Entra ID Is Already Your Identity Platform.
Most Organisations Have Configured 20% of It.Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) is the identity backbone of the Microsoft ecosystem — used by virtually every enterprise for M365, Azure, and federated access to third-party SaaS. Yet most deployments have basic SSO configured and little else. Conditional Access policies are either absent or set to legacy authentication only. PIM is not activated. Guest access is ungoverned. The platform is already licensed. The configuration is missing.Symhas implements Microsoft Entra ID governance — Conditional Access enforcing Zero-Trust access for every user and every application, Privileged Identity Management eliminating standing administrator access, Identity Governance with access reviews, and Entra ID Protection detecting compromised identities before they are exploited.

Conditional Access & Zero-Trust IdentityConditional Access · MFA · Named locations · Device compliance · App protection
Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access implements Zero-Trust identity — every access request evaluated against user identity, device compliance, location, and risk signal before access is granted, with MFA required for all users accessing all applications, and legacy authentication blocked.
MFA registration campaign — all users enrolled in MFA via targeted registration policy
Baseline Conditional Access policies — MFA for admins, MFA for all users, legacy auth block, risky sign-in block
Device compliance — Intune-managed and compliant device required for corporate resource access
Named locations — trusted IP ranges excluding from some MFA prompts for low-risk access
App protection policies — MAM policies enforcing data protection on mobile without full MDM enrolment
Every user accessing every application verified against identity, device, and risk — no unprotected access paths
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)JIT elevation · Approval workflow · Time-limited · Audit log · Global Admin
Microsoft Entra PIM eliminates standing privileged role assignments — administrators request just-in-time role elevation for a defined period, with approval workflow for the most sensitive roles, MFA at elevation, and a full audit trail of every privileged action.
PIM activation for all privileged Entra ID and Azure RBAC roles
Eligible vs active assignments — all admins moved to eligible, standing assignments removed
Approval workflow — Global Administrator and Privileged Role Administrator require approval
Time-limited elevation — maximum activation period enforced per role (e.g. Global Admin: 4 hours)
Audit log — every elevation request, approval, and privileged action in the PIM audit trail
No one has standing Global Administrator access — every privileged action is time-limited, approved, and logged
Identity Governance & Access ReviewsEntitlement management · Access packages · Access reviews · Lifecycle workflows
Microsoft Entra Identity Governance manages the lifecycle of access to applications and groups — entitlement management packages granting access to related resources in one request, periodic access reviews ensuring access remains appropriate, and lifecycle workflows automating joiner/mover/leaver processes.
Entitlement management — access packages grouping application, group, and SharePoint access by role
Self-service access requests — users request access packages with approver workflow
Access reviews — periodic reviews of group membership, application assignments, and privileged roles
Lifecycle workflows — automated tasks triggered on hire, role change, and departure from HR signals
Terms of use — acceptance required for sensitive application access with audit trail
Access granted appropriately, reviewed periodically, and revoked automatically — no orphaned permissions accumulating
Entra ID Protection & Risky Identity DetectionSign-in risk · User risk · Compromised credentials · Risky users · Risk-based CA
Microsoft Entra ID Protection applies Microsoft threat intelligence to every sign-in and user account — detecting anomalous sign-in patterns, leaked credentials, and suspicious user behaviour, and feeding risk signals directly into Conditional Access for automated response.
Sign-in risk detection — anonymous IP, impossible travel, malware-linked IP, suspicious browser
User risk detection — leaked credentials matched against Microsoft dark web monitoring
Risk-based Conditional Access — medium risk requires MFA, high risk requires password reset
Risky users dashboard — security team view of all high-risk users and recommended actions
Self-remediation — users resolve risk through MFA or password reset without helpdesk involvement
Compromised credentials detected automatically — risk-based Conditional Access responds before the attacker does

Financial Services · Entra ID Governance$25B AUM Asset Manager.
Zero Standing Admin Access. 100% MFA. Zero Audit Findings.

The asset management firm was using Entra ID for M365 but had only 2 Conditional Access policies (both in report-only mode), 8 users with standing Global Administrator access, no PIM, and 340 guest accounts with no access reviews. The external auditor had flagged identity governance as a significant deficiency.

Symhas implemented full Entra ID governance in 4 weeks — 23 Conditional Access policies enforcing Zero-Trust access, PIM converting all 8 Global Admins to eligible, Identity Governance access packages for the 12 most-accessed application groups, and Entra ID Protection with risk-based CA. Auditor deficiency closed.

What was delivered

Entra ID Governance — Financial Services Deployment

→Conditional Access — 23 policies enforced: MFA for all, legacy auth blocked, compliant device required for corp apps
→PIM — 8 Global Admin standing assignments converted to eligible with 4-hour maximum activation
→PIM approval — Global Admin and Privileged Role Admin require approval from 2 existing PAs before elevation
→Identity Governance — 12 access packages covering M365, Azure, and core business application access
→Access reviews — quarterly review of all privileged roles, all guest accounts, and all application assignments
→Entra ID Protection — 47 risky sign-in events detected in first week, all investigated, 3 accounts confirmed compromised and reset

“We had 8 people with Global Admin standing access and nobody had reviewed that list in 2 years. Symhas implemented PIM and ran the first privileged role access review in week 3. The auditor closed the deficiency at the next assessment.”

Why Symhas
Azure Expertise Built from Production Deployments.
Conditional Access Validated in Report-Only Before EnforcementConditional Access policies enforced without validation lock users out of critical systems. Symhas deploys every CA policy in report-only mode, validates impact against sign-in logs, and only enforces after the security team reviews expected impact.
Every Admin Role Inventoried Before PIM ActivationPIM activation without a clean role inventory creates confusion during the first elevation. Symhas conducts a full privileged role inventory and removes unnecessary assignments before PIM is activated — so every eligible assignment is intentional.
Access Reviews Launched Before HandoverAccess governance only works if reviews actually run. Symhas launches and completes the first access review cycle for privileged roles and guest accounts before the engagement ends — the process is proven before Symhas steps back.
Entra ID Protection Reviewed With the Security TeamEntra ID Protection detects compromised accounts but only if someone triages the alerts. Symhas reviews the first week of risky sign-in data with the security team — confirming investigation workflow before handover.
MFA Registration Managed, Not MandatedForcing MFA without a managed registration campaign causes helpdesk surges. Symhas runs a targeted MFA registration campaign before enforcement — users register with guidance, not with a lockout error.
Identity Team Certified on CA AdministrationBy handover your identity team creates and modifies Conditional Access policies and manages PIM independently. Certified before the first live identity event requires a policy change.
