The problem
Azure becomes risky when nobody clearly owns day-to-day operations
Many businesses build quickly on Azure, but the operational model often lags behind the platform.
- ✗Alerts exist but nobody trusts them
- ✗Costs increase without clear ownership
- ✗Security recommendations pile up
- ✗Backups and recovery are not regularly tested
- ✗Governance policies are inconsistent
- ✗Internal teams are too busy shipping product
- ✗Compliance evidence is difficult to produce
- ✗Azure changes are made without enough review
- ✗Incidents depend on one or two key people
