment and define a phased roadmap based on your business goals. Our strategy ensures performance, security, and cost-efficiency are baked in from the start.
Wherever you are on your Azure journey, we’ll help you take stock, pinpointing what’s working, what’s holding you back, and the next steps to address what matters most:
Cost Optimisation Assessment
Cost optimisation that pays for itself
The Challenge: Past lift-and-shift migrations and Azure’s complex pricing model often result in uncontrolled spend. Without visibility or strategy, costs escalate rapidly.
Our Solution: We deliver a comprehensive cost optimisation assessment that identifies quick wins and long-term savings. With expert support included, you’ll see real results fast.
Azure Security Posture Assessment
Security that stands guard 24/7
The Challenge: As your environment scales, critical foundational steps can be overlooked or requirements may shift, exposing you to risk.
When Azure is rolled out in a hurry, important steps are often missed from patching and permissions to basic security controls. These oversights can leave your environment open to risk.
Our Solution: We carry out a thorough Azure Security Posture Assessment to uncover weaknesses, identify compliance gaps, and then help you fix issues that make the biggest difference.
You’ll get a clear, prioritised action plan and expert support throughout, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing your environment is protected and under control.
We work closely with your internal teams to design secure, scalable solutions tailored to your requirements. Every deployment is shaped around governance and compliance, built to evolve with your organisation.

Once you’re live, we don’t disappear. Our proactive support services monitor, manage, and continuously improve your Azure environment, ensuring optimal performance, reduced risk, and lasting value.
Managing data effectively is critical for security, compliance, and operational efficiency. Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive solution that helps organisations gain insights into their data across on-premises, cloud and third-party platforms. We assist organisations in implementing Microsoft Purview to discover, classify and track their data, ensuring visibility and control over sensitive information, strengthening compliance, and reducing risk.
Building on our Data Governance Programme for deploying Microsoft Purview in a Microsoft environment, this is a natural progression. We can also help to deploy Microsoft Purview to manage data across a broader range of environments, including hybrid and multi-cloud setups. This extension ensures that your data governance strategy is comprehensive and adaptable to your evolving needs. We offer a robust framework that supports your organisation’s compliance and regulatory requirements.
Our solutions are easy to manage and scale, without unnecessary complexity or overheads.
Built with tomorrow in mind, your Azure environment is ready to grow without constant redesign.
From the initial workshop to final deployment, security is embedded – not bolted on as an afterthought.
We help you reduce spend without sacrificing performance, availability, or governance.
