The Clarity Check is an Azure Governance & Cost Audit service offered by unify-it.com. It is not positioned as a traditional code development tool, but as a governance, cost, and risk audit service for Azure cloud infrastructure. The page highlights strategic advice from an independent Fractional CTO / Cloud Strategist. Its target customers include scale-ups, SMBs, and larger enterprises in the Netherlands, with the main goals of reducing cloud costs, minimizing security blind spots, and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Its core methodology is the “Big 5 Scan,” which covers five common cloud governance issues: identifying unused resources that continue to generate costs, detecting exposed RDP/SSH ports, cleaning up expired Service Principals and excessive permissions, validating backup strategies and checking for single points of failure, and uncovering architecture drift from best practices or excessive fragmentation. The service also introduces a Cloud Sovereignty Index to assess cloud sovereignty and vendor lock-in risks. The page does not mention support for specific programming languages, frameworks, APIs, or SDKs, nor does it indicate any self-hosting capability. As such, it is better understood as an expert audit service rather than a tool platform that can be integrated into a development pipeline.
Pricing is relatively transparent: Snapshot costs a one-time €1,950 and includes checks for cost efficiency, security compliance, Cloud Sovereignty Index, and architecture health; Deep Dive costs a one-time €3,450 and adds a 2-hour online strategy workshop plus a technical remediation roadmap; Guardian starts from €950/month, with a minimum term of 6 months, and provides monthly Big 5 scans, quarterly strategic reviews, and on-demand Fractional CTO support, but requires completion of a Deep Dive baseline first.
Its strengths are a clear focus, public pricing, coverage of high-value cost and security issues, and an emphasis on delivering a small number of key action recommendations in business context rather than a generic report. The limitations are also obvious: the page only reflects Azure support, with no clear information on multi-cloud coverage, an automation platform, APIs, sample reports, or tool integrations; the prerequisite for Guardian also raises the entry barrier for ongoing service. It is suitable for companies whose Azure spending is growing quickly, whose responsibility boundaries have become unclear after team expansion, or that are concerned about permissions and backup risks.
The page does not provide information on access from China. Actual availability, payment methods, and cross-border consulting delivery need to be confirmed separately. For tool-based alternatives, consider Azure Cost Management, Azure Advisor, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, CloudHealth, CloudCheckr, Kubecost, and similar options. If the focus is on local Chinese clouds and compliance, it may be necessary to choose governance tools from local cloud providers or a domestic MSP.
