Conditional Access designed as policy
A documented policy set covering users, devices, locations, risk and applications.
Security
Identity and access on Microsoft Entra
Identity decides who gets in and what they can reach. BD-S designs and implements Entra ID controls that reduce risk without making everyday work harder.
The problem it solves
Why organisations look at Identity and Access
MFA with gaps
Legacy protocols, service accounts and exceptions leave paths around multi-factor authentication.
Too many standing administrators
Global admin rights granted permanently to people who need them occasionally.
External users without a model
Guests, contractors and citizens added ad hoc with unclear lifecycle.
Where BD-S adds value
More than a product install
Privileged access done properly
Privileged Identity Management, role design and access reviews.
External identity that scales
Entra External ID and B2B patterns for partners, contractors and portal users.
Change without lockouts
Report-only rollout, pilot rings and break-glass accounts so uplift is safe.
Services
Advisory and implementation
Identity assessment
Authentication methods, Conditional Access, privileged roles and app registrations reviewed.
Conditional Access and MFA
Policy design, staged rollout and legacy authentication retirement.
Privileged access
PIM, role model, access reviews and emergency access.
External identity
