What is Azure governance?
Azure governance is the set of structures and guardrails that keep an Azure environment secure, compliant and cost-effective as it grows. Core tools are management groups and subscriptions for structure, Azure Policy for enforcing rules, Azure RBAC for access, and tagging and budgets for cost allocation. Governance is a core design area of an Azure landing zone.

Azure governance FAQs
Common questions about Azure governance.
What is Azure Policy?
A service that evaluates Azure resources against rules, such as allowed regions or required encryption, and can audit, deny or automatically fix non-compliant resources.
What are management groups?
Containers above subscriptions that let you apply policies and access controls to many subscriptions at once.
Will enforcing policies break existing workloads?
We deploy policies in audit mode first, review the impact and agree exemptions before enforcing.
Can governance help with compliance audits?
Yes. Azure Policy and Defender for Cloud provide compliance reporting against standards such as ISO 27001, NIST and CIS benchmarks.
How long does a governance project take?
Typically 3 to 8 weeks depending on the number of subscriptions and existing structure.
