Automating Compliance in Microsoft 365, Azure & AWS

Replace manual audit prep with continuous assurance—using the platforms you already run. We automate ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 controls across Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS. No new platform to buy.

Why automate compliance?

Most teams still export logs to spreadsheets, copy evidence into folders, and chase people for attestations. Meanwhile, Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS already have the events, reviews and configuration state you need. Automation turns these platforms into a year-round control system—reducing manual effort and making audits predictable.

  • Less grunt work: flows create, store and tag evidence automatically.
  • Continuous assurance: reviews, snapshots and KPIs run on cadence.
  • Auditor-friendly: artefacts live in SharePoint with retention & versions.

No new tools or platforms

We do not sell or resell a new compliance platform. We orchestrate evidence and controls using the stack you already run:

  • Microsoft 365: Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Purview, Power Automate/BI
  • Azure: Policy, Resource Graph, Monitor/Sentinel
  • AWS: Config, Security Hub, CloudTrail/GuardDuty
See how this works

Six automation pillars

Identity & Access (Entra)

Automate user/access attestations, privileged role review, MFA posture and app consent exports.

Access reviewsPIM

Endpoint & Patch (Defender/Intune)

Enforce encryption, monitor compliance, surface exposure scores and export posture snapshots on cadence.

EncryptionPatching

Data & Privacy (Purview)

Retention, labels and DLP policies recorded as evidence. Hook DPIA/ROPA steps to Teams approvals.

RetentionDLP

Evidence Flows (Power Automate)

Scheduled exports, approvals and notifications—pushing signed artefacts to SharePoint with versions.

ApprovalsSnapshots

Cloud Baselines (Azure/AWS)

Guardrails with Azure Policy and AWS Config/Security Hub. Capture drift reports as evidence.

Azure PolicyAWS Config

Dashboards & Tests

Power BI control KPIs and periodic test scripts that write pass/fail artefacts automatically.

Power BITest scripts

Sample evidence structure (SharePoint)

A practical folder pattern that keeps auditors happy and your team organised. Each evidence run lands in a dated subfolder (YYYY-MM) with exports, screenshots and approvals.

Tip: keep YYYY-MM folders consistent across areas so sampling is easy. Store flow/run IDs in the file properties or a simple “Evidence Register” to prove provenance.

Implementation playbook

1) Baseline

Confirm scope, frameworks and target controls. Map Microsoft 365/Azure/AWS tenants.

2) Automate

Enable access reviews, posture exports and evidence flows. Stand up the SharePoint Evidence Hub.

3) Monitor

Publish Power BI KPIs; run monthly snapshots; drive exceptions to owners in Teams.

4) Assure

Bundle artefacts into auditable packs (SoA, access, patching, privacy, AI oversight).

Azure & AWS—same evidence model

Azure Policy assignments and AWS Config conformance packs enforce guardrails; deviations raise tasks; monthly exports land in SharePoint with retention. Your auditors see the same structured evidence across clouds.

Automation FAQs

Do you provide a new tool?
