Identity & Access (Entra ID)

Only the right people, on the right resources.

Identity is the new perimeter. With Entra ID, multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access we make sure access is checked based on context — regardless of location or device.

Context

Why now.

More than 80% of security incidents in Microsoft environments start with compromised identities. Modern phishing kits bypass classic MFA; token theft and adversary-in-the-middle attacks are now the norm. Without Conditional Access, phishing-resistant factors and continuous identity hygiene, any M365 tenant remains an open target.

Classic / on-prem

Active Directory, GPOs and VPN as core building blocks. Local passwords, limited MFA and no consistent access model.

With CloudPandas

Entra ID as identity platform, Conditional Access with risk signals, MFA and zero-trust principles.

Frequently asked

What customers ask first.

Do we need Entra ID P2?

For risk-based Conditional Access and PIM, yes. We assess your needs and recommend the most cost-effective license mix.

Do we have to shut down AD?

No. Hybrid setups with Entra Connect or Cloud Sync run stably — we only migrate when it makes sense.

How much effort is an MFA rollout?

Typically 4–8 weeks including pilot group, user training and a defined enforcement date.

What happens during an MFA outage?

We set up documented break-glass accounts and fallback procedures, tested annually.
