Mycelium 365

    Microsoft Azure Subscription Management

    Managed Azure Subscription is a cloud governance and cost management service — Mycelium 365 configures, secures, and optimises Azure subscriptions for Australian organisations so cloud spend stays predictable and workloads stay protected.

    Simplify cloud management. Maximize value. Strengthen security. Take full advantage of Azure's scalability, flexibility, and security.

    Azure subscription management is the day-to-day discipline of governing your Microsoft Azure environment — controlling who can do what, where resources live, what they cost, and how they're protected. For Australian organisations, this matters because uncontrolled cloud sprawl quickly turns into runaway spend, security gaps and compliance exposure. Mycelium 365 acts as an extension of your team: we enforce naming and tagging standards, apply Azure Policy guardrails, right-size resources monthly, and keep your environment anchored in Australian regions (Australia East and Australia Southeast) to meet data residency, IRAP and APRA CPS 234 obligations.

    Who this is for

    Built for Australian organisations with one or more active Azure subscriptions where cost, access or compliance are no longer manageable in-house. It suits SMBs without a dedicated cloud engineer, finance teams that need predictable Azure spend with chargeback by department, and regulated businesses — legal, finance, healthcare, defence supply chain — that need RBAC, audit trails and policy enforcement formalised against a recognised framework.

    Subscription & Landing Zone Design

    Initial setup of subscriptions, management groups and resource groups using a consistent landing-zone pattern with naming, tagging and region standards. We document the design so finance, security and engineering work from the same source of truth. New subscriptions added later automatically inherit your standards.

    Cost Governance & Optimisation

    Monthly cost reviews with right-sizing, anomaly alerts, budget thresholds, and chargeback-ready tags by department, project or customer. We apply Reserved Instances, Savings Plans and dev/test pricing where they earn their keep. You see exactly where every Azure dollar is going and what to do about it.

    RBAC & Identity Integration

    Role-based access control wired into Microsoft Entra ID with least-privilege roles and no standing owner rights. Privileged actions are funnelled through Privileged Identity Management with just-in-time elevation, MFA and approval workflows. Joiner/mover/leaver changes flow through automatically.

    Security & Compliance

    Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled across every subscription, Azure Policy guardrails to block risky configurations, resource locks on production, and controls mapped to your relevant framework — ISO 27001, Essential Eight, IRAP, APRA CPS 234 or PCI DSS. Evidence is collected automatically for audits.

    Monitoring & Reporting

    Real-time visibility into performance, cost and security posture via Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, surfaced in a monthly report with prioritised recommendations. We track trends month over month so anomalies are caught before they become invoices or incidents.

    Performance & Resiliency Tuning

    Quarterly architecture reviews, performance tuning, backup and DR validation, and patching schedules aligned to your change windows. We test failover, not just configure it — so the resilience you've paid for actually works on the day you need it.
