AI & Data Platform Architecture Review
A fixed-scope review of your Azure OpenAI or Microsoft Foundry platform (previously Azure AI Foundry) before it carries production workloads: access model, data boundaries, gateway design, monitoring, and cost control, with the evidence a risk team will ask for once a pilot becomes a product.
Who this is for
- → Teams moving Azure OpenAI or Microsoft Foundry workloads from proof of concept to production
- → Platform teams asked to give scattered AI projects a governed shared foundation
- → Regulated teams whose risk function wants answers on data flows and model access before sign-off
Typical triggers
- → A successful pilot is about to take on real users or real data
- → Several teams each built their own OpenAI resource and the landscape needs consolidating
- → Risk or compliance asked where prompts, embeddings, and outputs actually go
- → Token costs are rising and no line in the bill says which use case caused them
What we review
- → Access model: identities, keys, managed identities, and who can call which model
- → Gateway design: APIM as an AI gateway, quotas, throttling, routing across deployments
- → Data boundaries: where prompts, completions, embeddings, and logs are stored and processed
- → Network posture: private endpoints, egress control, isolation from other workloads
- → Monitoring and cost: token usage, per-consumer attribution, alerting
- → Content controls: filtering configuration and the evidence it produces
What you receive
- → A reviewed access and gateway model with a target design
- → A data boundary map covering prompts, outputs, embeddings, and logs
- → Monitoring and cost controls with per-consumer attribution
- → An evidence model your risk team can reuse
- → Risk-ranked findings and a remediation roadmap
Typically 2 to 3 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.
