Identity Security: Entra ID and Hybrid Identity · Security, Identity & Compliance
We think our identity controls are good, but we need to be able to prove it.
For CISO, CIO, IT director, identity and security teams, risk and audit leaders
Identity is now the main way into most organizations. Many have MFA "for most users", a growing set of Conditional Access policies, standing admin rights and service accounts without clear owners. We start by finding and ranking the identity risks in Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory. Then we fix them in a controlled way: Conditional Access enforced in rings, stronger authentication, time-bound privileged access and a cleaner hybrid directory, without locking people out. You get audit-ready evidence, often using security you already license.
How we work
What we do
Open a step to see what happens and what you receive.
Advisory: Zero Trust Identity Strategy & Roadmap
Advisory, with an optional ongoing vCISO cadence. For leaders who need a risk-based, identity-first security roadmap with clear priorities and measures for the board or an auditor.
- Risk appetite and business-risk workshop
- Current posture review: Secure Score, Conditional Access inventory and MFA coverage
- Zero Trust identity target state, phased
- Strategies for Conditional Access, privileged access and hybrid identity
- Licensing dependencies across Entra ID P1 and P2
You receive: a Zero Trust identity target state, Conditional Access, privileged access and hybrid identity strategies, a licensing dependency note, a 12-month roadmap with KPIs and an executive or board briefing.
Assess: Identity Security Assessment (Entra ID & Hybrid AD)
Fixed fee. For CISOs and risk owners who need evidence of identity risk, not opinions.
- Entra ID review: MFA coverage and methods, Conditional Access, older sign-in methods, roles, guests and app consent
- Privileged access and PIM readiness
- On-premises Active Directory and sync health review
- Service account inventory and risk rating
- Scoring against Zero Trust identity principles and recognized baselines
You receive: an identity security assessment report, a ranked findings register, a privileged access gap analysis, a service account risk register, a remediation roadmap and an executive readout.
Implement: Entra ID Hardening: Conditional Access, PIM & Hybrid Identity Cleanup
Project under a statement of work. For organizations with identified identity gaps that need fixing without disrupting users or breaking applications.
- Break-glass accounts and admin account separation in place before anything changes
- Stronger MFA, with phishing-resistant options for administrators
- Conditional Access in report-only mode first, then enforced in staged rings with your approval
- Older sign-in methods blocked only after dependent applications are dealt with
- PIM and access reviews for privileged roles and guests
- Active Directory clean-up, sync rationalization and service account remediation
You receive: an enforced Conditional Access policy set, PIM deployment and access reviews, a cleaned AD and sync configuration, a service account remediation register, a validation report, and runbooks and administrator training.

Good to know
Questions leaders ask
We already have MFA. What would you find?
That's a strong start. The gaps are usually at the edges: accounts excluded from policies, weaker methods, older sign-in methods that bypass MFA, and service accounts that can't use it. The assessment verifies coverage instead of assuming it.
Will stricter Conditional Access lock people out or break applications?
Break-glass accounts are in place before anything changes. Policies run in report-only mode first, enforcement happens in staged rings with your approval at each step, and older sign-in methods are blocked only after dependent applications are dealt with.
Do we need E5?
Not necessarily for everyone. Conditional Access is an Entra ID P1 capability included in E3 and Business Premium. PIM and access reviews need Entra ID P2, often only for the privileged population. The licensing dependency note sets this out, and entitlements are verified against current Microsoft documentation.
Is this a penetration test?
No. The assessment is a configuration and health review using read-only access and agreed tools. Penetration testing, red teaming and exploitation are outside the scope.
Microsoft Secure Score already tells us what to fix. Why an assessment?
Secure Score is useful, and we use it. It doesn't review on-premises AD, sync rules or who owns each service account, and it doesn't rank fixes against your business risk. The findings register does.
Will this satisfy our cyber insurer or auditor?
It produces documented controls, a findings register, validation results and reports that support those reviews. Whether they meet a specific insurer's or regulator's requirement is for your compliance and risk teams to decide.
Security is handled by another team. How does this fit?
We support that program rather than replace it. The findings register and remediation feed into it, and monitoring is handed off to whoever runs your security operations.
We've had an incident. Can you help?
Forensic investigation and incident response are outside this offering. An active incident needs immediate attention; contact us and we will route it straight away.
