The Challenge
The client relied on Microsoft 365 but had not reviewed Microsoft Entra ID since initial setup. Administrative access had expanded, and Conditional Access was not being used effectively.
- Too many users had elevated Microsoft 365 permissions.
- Conditional Access policies were not properly configured.
- Administrator accounts needed stronger protection.
- Risky sign-in controls needed review.
- User access reviews were not routinely performed.
