Why it matters
Most Microsoft 365 breaches start with a sign-in, not a vulnerability. A well-designed set of Conditional Access policies, combined with phishing-resistant MFA and just-in-time admin access, closes the easiest paths into your tenant.
How we work
- Baseline: we review your current policies, exclusions, authentication methods and admin roles with read-only access. Try the free Conditional Access analyser for a first look.
- Design: a policy set built around personas (users, admins, guests, service accounts) and your licences (Business Premium, E3 or E5).
- Roll-out: policies start in report-only mode, we review the sign-in impact with you, then enforce in waves.
- Hand-over: documentation, a change log and a runbook for exceptions and break-glass use.
What a typical policy set covers
| Area | Example controls |
|---|---|
| All users | MFA everywhere, legacy authentication blocked, risky sign-ins challenged |
| Administrators | Phishing-resistant MFA, compliant device, short sessions, PIM activation |
| Guests | MFA and limited access to approved apps only |
| Devices | Compliant or hybrid-joined devices for sensitive apps |
| Workload identities | Restricted locations for service principals, monitored app consent |
Avoiding lock-outs
Every change is tested in report-only mode first, emergency access accounts are excluded and monitored, and roll-out happens in waves with your helpdesk briefed. Users get clear guidance when they register passkeys or new MFA methods.
What you receive
- A documented Conditional Access policy set and naming standard
- Phishing-resistant MFA rolled out to admins, then to all users
- Privileged Identity Management configured for admin roles
- User consent to apps restricted, with an admin approval workflow
