Entra ID, Active Directory & MFA

Simplify sign-in and take control of access.

A secure digital workplace starts with reliable identities. We integrate Microsoft Entra ID, existing Active Directory services and suitable authentication methods with clear roles and operating procedures. A staged approach to multifactor authentication and Conditional Access balances protection, user experience and recovery.

Your options

Services that move your project forward

Map your identity environment

We review directories, domains, user groups and connected applications together. Authoritative identity sources and technical dependencies receive clear ownership.

Your benefit

Understand where identities originate and how they are used.

Structure roles and accounts

Administrative roles, user accounts and service identities are defined according to their tasks and protection needs. Joining, changing roles and leaving the organization become documented processes.

Your benefit

Authorizations can be assigned and revoked in a more targeted manner.

Introduce MFA in a usable way

Suitable login procedures, registration and support are planned with the user groups. Loss, device replacement and recovery are tested before widespread use.

Your benefit

Additional protection with prepared procedures for everyday work.

Apply Conditional Access where it adds value

Access conditions are adapted to applications, user groups and available signals. Effects are first checked before appropriate rules are enforced.

Your benefit

Traceable access rules with controlled exceptions.

Connect on-premises and cloud identities

In hybrid environments, we assess synchronization, authentication and remaining dependencies. The target architecture defines the responsibilities of on-premises systems and cloud services.

Your benefit

Coordinate identity management across your environment.

Prepare emergency access and IT operations

Administrative recovery, logging, and periodic review are all documented procedures. Your team practices relevant support and change tasks.

Your benefit

The identity solution remains operable even in the event of disruptions and personnel changes.

Where to start

Entra ID, Active Directory & MFA Use cases

Three example situations show how we can help.

Extend MFA to more employees

Technology alone is not enough for the introduction. Registration, communication, exceptions and support are prepared together.

Multiple directories complicate administration

Accounts and responsibilities have grown over the years. An inventory creates a clear vision and a secure sequence for changes.

New access rules cause unexpected lockouts

We examine affected sign-ins, overlapping rules and recovery paths, then establish a clearer process for maintaining access policies.

From requirements to results

A clear process with agreed milestones

  1. Understanding accounts and applications

    We record directories, login channels, roles, and key operational dependencies.

  2. Align access model

    User groups, methods, rules and emergency procedures are defined according to the need for protection.

  3. Run a pilot and phased rollout

    A representative group tests sign-in, failure scenarios and support procedures before the rollout expands.

  4. Assign ownership and hand over administration

    Documentation, reviews and change processes are agreed with the responsible teams.

Your benefit

What you receive

  • A documented target architecture for identities and authentication.
  • Aligned roles, MFA procedures, and access rules to the agreed scope.
  • Results of a representative pilot and a planned rollout.
  • Emergency, support and operational documents including knowledge transfer.

Ways to work with us

Choose a starting point that fits your needs. We agree the scope and required effort in a tailored proposal.

Identity and access check

For clarity: Directories, login paths, roles, and prioritized next steps.

MFA and Conditional Access pilot

For a controlled entry: selected groups, tested rules, and prepared recovery.

Hybrid identity modernization

For complex environments: target architecture, staged integration and documented handover to operations.

SYNEDAT PLATFORM

Platform experience for your project

We use these selected tools in SYNEDAT PLATFORM or its delivery processes. We adapt suitable practices to your project and align their integration with your existing systems.

Quality and the software supply chain

SonarQube · Trivy · Dependency-Track · DefectDojo · Renovate · Syft · Cosign

Code quality, vulnerabilities, dependencies and artifact provenance require different checks. Findings need to be linked to the product and delivered version, with a defined process for resolving them. Automated checks complement reviews and informed decisions.

Your benefit

Security and quality information that teams can act on.

Identities, secrets and policies

Keycloak · OpenBao · External Secrets · Kyverno

Sign-in, technical secrets and platform policies serve different purposes. We connect them with roles, limited permissions and documented exceptions. The selected tools form part of a common access and operating model.

Your benefit

Controlled access and more consistent platform policies.

Questions before you get started

What is the difference between Entra ID and Active Directory?

Both perform tasks related to identities, but have different architecture and deployment models. We check which local applications and cloud services depend on which directory. A change is not derived from the product name alone.

Do we need additional licenses for conditional access?

Licensing requirements depend on the features, user groups and contracts involved. We check your existing entitlements before planning and identify any additional requirements in the proposal.

How do we implement MFA without overloaded support?

A pilot clarifies registration, suitable methods, common errors and recovery. Communication, short instructions and an introduction by groups make the effort easier to plan. The required support is expressly agreed.

What happens if I lose a login device?

Appropriate recovery procedures and responsibilities will be defined prior to implementation. Identity verification, available alternative methods and protection against abusive resets must be aligned.

Can access rules be pre-checked?

Where the feature supports them, evaluation modes and sign-in logs help assess proposed rules. Representative users and applications also test the impact before suitable policies are enforced.

How are technical accounts and legacy applications handled?

We record purpose, dependencies and supported login procedures. Suitable target models, limited transitions and necessary exceptions are documented in a comprehensible manner. Unchecked changes can otherwise interrupt important processes.

Are emergency accounts useful despite strong access rules?

A coordinated emergency access concept can help to maintain administrative capacity. Protection, safekeeping, monitoring and regular inspection are defined for the respective system. Uncontrolled permanent access would not be a suitable implementation.

Can you support ongoing identity administration?

Regular checking, account maintenance and support can be agreed in a suitable operating model. Scope, service hours, approvals and escalation paths are clearly stated.

Discuss your next step

Where does access management need to become clearer?

Describe your directories and the sign-in experience you want to achieve. We will identify a practical starting point for roles, MFA and access policies.
