Azure Quick Check

Assess FinOps, permissions, and policy compliance in your Azure environment. Identify savings, establish governance.

Your Azure Bill Is Rising — and Nobody Knows Why


Azure environments in mid-market companies grow fast: new VMs, storage accounts, app services. But who checks if resources are right-sized? Who controls which roles are assigned? Who ensures policies are enforced?


In most environments: nobody systematically. The result: 20-40% of Azure spend is wasted — through oversized VMs, forgotten resources, missing reservations, and no tagging. Add security gaps: too many owner roles, no least-privilege strategy, missing policy compliance.


All tools for a structured assessment are included in Azure at no cost: Cost Management, Advisor, RBAC, Policy. All that is missing is systematic evaluation and a concrete action plan.

ACTIVITIES IN DETAIL

DELIVERABLES

  • FinOps analysis: Azure Advisor cost recommendations, savings plans, reservations, orphaned resources

  • Tagging assessment: consistency, missing tags, cost attribution capability

  • Budget alerts and cost allocation review

  • RBAC audit: privileged roles, least privilege, group-based assignment, stale assignments

  • Policy compliance: non-compliant resources, enforcement mode, tagging policies, allowed locations

  • Azure Advisor Score as baseline (reliability, security, performance, cost, operational excellence)

  • Prioritized action plan: quick wins (0-30 days) and strategic recommendations (30-90 days)

  • FinOps analysis: Azure Advisor cost recommendations, savings plans, reservations, orphaned resources

  • Tagging assessment: consistency, missing tags, cost attribution capability

  • Budget alerts and cost allocation review

  • RBAC audit: privileged roles, least privilege, group-based assignment, stale assignments

  • Policy compliance: non-compliant resources, enforcement mode, tagging policies, allowed locations

  • Azure Advisor Score as baseline (reliability, security, performance, cost, operational excellence)

  • Prioritized action plan: quick wins (0-30 days) and strategic recommendations (30-90 days)

  • FinOps Report: Cost analysis with identified savings potential and concrete measures

  • RBAC Audit: Documented role analysis with least-privilege recommendations

  • Policy Compliance Report: Compliance status of all subscriptions with non-compliant resources

  • Advisor Baseline: Documented Advisor Score with prioritized recommendations

  • Action Plan: Quick wins and strategic improvements — immediately actionable

  • Complete Project Documentation: All findings and recommendations documented without gaps, audit-ready

3 steps. From start to finished project

How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO

STEP 1

Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment

Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.

STEP 2

Receive your plan and start implementation

Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.

STEP 3

Guided implementation through to completion

Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.

The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.

M365 Tenant Readiness

Microsoft 365

Security

Problem: Misconfigurations in the tenant lead to security gaps, licensing issues, and compliance risks.

Scope: Review global settings in Admin Center and Entra ID - Validate Entra Connect (users/groups/devices/writeback) - Consistent UPN strategy and hardening of admin accounts - Onboard domains, assess DNS and network access

Result: A stable, license-compliant M365 tenant as a reliable foundation for all subsequent projects.

Icon
Conditional Access

Microsoft 365

Security

Problem: Uncontrolled access is a primary risk — MFA and Conditional Access protect identities.

Scope: Gather requirements per user group - Policies for user risk, location, device/platform, and apps - Block legacy authentication, activate session controls - Structured rollout: Report-Only → Pilot → Go-Live

Result: Verifiably secured access with clear policies and high usability.

Defender for Office 365

Microsoft 365

Security

Problem: Phishing and malware via email are among the most common attack vectors in mid-market companies.

Scope: Safe Links and Safe Attachments including detonation - Configure anti-phishing and impersonation protection - Customize policies per user group - Reporting dashboard and end-user awareness materials

Result: Measurably fewer successful phishing attempts and a well-documented email security architecture.
