How our engagements work

Assess or Accelerate?

Two ways to work with us. Here’s how to know which one you need. 

Every CloudGuard Advisory engagement is either an Assess or an Accelerate. 

 Understanding the difference takes two minutes – and it makes the rest of our services a lot easier to navigate.

Finding The Right Option For You

ASSESS

The Short Version – You want to know where you stand.

We come in, review what you’ve already got – configurations, policies, coverage – and tell you exactly where the gaps are.

 Nothing gets changed. You walk away with a prioritised report and a remediation roadmap.

Who is this good for?

Organisations that need an independent view before making decisions, or anyone whose security setup has grown without anyone stepping back to check it properly.

ACCELERATE

You’re ready to do something about it. We come in and get things working.

Policies tuned. Capabilities switched on. Configurations aligned to best practice. You already own the Microsoft technology – we make sure you’re actually getting value from it.

Who is this good for?

Organisations that have the licences but haven’t fully deployed the security tools that come with them, or teams that want expert hands on the keyboard rather than just a report at the end.

Real World Examples

You have Microsoft 365 E5 but you're not sure if Defender is set up correctly.

Start with a Defender XDR Assess.

Read-only review, prioritised findings, clear roadmap.

You've just bought Purview licences and need them deployed properly before a Copilot rollout.

That’s a Purview Accelerate.

We configure, deploy, and adopt – so you realise the value you’ve already paid for. 

You've never had an independent view of your Entra identity setup.

Entra Assess.

Non-intrusive, expert-led, benchmarked against best practice.

Your Entra Assess flagged gaps in your Conditional Access policies and privileged access controls? → Entra Accelerate. We come back in and fix what we found. 

Not sure where to start?
