Our Consulting team at BearingPoint is dedicated to helping organizations protect and strengthen their digital landscape through cloud‑centric security, modern identity, and data protection capabilities.

Security analytics and continuous monitoring are central to our approach, with Microsoft Sentinel, Defender capabilities, and Azure-native security services delivering actionable insights and proactive threat management at scale. On the cloud side, we design and implement secure, resilient, and scalable solutions on Microsoft Azure, embedding security by design across infrastructure, applications, and data platforms.
In addition, our team supports the integration of security across end‑to‑end business processes and cloud services, ensuring consistent governance, risk management, and protection across the Microsoft ecosystem while enabling secure digital transformation for our clients.
