Azure Well-Architected Assessment

Benchmarked against Microsoft's own five pillars

We assess your Azure environment against Microsoft's Well-Architected Framework, reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency, so you get an objective score, not a sales pitch dressed as an audit.

Netrix engineers run production Azure environments every day, with certified expertise across Azure infrastructure, security, and cost management.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A four-step review, not a slide deck

Each engagement follows the same structure Microsoft itself recommends, run by engineers who work in Azure every day.

01

Scope & Pillar Review

We start by reviewing all five pillars against the scope of your environment, so the engagement targets what actually matters to your business.

  • Workload boundaries defined
  • Pillars prioritized by business risk
  • Assessment plan agreed with stakeholders
02

Stakeholder Workshops

We meet with IT, leadership, and finance to understand your current state, constraints, and goals, not just read your architecture diagrams.

  • Sessions with IT, finance, and leadership
  • Current state and goals captured
  • Constraints and past decisions documented
03

Environment Analysis

We collect data across your Azure subscriptions and analyze it against Microsoft's own best practices, pillar by pillar.

  • Every subscription reviewed, automated and manual
  • Findings mapped to the Well-Architected Framework
  • Risks ranked by business impact
04

Roadmap & Executive Summary

The engagement ends with an executive summary, a detailed roadmap, and an action plan for closing the gaps we found.

  • Executive summary for leadership
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Action plan your team can run
FROM THE FIELD

What a real assessment finds

One engagement, invisible from inside the Azure portal until someone went looking.

A 600-person manufacturer came to us ahead of a cyber insurance renewal, worried its Azure footprint wouldn't hold up to the questionnaire. The assessment found four subscriptions still carrying owner-level access for contractors who'd left over a year earlier, backup vaults with no tested restore on record, and a resource group with no cost tags at all. None of it showed up in the monthly Azure Cost Management report.

WHY NETRIX

Why run this with Netrix

Five things that separate a real assessment from a checklist you already know the answers to.
