Cloud · Platform layer

Cloud migration without losing your controls.

Azure migration, Microsoft 365 management, and hybrid architecture under SOC 2 Type II discipline, with cybersecurity as the anchor underneath.

Mandry Technology provides cloud services for compliance-driven organizations in Texas and adjacent states: Azure migration and hybrid cloud architecture, Microsoft 365 management hardened for regulated workloads, cloud security and posture management, and FinOps governance across cloud spend. Cloud extends the same controls, documentation standards, and accountability chain as Managed IT, Cybersecurity, Unified Communications, and AI Governance, with controls and documentation mapped to TX-RAMP, HIPAA, FFIEC, and SOC 2. Scope is customized during assessment; engagements can include full platform management or integration with existing on-premises infrastructure.

Scope

What's included in Mandry cloud.

Azure, Microsoft 365, hybrid architecture, and audit-ready documentation under one accountable team. Scope is customized during assessment; this is the baseline for regulated environments.

  • Cloud and Azure migration with data-class controls and audit trails preserved
  • Hybrid cloud architecture for workloads that cannot be public-cloud-only
  • Microsoft 365 management hardened for regulated workloads
  • Cloud security posture management and identity integration
  • FinOps governance and cost visibility across cloud spend
  • BAA and subprocessor chain documentation for cloud vendors
  • Integration with Teams Phone and unified communications from the UC practice
  • Compliance documentation program for audits and examinations
  • Public and private cloud hosting
  • Cloud-to-cloud backup solutions
  • SaaS deployment and migration management
  • Single sign-on (SSO) deployment
  • Zero trust architecture deployment

Capabilities

What Mandry operates, not what gets forwarded to a vendor.

Cloud at Mandry means accountable operations with documentation that holds up under audit, not a menu of third-party referrals.

Azure migration

Workload assessment, migration planning, and cutover execution that preserves data-class controls, audit trails, and access boundaries. Migrations designed for regulated environments where a lift-and-shift without controls mapping is both a compliance risk and an examination finding.

Microsoft 365 management

Tenant configuration, identity integration, conditional access, and ongoing management hardened for HIPAA, FFIEC, and FERPA workloads. Microsoft 365 operated under the same documentation standards as the on-premises environment it replaces or extends.

Hybrid cloud architecture

Architecture for workloads that cannot move to public cloud without losing controls: clinical systems, treasury platforms, legacy applications with regulatory dependencies. Hybrid design that keeps sensitive data classes where examiners expect them while extending cloud benefits to appropriate workloads.

Cloud security and posture management

Cloud security posture management, identity integration with the cybersecurity practice, and continuous monitoring aligned to TX-RAMP, HIPAA, and FFIEC expectations. Cloud security is an extension of the security anchor, not a separate vendor relationship.

FinOps and cost governance

Cloud spend visibility, budget governance, and right-sizing recommendations tied to your technology roadmap. FinOps that produces the cost documentation CFOs and audit committees request, not a monthly invoice with unexplained line items.

Compliance documentation

Cloud architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, BAA tracking, subprocessor inventories, and evidence binders maintained continuously. The documentation TX-RAMP reviewers, HIPAA auditors, and FFIEC examiners request, not assembled when a migration deadline arrives.

Framework Mapping

How cloud maps to the frameworks you answer to.

Compliance buyers need to know which security controls touch which obligations. This is the crosswalk auditors, carriers, and compliance officers look for before they ask for evidence.

Comparison

Generic cloud MSP vs Mandry cloud.

The difference shows up when an audit, breach, or carrier renewal forces you to produce evidence, not when everything is running smoothly.

Scenario

What happens when a state agency under TX-RAMP must migrate workloads without losing data-class controls.

TX-RAMP certification depends on documented cloud security controls, data residency boundaries, and vendor oversight that survive migration, not just a signed contract. For a state agency moving clinical or financial workloads to Azure, a migration that collapses access boundaries or drops audit trails is both an operational risk and a certification finding. Mandry maps data classes before cutover, preserves access controls through hybrid architecture where required, and maintains cloud security documentation continuously. The IT director gets a migration that meets the deadline; the compliance officer gets evidence that holds up when TX-RAMP reviewers ask what changed.

FAQ

Questions about cloud.

What is cloud services at Mandry?

Cloud services at Mandry is the platform layer for compliance-driven organizations: Azure migration, Microsoft 365 management, hybrid cloud architecture, cloud security, and FinOps governance under the same accountable team that manages IT, security, and communications. Controls, documentation, and data-class boundaries are designed to hold up under TX-RAMP, HIPAA, FFIEC, and SOC 2 examinations rather than generic small-business cloud management.

Does Mandry support Azure-only or hybrid cloud models?

Both. Azure migration serves organizations ready to move appropriate workloads to public cloud with controls preserved. Hybrid architecture serves environments where clinical systems, treasury platforms, or legacy applications cannot be public-cloud-only without losing the data-class boundaries examiners expect. The right model depends on your regulatory scope, workload inventory, and what controls must survive migration.

How does cloud relate to cybersecurity at Mandry?

Cybersecurity is the security anchor; Cloud extends that discipline to platform workloads. Identity integration, cloud security posture management, and access controls run under the same accountability chain as MDR, vulnerability management, and incident response. Cloud security is not a separate vendor relationship bolted onto a help desk.

How does Mandry harden Microsoft 365 for regulated workloads?

Tenant configuration, conditional access, identity governance, and data handling policies aligned to HIPAA, FFIEC, and FERPA requirements. Microsoft 365 management includes BAA tracking, subprocessor documentation, and access controls documented for auditors. Hardening is operational configuration and documentation, not a checkbox on a migration checklist.

What audit evidence does Mandry produce for cloud and TX-RAMP?

Cloud architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, access control evidence, BAA and subprocessor inventories, cloud security posture reports, and evidence binders maintained continuously for TX-RAMP, HIPAA, and FFIEC examinations. Mandry's own SOC 2 Type II attestation evidences the operating discipline clients inherit. Evidence is produced continuously, not assembled when a certification review is announced.

What does FinOps and cost governance include?

Cloud spend visibility, budget governance, right-sizing recommendations, and cost reporting tied to your technology roadmap and vCIO advisory. FinOps produces the cost documentation CFOs and audit committees request: where spend is going, what drives it, and what changes would improve efficiency without compromising controls.

Choosing a managed IT services company is itself a compliance-visible decision.

The right time to evaluate one is before the audit, before the breach, before the regulator's letter arrives.
