Automate Evidence Collection: Microsoft Azure Cloud Services
You need to document your Azure security and compliance positions for auditors and customers. Getting all of this data out of your Azure services manually -- from access controls to security policies -- can take days or weeks. Using Hyperproof’s Hypersync feature, you can automatically collect compliance artefacts from multiple Azure cloud computing services.
In Hyperproof, you can configure a Hypersync for a select set of Azure services. After a one-time set up, you’ll be able to automatically extract proof of compliance from Azure -- either on a schedule or on-demand. All proof comes with auto-generated meta-data (e.g,. when it was generated, the exact location it comes from, etc.) - so your auditor knows that the proof is valid.

Hypersync FAQ
What are the benefits of using Hypersync?
By using Hypersync, organizations can expect to reap benefits such as:
- Saving time: Hypersyc eliminates the need for an individual to manually gather and file away evidence
- Trustworthy evidence: For auditors to consider evidence valid, they’ll expect to see a paper-trail that showcases when it was gathered and where it comes from. Each piece of evidence gathered with Hypersyc comes with meta-data that includes the date it was collected, the name of the person who set up the connection, and a link to the original source. By using Hypersync, you can prove to your auditor the evidence hasn’t been doctored or tampered with.
- Automated testing of controls: Getting evidence automatically into Hyperproof is the basis for automated testing and automated monitoring of controls. While Hyperproof does not enable automated controls testing at this time, we are working on this capability and hope to have it available sometime in the second half of 2021.
I’m using an Azure service that’s not listed here, but I’d like to automate evidence gathering from this service. Do you have plans to add additional integrations?
We recognize that Microsoft Azure offers a large array of cloud services. If you have a service you use frequently and need to document how you’re leveraging this service for compliance purposes, we’d love to hear from you. We plan to add additional Hypersyncs for Azure services over time based on customer feedback.
Is Hypersync included with the core Hyperproof compliance operations platform?
Hyperproof’s pricing is tiered based on the number of compliance frameworks you implement in the platform. All pricing plans include a certain limited number of Hypersyncs that users can set up. You can purchase additional Hypersyncs at any time.
