Many companies fail at Azure not for lack of will, but on the how: undocumented infrastructures, missing governance, inconsistent security configuration.
HAFN STANDARD
PLATFORM.
We build your Azure foundation in a structured way — subscriptions, networking, governance, security — documented, ready to operate from day one.
Building block and optional modules
The HAFN Standard Platform consists of a mandatory base building block — the platform foundation — and clearly defined optional extension modules. You implement exactly what you need today and extend as required. Each module corresponds to a service module in HAFN Betrieb Platform.
The heart of every HAFN Standard Platform
This building block forms the foundation for every HAFN Azure implementation. With it we establish the fundamental structures on which everything else builds.
Clear management structure
Azure Management Groups, subscriptions and resource groups — hierarchically organised, built for growth.
Automated governance
Azure Policies enforce security and compliance requirements consistently and rigorously.
Hub-spoke network architecture
Secure connection of existing IT environments to the Azure cloud.
Centralised logging
Azure Log Analytics for full transparency from day one.
Secure administrative access
Azure Lighthouse enables HAFN to support your environment efficiently and in a controlled way.
Extend when you need to
Networking with NVA
Network Virtual Appliance — either OPNsense (cost-efficient) or Azure Firewall (maximum integration). Central control over network traffic, logical separation, preparation for site-to-site VPN.
Monitoring and Alerting
Based on Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and AMBA. VMs, databases, networking and platform services with proven monitoring rules.
Backup Operations
Azure Backup, Site Recovery and Business Continuity Center. Azure Policies ensure new resources are automatically added to the backup process.
Security and Compliance
Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Policy and Security Center. AI-supported threat detection with central posture management.
Log Streaming
Azure Event Hub and Azure Grafana. Log data continuously captured, normalised and visualised in interactive dashboards — complements Monitoring and Alerting.
What sets HAFN Standard Platform apart
Proven architecture
No experiment — a sound base configuration based on relevant data-protection and IT-security requirements, Microsoft best practices and the experience of the HAFN crew.
Fixed price for implementation
Not a hard-to-plan project with bespoke billing, but a firmly defined automated rollout. No surprises.
Infrastructure as Code
Modern tools such as Bicep/IaC — your infrastructure is traceable and reproducible.
Direct transition into operation
Each module finds its direct continuation in HAFN Betrieb Platform — without a handover break.
Microsoft Best Practices
Developed and audited by Microsoft and complemented by experience from over 10 years of Azure expertise.
Both phases. One partner.
The HAFN Standard Platform is the first step. The second is HAFN Betrieb Platform — ongoing operation with defined SLAs and dedicated contacts.
