CORE CAPABILITIES
Identity Governance
Identity governance covering access reviews, entitlement management, segregation of duties and periodic access certification, providing visibility and control over who has access to systems and applications.
Identity Lifecycle Management
Joiner, mover and leaver processes across Entra ID, Active Directory and connected applications, including automated provisioning, access changes and timely removal of access.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) & Passwordless
MFA and passwordless authentication using methods such as FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business and certificate-based authentication, with phishing-resistant authentication applied where required.
Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration
SSO integration across cloud and on-premises applications using SAML and OpenID Connect, with centralised authentication through platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) & Password Vaulting
Privileged access controls covering credential vaulting, just-in-time access, session controls and administrative access management across platforms such as CyberArk, Keeper and native privileged access capabilities.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Role-based access design across identity platforms and business applications, aligning permissions to job functions and responsibilities with periodic access review.
Zero Trust Access
Identity and context-aware access controls using Conditional Access, device compliance and continuous verification, with access decisions based on user, device, application and other relevant signals.
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)
Detection and investigation of identity-based threats including suspicious sign-ins, credential misuse, privilege escalation, service account abuse and token-related attacks.
Conditional Access & Adaptive Authentication
Conditional Access policies that evaluate identity, device, application, location and risk signals to apply appropriate authentication and access requirements based on the context of each request.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What organisations ask about identity & access management.

What is phishing-resistant MFA and why does it matter?

Phishing-resistant MFA uses authentication methods designed to prevent credentials or authentication responses from being captured and reused through phishing. Technologies such as FIDO2 security keys and Windows Hello for Business provide stronger protection than passwords and traditional approval-based MFA methods.

Do we really need PAM for a small organisation?

PAM is relevant wherever privileged accounts can access critical systems, security platforms or sensitive data. The level of control should match the organisation's risk, with measures such as separate administrative accounts, credential vaulting, just-in-time access and stronger authentication applied where appropriate.

How do you handle joiner, mover and leaver processes in Microsoft 365?

We design identity lifecycle processes using Microsoft Entra ID and, where applicable, HR or other source systems to provision new users, modify access when roles change and remove access promptly when people leave.

What does Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) detect that EDR may not?

ITDR focuses on identity-based activity such as suspicious sign-ins, credential misuse, privilege escalation, service account abuse and token-related attacks. It complements EDR, which primarily provides visibility and protection at the endpoint.

What is the difference between SSO and passwordless authentication?

SSO allows users to authenticate once and access multiple authorised applications through a central identity provider. Passwordless authentication changes how the user authenticates, replacing passwords with methods such as FIDO2 security keys or Windows Hello for Business. They can be used together.

What is Conditional Access?

Conditional Access evaluates signals such as user identity, device compliance, application, location and risk to determine whether access should be allowed, blocked or require additional authentication.

Can you implement Zero Trust without replacing our existing systems?

Yes. Zero Trust can be introduced progressively using existing identity, device and application platforms. This can include stronger authentication, Conditional Access, device compliance, least-privilege access and improved control over privileged accounts.

Do you support both Microsoft Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory?

Yes. We work with cloud-only, on-premises and hybrid identity environments, including Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory and integrations between identity platforms and business applications.
