Securing Entra ID (identity)

Entra ID is the identity service behind Microsoft 365. Getting it right, with strong sign-in, conditional access and least privilege, underpins almost every other strategy.

Why it matters

Identity is the new perimeter. Entra ID is the front door to email, files and line-of-business apps, so weak sign-in settings expose everything at once.

How Conformance helps

  • Enforce MFA through Conditional Access for all users
  • Block legacy authentication protocols that bypass MFA
  • Limit and separate privileged directory roles
  • Use named locations and risk-based policies for sign-in
  • Review guest and vendor accounts regularly
How Conformance helps

Conformance validates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already produces, shows your maturity level, and tells you the next step to raise it.
