CIAM Migration Readiness Assessment
A fixed-scope engagement that gives your organisation a clear migration plan, risk register, and implementation roadmap for moving from Azure AD B2C to Microsoft Entra External ID. Delivered in two to three weeks.
Migration planning before migration engineering.
Azure AD B2C environments accumulate complexity over time. Custom policies, social identity providers, schema extensions, and tightly coupled application integrations build up in ways that are difficult to unpick. A migration to Entra External ID is not a lift-and-shift. It is a rebuild of your customer identity platform, and the decisions you make at the start determine the cost, risk, and timeline of the entire programme.
This assessment gives you the complete picture before you commit to implementation. You get a documented inventory of your current state, a recommended migration approach tailored to your environment, and a management-ready deliverable your team can use to build a business case and brief engineering.
is as far as Microsoft's support commitment for Azure AD B2C goes. B2C P2 Identity Protection was retired in March 2026. Organisations still on B2C are already losing capability.
What we assess and deliver.
A comprehensive inventory and analysis of your B2C environment, producing the artefacts you need to plan and approve a migration programme.
B2C tenant inventory
User population analysis
Credential strategy recommendation
Implementation roadmap
Risk register
Regulatory compliance mapping
A structured engagement in three phases.
The assessment follows a repeatable methodology. You know what you are getting, when you are getting it, and what it costs before we start.
Kickoff and tenant discovery
Week 1Discovery
We conduct discovery workshops with your identity and application teams, establish read-only access to your B2C tenant, and begin the technical inventory. We map user flows, custom policies, identity providers, schema extensions, and application registrations.
Technical analysis and approach design
Week 2Analysis
We analyse the inventory against Entra External ID capabilities, identify gaps and risks, design the recommended migration approach, and draft the credential strategy. Application integration dependencies are mapped and sequenced.
Deliverable handover and briefing
Week 3Delivery
We deliver the complete assessment pack: tenant inventory, migration approach document, risk register, regulatory compliance mapping, and implementation roadmap. A management briefing session walks your stakeholders through the findings and recommendations.
CIAM migration in an Australian regulatory landscape.
Every user profile in your Entra External ID tenant is subject to Australian regulatory obligations. We ensure your migration approach is compliant from the start, not retrofitted after the fact.

100% Australian-owned. Sovereign delivery.
Modern 42 is a 100% Australian-owned and operated identity consultancy. Our consultants hold AGSVA security clearances and deliver from Australia. Your CIAM migration assessment is conducted by engineers who understand the Australian regulatory landscape because they work in it every day. Not by an offshore team applying a generic migration playbook.
This matters because CIAM is not just a technical migration. It is a change to how your organisation stores, processes, and governs customer identity data. The decisions made during migration have direct implications for your obligations under the Privacy Act, your sector-specific regulatory requirements, and your organisation's data sovereignty posture.
