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 Express Route 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 progresses. Networkin
