- Misconfigurations that create security vulnerabilities

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 reporting for certain compliance frameworks. A SOC 24x7 monitoring solution is available with the purchase of Platinum Managed Security. For further compliance support please review our additional Compliance Offerings.
