Why it matters

Identity is the new perimeter.

Traditional network boundaries have become increasingly flexible with cloud adoption, remote workforces, and mobile access. Your organisation's resources are everywhere, increasing your digital footprint and exposure to identity-based threats.

In a Zero Trust architecture, identity verification is the cornerstone of every security decision. Securing identities means securing the front door to your business, including applications, data, and critical infrastructure.

Securing your Entra ID is not a set-and-forget proposition. Modern 42 partners with you to ensure a healthy and resilient configuration, an appropriate framework to retain that posture, and continuous visibility into the effectiveness of your identity perimeter.

Our Entra ID services

Securing Entra ID is not a
set-and-forget job.

You need to work at ensuring your configuration remains robust, provides coverage, and does not have gaps.

Conditional Access Review and Framework

We review your Conditional Access policies to identify bypass risks and coverage gaps, then design and document a framework that ensures all new or modified policies remain robust and do not weaken your security posture. Start with our Conditional Access Review advisory service, or validate your policies with our Conditional Access Policy testing toolkit.

Conditional Access Reporting

Establish continuous monitoring, reporting, and alerting for your Conditional Access policies. Keep your identity perimeter visible, compliant, and resilient.

Identity Lifecycle Management

Joiner, mover, leaver automation driven by your HR source of truth. Ensure accounts are provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned consistently across Entra ID and connected systems.

Application Governance Dashboard

Gain visibility into legacy protocols, highly privileged service principals, expiring credentials, and workload identity risks. Dashboards keep your environment aligned to your ICT policy controls.

Engineering and Configuration

Our engineers deploy and configure in accordance with your business and technical design. Modern 42 is recognised by Microsoft as an IAM specialist partner.

Entra ID Operating Model

Too many cooks spoil the broth when locking down Entra ID. Our service design team helps you define your operating model, standard operating procedures, and RACIs to ensure clear accountability.

Global Secure Access

Zero Trust network access through Microsoft Entra. Replace traditional VPN with identity-aware, Conditional Access-integrated connectivity for private applications and internet traffic.

Access Reviews

Periodic entitlement reviews to ensure users retain only the access they need. We configure and operationalise access review campaigns across groups, applications, and privileged roles.

B2B Inbound and Outbound Collaboration

Configure cross-tenant access policies, external identity federation, and guest lifecycle management. Enable secure collaboration with partners and suppliers without compromising your security posture.

Phishing Resistant MFA Uplift

Uplift your authentication posture by rolling out phishing resistant MFA methods such as FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, and certificate-based authentication. We assess your current MFA landscape, plan the migration path, and enforce phishing resistant strengths through Conditional Access.

Entra Verified ID

Strengthen help desk identity verification with Entra Verified ID. Reduce the risk of social engineering attacks by enabling cryptographic proof of identity before account recovery or privileged actions.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about securing your Microsoft Entra ID environment with Modern 42.

No. Securing Entra ID is not a set-and-forget exercise. Your tenant configuration changes as your organisation grows, new applications are onboarded, and Microsoft releases new capabilities. We help you establish frameworks and operating models that keep your posture strong over time.
No. Most engagements begin with a review of your current configuration. We identify gaps, misconfigurations, and quick wins before recommending any changes. We work with what you have and improve it.
Yes. We design and document Conditional Access policy frameworks that ensure new or modified policies remain robust and do not weaken the security posture of other applications. This includes naming conventions, policy groupings, exclusion governance, and testing procedures.
We don't like to reinvent the wheel. If we have existing IP that covers your requirements, we will use it and the price will reflect that. We would rather spend time tailoring a proven approach to your environment than building the same document from scratch.
Application governance is critical to securing Entra ID. We help you gain visibility into legacy protocols, highly privileged service principals, expiring credentials, and workload identity risks. Dashboards and alerts keep your environment aligned to your ICT policy controls.
Yes. We offer managed identity services for organisations that want ongoing operational support for their Entra ID environment. This includes monitoring, configuration management, and incident response.
Yes. As organisations adopt agentic AI and agent blueprints, governing workload identities extends to AI agents. Our application governance approach covers Agent IDs alongside service principals and managed identities, ensuring your AI agents operate within the same security and compliance boundaries as the rest of your identity estate.
Yes. As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner, we can advise on the right Entra ID and Defender licensing for your organisation. We help you understand which features require which licence tiers, identify where you may be over or under-licensed, and ensure you are getting value from the capabilities you are paying for.
