Solutions / Microsoft Entra consulting
Microsoft Entra consulting for tenants already licensed for it.
Most Microsoft 365 tenants pay for Entra ID Protection, Privileged Identity Management and Conditional Access every month, then leave the policies at defaults or in report-only mode. Identra turns those licensed capabilities into a working policy set with documented rollout, staged enforcement, and a handover pack the internal team can maintain.

01 / What we configure
Four capability areas, sequenced by risk reduction per hour.
- 01
Conditional Access policy design
Sign-in risk from Entra ID Protection, device compliance from Intune, plus location and application signals combined into a policy set that blocks the risky and lets the legitimate through untouched. Report-only policies are graduated to enforcement in a staged rollout with rollback windows.

Privileged Identity Management
Global Administrator and other high-impact roles converted from permanent assignments to just-in-time activations with approval, MFA and time-boxed access. Emergency-access accounts documented and monitored separately.
PIMJITApproval workflows - 03
Phishing-resistant authentication
Passkeys, Windows Hello for Business and FIDO2 rolled out to privileged users first, then all users through registration campaigns. Legacy authentication disabled to close the MFA-bypass gap.

Access reviews and entitlement management
Recurring reviews on privileged roles, business-critical applications and guest accounts, with access packages for common request patterns. Joiner/mover/leaver automation via Entra Lifecycle Workflows so access follows people through role changes.

02 / What it looks like
Three engagements, one pattern.
Different sectors, different starting states, same shape of work: the licensed controls exist, they are just not enforced.
IT Director, 200 to 500 users
Situation. Migrated to Microsoft 365 E5 in the last two years. Conditional Access is present but sitting in report-only. MFA is on but users can still fall back to app passwords. Global Administrator role is held by three people permanently.
Outcome. CA policies moved to enforcement in three graduated batches. Legacy auth disabled tenant-wide. PIM turned on so Global Admin activates only when needed. Documented runbook handed to the internal team.
CISO at a US financial services firm
Situation. Regulated for SOX ITGC. Auditors have asked for evidence that privileged access is monitored and reviewed. Currently answered with a Word document, updated quarterly.
Outcome. PIM configured on every privileged Entra role with mandatory activation approval. Sentinel workbook produces the audit trail exportable on demand. Quarterly access review runs automatically and flags approvers.
Security lead at a healthcare organisation
Situation. HIPAA-covered. Clinical staff work on shared tablets between wards. Currently every device is trusted equally. A single stolen password could reach patient records.
Outcome. Device compliance policy blocks non-managed devices. Sign-in risk policy adds MFA when the tablet is used from an unusual location. Break-glass account isolated with alerting on any use.
