Platform implementation
For organisations already on Microsoft 365 and Azure, we configure Microsoft Entra ID so that Conditional Access, privileged roles and guest access follow written policy instead of tenant defaults.
Entra ID is usually already there, created with the first Microsoft 365 tenant, so the job is to tighten what exists rather than start clean. Licence tier shapes the design: Privileged Identity Management, risk-based Conditional Access and access reviews need Entra ID P2 or Entra ID Governance, and we confirm entitlements before designing around them. Administrator roles and remote access are also the controls that NCA ECC and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation address most directly.
We start Conditional Access in report-only mode, read two to four weeks of sign-in logs, then enforce policy by persona: staff, administrators, guests and workload identities. On-premises Active Directory stays linked through Microsoft Entra Connect or Cloud Sync, and the policy set is kept as code through Microsoft Graph, so every change is reviewed before it reaches the tenant.
Microsoft Entra ID and related marks are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies.
Implementation, customisation, deployment and ongoing support, with governance your steering committee can follow.
We agree the persona model, the emergency access accounts and the Conditional Access baseline before any policy is switched on, and the information security office signs off the list of roles that move under Privileged Identity Management.
Global Administrator and other high-impact roles made eligible rather than permanent, with approval, justification and a time limit on every activation.
Cross-tenant access settings, guest invitation rules and access packages, so partners and contractors join with a sponsor and an expiry date.
An inventory of app registrations and service principals with owners assigned, secrets replaced by certificates or managed identities where possible, and unused apps removed.
Microsoft ships Entra changes continuously and announces them in the Microsoft 365 Message center and the Entra documentation, so we track retirements and preview features, and review sign-in risk, PIM activations and Conditional Access failures each week.
Entra ID fits best where Microsoft 365, Azure and Windows devices make up most of the estate and the licences already include P1 or P2 features, so a separate identity product would duplicate what is already paid for.
Tell us what the platform needs to do and when. We will propose a first phase with scope, team and an itemised quotation.
