Microsoft Azure offers incredible flexibility and scalability, but without proper governance and oversight it can quickly become difficult to manage.
Organizations commonly struggle with:
- Misconfigurations that create security vulnerabilities
- Lack of governance across subscriptions and resources
- Unexpected or uncontrolled cloud costs
- Limited visibility into system activity and risks
- Difficulty maintaining secure configurations and compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
The top 6 questions we get about Managed Azure as a service for small businesses:
-
1) Can Azure Managed be applied only to selected resources within a subscription?
No. Azure Managed applies at the full subscription level.
Security, governance, patch control, and cost discipline require holistic visibility and enforcement. Managing isolated resources would break policy consistency and reduce effectiveness.
-
2) Can we use Azure Managed if the subscription was not purchased through BEMO?
Azure Managed is available only for Azure subscriptions provisioned and managed through BEMO.
-
3) Does BEMO support hybrid (on-prem + Azure) management under Azure Managed?
Azure Managed focuses exclusively on Microsoft Azure environments.
Hybrid infrastructure management, on-prem servers, or non-Azure workloads require a separate service scope.
-
4) Will BEMO update and maintain our Azure servers?
Yes. As part of Azure Managed, BEMO enforces and oversees:
• OS update governance
• Patch compliance monitoring
• Update Manager configuration
• Remediation of non-compliant workloads
-
5) Does Azure Managed include application-level troubleshooting?
No. Azure Managed covers infrastructure, security posture, governance, and operational hygiene — not application debugging or custom code troubleshooting.
-
6) Can you clarify what you mean by "compliance" in the "What's Included" section?
This includes the built in Azure functionality that provides compliance reporting. If customers need further compliance solutions or a 24x7 SOC monitoring solution for compliance review our additional compliance offerings.
