Managed Microsoft Entra & Defender as a Service

Secure access, fewer incidents, clearer control

Microsoft Entra helps you verify identities, validate access conditions, enforce permissions, and monitor for compromise across your environment — a core part of Zero Trust.

Microsoft Defender XDR then coordinates prevention, detection, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and applications — turning scattered alerts into clear incidents.

We manage both together so your policies, signals, and response actions work as one joined-up defence.

Conditional Access

Conditional Access uses identity-driven signals (user, device, location, risk, app) to make “if‑then” access decisions, for example, requiring MFA when accessing Microsoft 365.

MFA & Modern Authentication

We help you standardise secure sign-in and reduce password-only risk by building practical sign-in journeys aligned to your business.

Identity Risk & Sign-in Risk Controls

Where available in your licensing, we align risk-based controls with your Conditional Access strategy so suspicious sign-ins trigger stronger verification.

Least Privilege & Admin Controls

We reduce over-permissioned access and strengthen administrative security by tightening privileged access design and operational processes.

Managed Microsoft Entra & Defender FAQ's

Read some of our frequently asked questions on our managed Microsoft Entra & Defender services.

Microsoft Entra is a family of identity and network access products designed to help organisations implement a Zero Trust strategy — verifying identities, enforcing access conditions, and monitoring for compromise.

Microsoft Defender XDR is a unified defence suite that coordinates detection, prevention, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and applications.

In most real-world attacks, identity, email, and devices are linked. Entra controls who can access and under what conditions, while Defender detects and responds to threats across those surfaces.

Conditional Access is Microsoft’s Zero Trust policy engine. It uses signals like user, location, device state, and risk to decide whether to allow access, block access, or require actions like MFA.

Yes — the goal is smarter MFA, not more MFA. We tune policies so verification appears when risk is higher, not on every sign-in.

Yes. We assess what’s in place, reduce risk safely, then improve your configuration step-by-step.

Yes — many of our clients run mixed environments. We align identity controls so your access policies remain consistent and secure.

Defender XDR unifies incidents across Microsoft security signals. Some organisations still add SIEM for broader log retention and cross-platform correlation; we’ll advise based on your requirements

Entra includes products focused on private and internet access as part of its broader identity and network access family. We’ll recommend the right approach for your environment.
