Identity platforms
The directories and account systems that establish who a person is across the environment.
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Active Directory
- Microsoft 365 identities
- Google Workspace identities
- Hybrid identity dependencies
Access should follow the person.
Identity and access work covering accounts, roles, devices, applications, administrative privilege, onboarding, offboarding, and ongoing review.
What this capability covers.
The work includes the individual systems below and the dependencies connecting them to the wider environment.
Authentication
Sign-in controls that verify more than a password and account for location, device, and risk.
- Multi-factor authentication
- Conditional Access policies
- Single sign-on configuration
- Password and sign-in policies
- Emergency access accounts
Roles and permissions
Access designed around job responsibilities, least privilege, and understandable group membership.
- Role and group design
- Administrative privilege cleanup
- Shared-resource permissions
- Application access assignment
- External and guest access review
User lifecycle
Repeatable access changes from the first day of work through role changes and final offboarding.
- Account and mailbox provisioning
- Device and application assignment
- Role-change access updates
- Offboarding and session revocation
- Recurring access reviews
When this work usually starts.
Clients rarely arrive with a perfect technical diagnosis. These are the kinds of situations that point into this capability.
- 01
New hires receive accounts, devices, and application access through a different manual process every time.
- 02
Former employees, old administrators, vendors, or guest users may still have access nobody has reviewed.
- 03
Multi-factor authentication exists in some places but is not consistently required across the environment.
- 04
People have broad access because permissions were assigned directly instead of through understandable roles or groups.
- 05
A role change, department move, or termination requires hunting through several systems to update access.
- 06
A client questionnaire, audit, or insurance renewal asks who has access and the business cannot produce a reliable answer.
Rebuilding the user lifecycle
Identity work is complete when the same business event produces a predictable change across accounts, applications, devices, files, and administration.
Start with business roles
Translate departments and responsibilities into understandable access patterns before changing individual permissions.
Enforce and test
Configure identity controls directly, then test normal access, elevated access, blocked access, and recovery paths.
Make changes repeatable
Leave onboarding, role-change, review, and offboarding procedures that the business can run consistently.
- 01
Inventory identity systems, accounts, groups, applications, roles, guests, and current administrative access.
- 02
Define standard roles, approval points, authentication requirements, and onboarding or offboarding checklists.
- 03
Configure groups, MFA, Conditional Access, SSO, administrative roles, and required application access.
- 04
Test representative users, devices, locations, role changes, and account removal before broad rollout.
- 05
Document the lifecycle, access model, exception process, and ownership of future changes.
What stays with the business.
Completion includes the records and access needed to understand, support, and change the environment afterward.
Identity inventory
A record of directories, domains, accounts, groups, guests, applications, and administrative roles.
Access model
Documented roles, group membership, approval points, exceptions, and important shared-resource permissions.
Lifecycle procedures
Repeatable onboarding, role-change, and offboarding checklists covering the connected environment.
Control record
The MFA, Conditional Access, SSO, password, administrative, and recovery controls that were configured and tested.

Enforcing zero-trust access with Conditional Access and Intune
A client needed stronger control over which devices and users could access company data, without relying on a traditional perimeter model where a correct password alone was enough to get in.
