For public agencies

The problem
- Resources sized once and never revisited; idle environments running continuously
- Grant-funded systems accruing charges after the grant ends
- Security findings available in the provider's own tools but not reviewed
Record
- Reduced a state agency's Azure spending by more than 20 percent
- 25+ years in information technology; AWS and Microsoft Azure certified
- HIPAA/HITECH and 21 CFR Part 11 regulated-environment experience
How it works

Assessment, $4,500 fixed: full review and prioritized savings list. Refunded if annual savings identified are under twice the fee.
Retainer: monthly reports and remediation through least-privilege, read-only-by-default access.
