Practical cloud security for Microsoft 365 and AWS

Know what to fix. Then fix it properly.

Digital Affinity gives leaders a clear view of cloud and security risk, then helps technical teams implement the controls, runbooks and evidence that make the environment easier to govern.

01 Find the real gaps 02 Agree the priorities 03 Deliver visible progress

Platforms, controls and operating areas we help make manageable

The problem we solve

Security work stalls when nobody can see what matters most.

You may already have the platforms and licences. What is often missing is a simple operating model: where the risks are, who owns them, what evidence exists and which changes should happen first.

01

Insurance, audit or board pressure

You need defensible answers, not a last-minute scramble for screenshots.

02

Microsoft 365 has drifted

Admin roles, MFA, sharing, Defender and endpoint controls need a clean baseline.

03

Cloud growth has outpaced control

AWS or Azure needs clearer ownership, logging, backup, IAM and guardrails.

04

Progress is hard to prove

Board view needs a simple view of progress, blockers and remaining risk.

How Digital Affinity works

Clarity first. Delivery immediately after.

We do not stop at a findings list. We translate risk into decisions, decisions into changes, and changes into evidence your organisation can reuse.

Map tenants, cloud accounts, identity, endpoint, backup and operations Decide what creates risk, what is urgent and what can wait Deliver baselines, runbooks, automations and ownership changes Evidence decisions, progress and controls in language people can use

Engagements

Productised help, not open-ended consulting.

Outcome

From scattered work to governed progress.

The aim is not more noise. It is fewer unknowns, clearer owners and improvements that can be explained to non-technical stakeholders.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before starting.

Can you work with our current IT provider?

Yes. We can work alongside internal teams or existing providers, adding structure around cloud security, governance, controls and delivery priorities.

Do you only advise, or do you also implement?

We do both. Our work combines practical assessment, clear recommendations and hands-on implementation support where needed.

Can you review our Microsoft 365 security setup?

Yes. We review identity, conditional access, admin roles, Defender, Intune, endpoint posture, external sharing and evidence requirements.

Can you help with cyber insurance or compliance preparation?

We can help you understand control gaps, improve evidence, clarify ownership and prioritise remediation before audit or insurance conversations.
