The starting point
The challenge
Access had developed separately on each platform. That left the business with different ways of deciding who could use its systems, making the overall access model difficult to oversee.
The business needed a consistent way to establish identity, control which devices could connect and apply access rules across its platforms.
What we did
The work
Centralise identity
We built the access model around Entra ID, bringing authorisation into one place. The Zero Trust principle was to verify access rather than rely on a user being inside the network.
Connect the platforms
Single sign on connected the platforms to the central identity service, giving people a consistent way to authenticate.
Apply device and access controls
We locked down devices and applied Conditional Access policies across the platforms. Access decisions considered the user, device and request context.
What changed
The outcome
The business now operates a Zero Trust access model through Entra ID. Staff have a consistent sign-in experience, while the business has a central place to manage the rules for access.
Centralised decisions
Entra ID became the common point for authorisation.
Consistent sign-in
Full single sign on connected the client’s platforms.
Access controls in place
Device lockdown and Conditional Access were applied throughout the environment.
The client in this record is described by sector rather than named. Why we describe our work that way.
