Azure Protection Viewer

The Azure Protection Viewer provides a read-only view into protection configurations and coverage across Azure environments. It consolidates Defender for Cloud findings, guardrail status, and policy alignment into a single view for security engineers, cloud architects, and compliance teams. By focusing on what is protected, where gaps exist, and how protections aggregate across subscriptions, it supports risk-informed decision making and audit readiness.
Conceptually, the tool ingests Azure inventory data described by tenant, subscriptions, resource filters, and time window, then computes a protection score and a coverage map. Required inputs include tenant_id, a set of subscription_ids, and resource_filters; optional time_window enables historical comparisons. Outputs include a protection_summary, a list of protected_resources, and actionable recommendations mapped to Defender for Cloud guidance.
Its unique value lies in fast cross-subscription visibility without executing changes, preserving data integrity while supporting exportable reports. Use cases include pre-audit scoping, risk heat mapping, and executive reporting. Target audiences are security operations, compliance officers, and cloud architects who need evidence-based posture insights and traceable protections across Azure estates.
