What is Microsoft Entra

Secure identity and access across your organisation

Microsoft Entra is Microsoft’s family of cloud identity and access management solutions.

Entra helps organisations manage identities, authenticate users, control access and apply security policies based on factors such as who the user is, what device they’re using, where they’re accessing from and the risk associated with the sign-in.

Capabilities including multifactor authentication, Conditional Access, passwordless authentication, identity protection and Privileged Identity Management help organisations move towards a Zero Trust approach where access is continuously evaluated rather than automatically trusted.

What we help with

Business problems we solve with Entra

Identity sits at the centre of your security environment. We help organisations strengthen how users authenticate, control access to resources and manage privileged identities, while making sure security controls remain practical for the people who need to use them.

Strengthen identity security

Protect user accounts against common identity-based attacks by strengthening authentication, access controls and identity protection.

We help you implement practical security measures such as multifactor authentication, Conditional Access and risk-based policies without creating unnecessary friction for users.

Secure access to Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 gives users access to a wide range of business information and applications, making identity controls an important part of your security boundary.

We help you establish appropriate access policies across Microsoft 365 and use Entra to control when, where and how users can access organisational resources.

Enable secure hybrid working

Users increasingly need to access business resources from different locations, devices and networks.

We help you apply identity and access controls that support flexible working while considering factors such as user risk, device compliance, location and the sensitivity of the resource being accessed.

Where appropriate, we can also help organisations use Entra Global Secure Access to provide secure, identity-based access to internet and private applications.

Reduce privileged access

Administrator accounts provide powerful access to your environment and are therefore an important target for attackers.

We help organisations reduce unnecessary privilege, protect administrative accounts and implement controls such as Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management and just-in-time access.

Simplify authentication

Multiple passwords and inconsistent authentication experiences can create both security and usability challenges.

We help organisations modernise authentication through capabilities such as passwordless authentication, single sign-on and Microsoft Authenticator, improving the user experience while strengthening security.

Manage external identities

Customers, partners and other external users may need access to your applications and information without becoming full members of your organisation.

We help you establish appropriate identity and access models for external users while maintaining control over what they can access.

Improve identity management

Identity security depends on more than authentication. Organisations also need effective processes for creating, changing and removing access as people join, move roles or leave.

We help you improve identity lifecycle management and establish processes that reduce unnecessary access and support better security over time.

How we deliver Microsoft Entra Consulting Services

Building secure and seamless identity

Our team helps organisations make the most of Microsoft Entra, from initial strategy and readiness through to deployment and ongoing optimisation.

Strengthening identity security, simplifying access and establishing the controls needed to support secure modern working, we combine Microsoft best practice with practical implementation and knowledge transfer to help organisations confidently manage their identity and access environment while reducing risk and improving the user experience.

Why Intelogy for Microsoft Entra expertise

Identity expertise with a security-first approach

Identity is fundamental to modern security. Microsoft Entra provides powerful controls, but they need to be designed around your users, applications and risk profile to be effective.

Our Microsoft security expertise allows us to consider identity alongside device security, threat protection and information protection rather than treating Entra as an isolated technology.

Microsoft Entra Consulting

Where Microsoft Entra fits into your security strategy

Identity is the foundation of secure access.

Almost every interaction with your Microsoft 365 environment begins with an identity. Protecting those identities and controlling what they can access is therefore fundamental to reducing security risk.

Microsoft Entra supports several areas of our wider security approach:

Understand Your Security & AI Risk

Assess identity configuration, authentication, privileged access and Conditional Access to identify weaknesses that could expose your organisation.

Build Your Secure Foundations

Establish strong identity controls including MFA, Conditional Access, secure authentication and appropriate access policies as part of your Microsoft 365 security baseline.

Protect Your Business

Reduce the likelihood and impact of identity-based attacks by protecting accounts, managing privileged access and responding to risky authentication activity.

Protect Your Sensitive Data

Use identity and access controls to help ensure that sensitive information is only accessible to appropriately authorised users and devices.

Secure AI Adoption

As AI services and agents gain access to organisational resources, strong identity controls become increasingly important. Entra helps establish who can access AI services, what they can access and under what conditions.

Featured Microsoft Entra Case Study

Bringing two organisations together through a unified identity platform

When an international audio-visual leader acquired a UK-based organisation, both entities were already operating within the same Microsoft 365 tenant.

Intelogy delivered a complex identity migration that established a new on-premises source of authority while seamlessly preserving cloud identities, licences, permissions, and user access across the global domain.

What we delivered:

  • Identity alignment: Realigned Entra identities to a new synchronisation source without disrupting existing accounts, data, or application permissions

  • Domain migration: Seamlessly migrated Active Directory users, groups, and computer objects into the global domain

  • Cross-platform support: Successfully transitioned both Windows and macOS endpoints between domains while maintaining existing device configurations

  • Standardised identity foundation: Established a scalable identity framework that simplifies administration, strengthens security governance, and supports future acquisition initiatives
