Identity & Access Security
Identity is the perimeter that actually matters now.
Your data follows the account, not the office
Once mail, files and line-of-business systems are reachable from anywhere, the account becomes the boundary. An attacker with valid credentials does not need to break anything. They simply sign in.
Identity work is about making a valid password insufficient on its own, limiting what any single account can reach, and knowing quickly when an account starts behaving unlike its owner.
Scope
What we implement and maintain
We deploy multi-factor authentication in a form people will actually use, write conditional access policy that reflects how and where your business operates, separate administrative accounts from daily-use accounts, and run access reviews so permissions do not accumulate silently.
Multi-factor authentication
Phishing-resistant methods where they fit, with a documented process for lost devices and new starters.
Conditional access
Policies based on device state, location and risk, tested against real working patterns before enforcement.
Privileged access
Administrative rights separated, limited and monitored, rather than attached to everyday accounts.
Access reviews
Regular confirmation that people still need what they have, particularly after role changes.
Joiners, movers and leavers
A repeatable process so access starts and stops with employment, not with someone remembering.
Sign-in monitoring
Alerting on the sign-in patterns that indicate a session or credential has been taken.
What you get
What changes when identity & access security is handled well
- A stolen password on its own no longer gets an attacker in.
- Administrative access limited to the people and moments that need it.
- Departing staff losing access on the day they leave.
- Permissions that reflect current roles rather than three roles ago.
A practical note on identity & access security
Poorly designed conditional access breaks travel, field work and shared devices. We map genuine working patterns first, then enforce, and we keep a tested break-glass account so policy cannot lock everyone out.
How we deliver it
How we deliver identity & access security
Inventory identities
Accounts, guests, service principals, shared mailboxes and anything with standing administrative rights.
Roll out in report-only mode
Policies run in report-only first so their real impact is visible before enforcement.
Review on a cycle
Access, admin roles and policy exceptions are re-checked on the cadence set in your plan.
