Entra & Identity

Identity and access as the foundation of a secure Microsoft environment.

Microsoft Entra is usually the starting point for access, MFA, and Conditional Access. Our Microsoft practice helps organizations put a clearer identity model around users, devices, and applications.

What this covers

Entra & Identity

Microsoft Entra, MFA, Conditional Access, and application access.

  • A more consistent identity model for users and applications
  • Access policies that match how people actually work
  • A foundation for endpoint, Copilot, and security work

The problem

What this work is for.

Identity and access have to be explicit before more security tools or Copilot work will hold.

Who it is for

The organizations this helps.

Organizations that need Entra, MFA, and Conditional Access administered as part of the Microsoft environment.

How Cognify approaches it

Practical work around the environment you already have.

We review identity first, then improve access controls that can be operated afterward.

Relevant Microsoft technologies

  • Microsoft Entra
  • MFA
  • Conditional Access

What engagement might look like

Start with the current environment.

Most work starts with a focused assessment or a discovery conversation. Scope, operating model, and commercial terms are defined for the engagement, not as a published package.

Capabilities

Capabilities involved.

Microsoft Entra and access

Identity, MFA, Conditional Access, and secure access for users and applications.

Lifecycle administration

Onboarding, offboarding, and access changes that stay aligned with the identity model.

Application identity

Practical access patterns for the applications and integrations connected to Microsoft.

Assessments

Start with a focused assessment.

These reviews are entry points. They help our team understand the current environment before recommending managed IT, Microsoft, automation, or custom software work.

Delivery approach

Assess. Design. Implement. Operate. Improve.

Our delivery approach is the same whether the work is managed IT, Microsoft, cloud, security, automation, software, or AI: assess what exists, design the right approach, implement it, operate it, and improve it over time.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We review the technology already in place, the work it supports, and the constraints that matter before recommending a path.

  2. 02

    Design

    Our team designs the approach around the current environment, the required controls, and the outcome the organization needs.

  3. 03

    Implement

    We configure, integrate, or build the solution, then put it into the environment in a way that can be operated.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Our managed services practice can support, secure, and run the environment after it is in place.

  5. 05

    Improve

    We continue to refine the environment as needs change, using what we learn from day-to-day operations.
