Your team, extended with identity and privilege specialists.
Not every identity initiative needs a full project engagement. Sometimes you need an experienced IAM or PAM engineer embedded in your team, working on your priorities, on a time-and-materials basis. We provide exactly that: senior engineers with current certifications and security clearances, ready within weeks.
Specialist capacity without the hiring overhead
Identity and privilege engineering is a niche discipline. Finding engineers with current BeyondTrust certifications, Entra ID expertise, and IGA platform experience is difficult. Retaining them is harder. And the recruitment process itself can take months.
Our staff augmentation model bypasses that entirely. We place senior Modern 42 engineers directly into your team. They already have the certifications, product experience, and security clearances. You get productive capacity from day one without recruitment fees, onboarding delays, or retention risk.
This model works well for organisations with an established identity programme that need specialist capacity for specific initiatives, surge periods, or ongoing operations where internal headcount is constrained.
What our engineers bring
Every engineer we place has hands-on delivery experience across multiple client environments.
BeyondTrust PAM
Password Safe, EPM, and PRA implementation, migration, and operations. Our engineers hold current BeyondTrust certifications and have delivered 40+ PAM implementations.
Entra ID & Identity
Microsoft Entra ID configuration, Conditional Access policy design, identity lifecycle management, and federation. Deep experience across enterprise and government tenants.
Identity Observability
Apporetum deployment, configuration, and operational monitoring. Our engineers work directly with the Apporetum product team because Modern 42 built it.
Identity Governance (IGA)
Access reviews, entitlement management, role design, and governance reporting using Microsoft Entra ID Governance. Lifecycle workflow design and operational support.
SSO & Application Migration
Application migration to Entra ID. SAML, OIDC, and legacy protocol assessment. Conditional Access integration and application onboarding at scale.
Zero Trust & Architecture
Zero Trust architecture design, Conditional Access policy frameworks, and identity security posture assessment. Strategic and hands-on capability.
Flexible models for different needs
We match the engagement structure to your situation.
Short-term specialist
Two to six weeks. Targeted initiatives like a Conditional Access review, PAM health check, or application migration sprint. You get a specialist for a defined piece of work without committing to a full project.
Programme support
One to six months. Ongoing capacity for identity programmes with sustained workloads. Our engineer becomes part of your team for the duration, handling BAU operations or project delivery alongside your staff.
Team extension
Multiple engineers placed into your team for large-scale programmes. We can provide a lead engineer to coordinate the team and maintain consistent delivery. Suitable for major migrations and transformation programmes.
From scoping to knowledge transfer
A straightforward engagement model with no surprises.

Specialists, not generalists
The identity and privilege market is small. The engineers who understand BeyondTrust internals, Entra ID edge cases, and IGA platform nuances are not sitting on recruitment marketplaces. They are working at consultancies like ours, delivering real projects.
When you engage our staff augmentation service, you get access to that talent pool directly. Every engineer we place has delivered multiple identity and privilege projects and holds current vendor certifications.
