Azure expertise. Security built in.

We help organisations migrate to Microsoft Azure, design cloud architecture, harden security configurations, and optimise costs. This includes hands-on implementation following Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework — not just advice.

It depends on the size and complexity of your infrastructure. A small business migration might take 2-4 weeks. We scope every engagement individually and provide a fixed quote before starting.

Automated penetration testing uses software to systematically probe your web applications, APIs, and network for vulnerabilities — the same types of checks a human tester would perform, following frameworks like OWASP Testing Guide, but run continuously and at lower cost.

Yes. Verizon's 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 43% of breaches involved small-business victims — and most SMEs have never had a professional security assessment. Automated testing makes it affordable to check your defences regularly.

NEFIQ LIMITED is registered in England & Wales (Co. No. 16426225). We deliver Azure consulting engagements remotely, worldwide. The registered office is in Ashford, Kent — see footer for the full address.

Discovery and assessment work usually runs one to two weeks. Migration and architecture engagements typically run four to twelve weeks depending on scope. Every engagement is scoped individually with a fixed quote and timeline agreed before work starts.

Testing is only performed against systems you own and have authorised in writing. Scan data, findings, and reports are stored encrypted, shared only with your named contacts, and deleted on request once the engagement closes. NEFIQ operates under UK GDPR — see our privacy policy for details.

Each finding comes with a severity rating, evidence of how it was identified, the affected assets, and step-by-step remediation guidance in plain language. Reports open with an executive summary written for non-technical stakeholders.

Engagements are delivered remotely, worldwide. Remote delivery keeps engagements lean and lets us work with clients wherever they are; tooling, communication, and reporting are all built around it.

The biggest levers are usually right-sizing over-provisioned compute, shutting down non-production environments outside working hours, removing orphaned resources such as unattached disks, and committing predictable workloads to reservations — which Microsoft prices at up to 72% below pay-as-you-go. A cost audit quantifies each lever before you commit to changes.

Not entirely. Automated testing covers common, well-defined vulnerability classes continuously and affordably. Complex business-logic flaws still benefit from expert manual review. For many SMEs the practical balance is continuous automated coverage with occasional targeted manual testing.
