Data residency and compliance on Azure Local
When a regulation or a contract says data must stay in a place, the design has to prove it. We map your requirements to settings and produce the evidence.
Scope of the work
- Read the requirement and turn it into testable controls
- Map each control to a platform setting or a procedure
- Configure encryption, logging and retention
- Use Azure Policy through Azure Arc to detect drift
- Assemble an evidence pack for audit
- A control matrix: requirement, setting, evidence
- Configured and verified controls
- An evidence pack and the procedure to refresh it
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
Evidence beats intention
An auditor wants output, dates and names. We collect them as part of the work.
Shared responsibility
You own more of the stack on premises than in Azure. The matrix shows who owns each control.
We are engineers, not auditors
We implement and evidence technical controls. Your compliance officer or auditor gives the formal opinion.
Four steps, written down.
A call with Keith
You describe the goal, the estate and the deadline. Keith turns it into a written scope with an hour estimate at the hourly rate.
A written design by Gus
Gus reviews the environment and gives you a written design with each decision and its reason.
Hands-on implementation
Gus implements in your tenant and your racks, remotely or on site, with every change logged as it is made.
Documents and a named contact
You receive the as-built record and the runbooks. Keith stays on as your account and project manager.
Asked before every engagement.
Which frameworks do you work with?
We map to whichever framework you must meet. Tell us the framework and scope and we build the matrix against it.
Does keeping data on premises make us compliant?
No. Location is one control among many. Access, logging, encryption and procedures matter just as much.
What does the consulting cost?
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith sends a written hour estimate after the scoping call, and work starts when you approve it.
Often scoped together.
One rate. Two people.
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith runs sales, project management and your account. Gus does the architecture, the design and the implementation.
