Healthcare Cloud | Part-Time Hourly Contract | Remote
About the Engagement
A Microsoft-focused cloud services firm is seeking a senior security architect to join its delivery team on a part-time, hourly basis. The firm is the managed services provider (MSP) for a multi-clinic US healthcare organization and is leading the migration of the organization's clinical and business applications to Microsoft Azure. The client places a strong emphasis on ransomware resilience, and a healthcare-focused managed security services provider (MSSP) is integrating the new environment into its monitoring service. The core need is a comprehensive security design for the Azure environment.
The Environment
- A hybrid environment spanning a hosted VMware private cloud and Microsoft Azure, connected by two Azure ExpressRoute circuits.
- Palo Alto Networks VM-Series firewalls and Prisma SD-WAN ION appliances deployed as native virtual machines at both sites.
- An Azure VMware Solution (AVS) deployment receiving the full data center migration.



Azure becomes the primary site and the hosted private cloud becomes the secondary site.
- More than 40 clinician-facing and business applications in scope, including laboratory, dental, radiology, and IT systems.
- A vendor-hosted electronic health record (EHR) platform, reached through vendor-specified, customer-managed connectivity hardware in a colocation facility, with integrations to the in-scope applications.

What You Will Do
- Produce and own the security design for the Azure environment across identity, infrastructure, networking, governance, policies, access control, logging, and monitoring.
- Identity and access control: design Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and role-based access control (RBAC) for least-privilege administrator and third-party access.
- Infrastructure: harden AVS, Azure virtual machines, and supporting services against recognized baselines, and review the live build as it progr
