Entra ID and Active Directory

Entra ID and Active Directory consultancy

Hybrid identity, multi-forest Active Directory, and Entra ID for UK SMEs and mid-size organisations. Identity that staff can live with and attackers find harder to abuse.

Identity is usually the shortest path in

Stolen passwords, standing admin rights, and forests that have grown over years are more common than exotic attacks. The work here is to make identity boring again: people get in, admins are few, and you can explain the directory to the next person who looks after it.

That covers Entra ID in Microsoft 365, on-prem Active Directory (including multi-forest), and the hybrid join between them. It sits next to Intune and tenant hardening and the Zero Trust baseline.

Who this is for

  • UK organisations with Microsoft 365 and leftover on-prem directories
  • Multi-forest Active Directory that still has to work every Monday
  • Teams that want MFA and conditional access without daily lockouts
  • Internal IT or MSPs who need senior identity help for a defined piece of work

What we help with

Entra ID

MFA coverage, risky sign-ins, conditional access, and cleaner privileged accounts in Microsoft 365.

Multi-forest Active Directory

Trusts, identity flow, and the operational reality of more than one forest, without pretending it is simple.

Hybrid identity

On-prem directories and Entra ID working together, so people sign in once and admins know who owns what.

Least privilege

Admin roles, shared mailboxes, and break-glass accounts that exist on purpose rather than by habit.

How an engagement runs

  1. Step 1

    Map

    Forests, tenants, sync, and the accounts that can do real damage if they are stolen.

  2. Step 2

    Tighten

    MFA, privileged access, and policies rolled out in waves so staff are not locked out by design.

  3. Step 3

    Document

    Who administers what, and which exceptions are intentional.

  4. Step 4

    Hand over

    A baseline your team or MSP can run, plus a short list of what to do next.
