Cloud Security
BRITECITY secures your Microsoft cloud environment with Defender for Cloud, Conditional Access, identity management, and compliance monitoring. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner based in Irvine, we protect Orange County businesses with enterprise-grade cloud security.
Cloud security is the set of policies, technologies, and controls that protect cloud-hosted data, applications, and infrastructure from unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations. For businesses using Microsoft 365 and Azure, cloud security includes Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Conditional Access policies, identity management through Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), multi-factor authentication enforcement, data loss prevention, and continuous threat monitoring. BRITECITY is a Microsoft Solutions Partner in Irvine, California, delivering managed cloud security services to businesses across Orange County since 2008.

FAQ
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a cloud-native security platform that provides threat detection, vulnerability management, and security posture monitoring across Azure, Microsoft 365, and hybrid environments. It continuously assesses your cloud resources and provides actionable recommendations to reduce risk.
Conditional Access policies are rules in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) that control how and when users can access cloud resources. Policies can require multi-factor authentication, block access from risky locations, enforce compliant devices, and restrict access based on user role or application sensitivity.
A CASB sits between your users and cloud services to enforce security policies, detect shadow IT, prevent data leaks, and monitor user activity. Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps acts as a CASB for Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS applications, giving you visibility and control over cloud usage.
Traditional cybersecurity focuses on perimeter defenses like firewalls and on-premises antivirus. Cloud security operates on a zero-trust model — verifying every user, device, and request regardless of network location. It relies on identity-based access controls, encryption, and continuous monitoring rather than a fixed perimeter.
Cloud security configurations in Microsoft 365 and Azure support compliance with HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, NIST, PCI DSS, and CCPA. Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager provides a compliance score and maps your settings to specific regulatory controls so gaps are visible and trackable.
