API Edge / APIM / WAF Architecture Review
A fixed-scope review of how your APIs reach the outside world on Azure: APIM, Front Door, Application Gateway, WAF, DNS, TLS, and Private Link, examined as one topology rather than a collection of separate products. For teams that want the edge design settled before a migration, a go-live, or a security review forces the question.
Who this is for
- → Platform teams that own APIM, Front Door, or Application Gateway and the WAF policies in front of them
- → Teams preparing an APIM v2 migration and the networking rebuild that comes with it
- → Regulated teams that must show who can reach which API, from where, and how that is logged
Typical triggers
- → A classic APIM tier is approaching retirement and v2 forces networking decisions
- → WAF exclusions piled up over time and no one can explain half of them
- → A pentest or security review flagged the API perimeter
- → New consumers, partners, or AI workloads need API access under control
What we review
- → Edge topology: how Front Door, Application Gateway, APIM, and the WAF combine, and whether each layer earns its place
- → APIM configuration: tier choice, networking mode, products, subscriptions, policy structure
- → WAF posture: rule sets, exclusion governance, false-positive handling, logging
- → TLS and certificates: issuance, rotation, and ownership across the chain
- → Private connectivity: Private Link, DNS, and internal exposure paths
- → Observability: what your logs can prove about API traffic when someone asks
What you receive
- → A reviewed edge topology with a target pattern and the reasoning behind it
- → WAF exclusion governance with owners and review dates
- → TLS and certificate lifecycle notes
- → A sequenced APIM migration plan when a migration is in scope
- → Risk-ranked findings and a remediation roadmap
Typically 1 to 2 weeks, fixed scope and fixed fee.
How it works
- 1. Intake call to fix scope and access
- 2. Evidence and architecture review
- 3. Working sessions with your teams
- 4. Findings, roadmap, and executive readout
- 5. Optional follow-up support
We focus on technical architecture, cloud evidence, and remediation roadmaps. Legal interpretation and regulatory sign-off stay with your risk, compliance, or legal teams.
Get the scope and fee on paper.
A short intake call settles scope, access, and dates. The written proposal states the fixed fee before anything starts. We run one or two assessments at a time; dates are agreed together with scope.
