Cloud Security Posture Management

Cloud Security Posture Management

Identify, prioritize and continuously reduce risks in Microsoft clouds

Continuous Transparency and Control of Your Cloud Security Situation

Cloud environments are developing dynamically. Security risks often arise not from a lack of tools but from misconfigurations, insufficient transparency, and poor tracking. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) ensures that your cloud security posture is not assessed once but continuously managed, improved, and made traceable.

The Aim of Our CSPM Service

We at Arvato Systems aim to make your cloud security configurations permanently transparent, accessible, and controllable. To this end, we identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at an early stage, continuously reduce risks, and prioritize necessary measures based on their actual risk. At the same time, we use structured, traceable implementation tracking to ensure that identified risks not only become visible but are also sustainably reduced.

  • We take a holistic view of your cloud security situation across all relevant levels:

    • Devices
    • Applications
    • Identities
    • Network
    • Infrastructure
    • Data
    • Cloud workloads

    This is how we ensure that the entire security architecture is optimized rather than individual silos.

  • The service is currently based on the Microsoft security platform:

    • Microsoft Defender Stack
    • Microsoft Entra ID
    • Microsoft Intune

    The focus is deliberately on the Microsoft Cloud - due to:

    • high integration depth
    • sophisticated security level
    • comprehensive automation options

    At the same time, our approach is designed to be cross-platform from the outset. In the future, we will extend CSPM to AWS and the Google Cloud Platform to enable a consistent security assessment across all hyperscalers.

Performance and Results

Our CSPM service delivers concrete, operationally useful results:

  • Identification of misconfigurations, exposed resources, and vulnerabilities
  • Risk-based prioritization (severity, exploitability, exposure, criticality)
  • Structured documentation and transparent reporting
  • Action backlog incl. progress tracking
  • Concrete recommendations for action based on best practices

The difference: We don't just deliver findings; we deliver a controllable improvement process.

1st Workshop & Setup
  • Definition of scope and target image
  • Analysis of the existing configuration
  • Setting up the evaluation basis

Goal: Create transparency and lay the foundation for targeted implementation

2. initial assessment
  • Building a resilient security baseline
  • Identification of quick wins
  • Creation of a prioritized action plan

Result: Rapid, visible improvement in the security situation

3. managed service (continuous)
  • Regular cloud security assessments
  • Concrete recommendations for action
  • Continuous action tracking
  • Monthly review (risks, progress, priorities)

Goal: sustainable control and continuous optimization

Strategic Added Value

CSPM is not a one-off project, but a permanent control mechanism for cloud security. With a uniform view of your security situation, you avoid blind spots and isolated one-off analyses. Instead of reactive measures, we establish a continuous improvement process that sustainably reduces risks and can be flexibly scaled to multi-cloud environments.

Conclusion

 

Cloud Security Posture Management ensures that your cloud environment is not only initially set up securely, but also permanently monitored, improved in a structured manner, and managed transparently. The current focus is on Microsoft environments - but in the long term, a uniform security and control model across all relevant hyperscalers is required.
