Entra ID
MFA coverage, risky sign-ins, conditional access, and cleaner privileged accounts in Microsoft 365.
Entra ID and Active Directory
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.
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
MFA coverage, risky sign-ins, conditional access, and cleaner privileged accounts in Microsoft 365.
Trusts, identity flow, and the operational reality of more than one forest, without pretending it is simple.
On-prem directories and Entra ID working together, so people sign in once and admins know who owns what.
Admin roles, shared mailboxes, and break-glass accounts that exist on purpose rather than by habit.
Step 1
Forests, tenants, sync, and the accounts that can do real damage if they are stolen.
Step 2
MFA, privileged access, and policies rolled out in waves so staff are not locked out by design.
Step 3
Who administers what, and which exceptions are intentional.
Step 4
A baseline your team or MSP can run, plus a short list of what to do next.
