Most environments we analyze score below 70. Is yours one of them?

Four Steps. Zero Trust Required.

STEP 01

Run Locally in Azure Cloud Shell

Execute the open-source script inside your own authenticated Microsoft Azure environment. Nothing leaves without your review.

STEP 02
🛡️

Script Generates Sanitized JSON

The script outputs structural metadata only — counts, booleans, percentages. All IPs, subscription IDs, and resource names are permanently stripped.

STEP 03
📤

Review & Upload the Payload

Open the JSON in any text editor. Verify it yourself. Then complete payment and upload — no surprises, no hidden fields.

STEP 04
📋

Receive Your Architecture Brief

A 3-page scored PDF lands in your inbox within 2 business days — with your risk score, cost leak analysis, and a strict “Fix This First” roadmap.

Read the Script Before You Run It.

Every line of Invoke-R2CTriage.ps1 is public on GitHub. No obfuscation. No telemetry. No external network calls beyond the Azure Resource Manager API — the same API your Azure Portal uses. Run -DryRun to see exactly what would be collected before making a single API call.

The teaser names the category and specific finding — but not the remediation. The full scored brief maps every flag to a ranked fix with effort vs. impact scoring.

85 – 100

Production Ready

Architecture is sound. Minor optimizations recommended.

70 – 84

Moderate Risk

Structural gaps detected. Fix before scaling workloads.

50 – 69

High Risk

Compliance and cost leakage issues. Remediation required.

< 50

Critical

Do not deploy. High probability of breach or compounding cost failure.

Before You Ask.

  • Is my data safe? What exactly are you receiving?
    We receive a JSON file containing only structural metadata — counts, booleans, and percentages. The script permanently strips all IP addresses, subscription IDs, resource names, tag values, and credentials before writing the file. Your subscription is represented only as a 12-character SHA-256 fingerprint. Open the JSON in a text editor before uploading — you can verify every field yourself.
  • Do you need access to my Azure environment?
    No. The script runs inside your own authenticated Azure Cloud Shell session. We never request credentials, service principal access, or any form of tenant access. You run the script, you review the output, you decide whether to upload it.
  • What does the script actually collect?
    Four domains: Identity (RBAC assignments, PIM state, guest user flags), Networking (NSG rule counts, subnet coverage percentages, unattached public IP counts), Governance (budget alert state, tag compliance percentage, policy assignment count), and Compute/Cost (unattached disk count and total GiB, stopped-not-deallocated VM count, NIC-level NSG coverage). Run .\Invoke-R2CTriage.ps1 -DryRun to see every field before execution.
  • How long does the script take to run?
    Typically 2–8 minutes depending on VM count. The per-NIC inspection step is the slowest — larger subscriptions with 50+ VMs may take 10–15 minutes. Let it run to completion; the terminal output will confirm when the payload is written.
  • What does the 3-page report actually look like?
    Page 1 is your Architecture Score, risk band, and top 5 findings. Page 2 is your cost and security leak analysis — specific resource types and exposure categories identified. Page 3 is your “Fix This First” roadmap, ordered by effort vs. impact. Every finding maps to a concrete remediation step, not a generic recommendation.
