Identity is the new security perimeter. Cloudswitched configures and manages Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for UK businesses, delivering single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access that protects your people and data.
Conditional access policies verify every sign-in against device compliance, location, risk level, and application sensitivity before granting access.
One set of credentials for Microsoft 365, Azure, and hundreds of third-party SaaS applications — improving security and reducing password fatigue.
Automated provisioning and deprovisioning ensures joiners get access on day one and leavers are disabled immediately.
Compromised credentials are the leading cause of data breaches. Traditional on-premises Active Directory was designed for a world where users worked inside the office on corporate devices. Today, people work from anywhere, on any device, accessing cloud applications. Microsoft Entra ID provides the cloud-native identity platform needed to secure this modern workforce. Cloudswitched helps UK businesses configure and manage it properly.
We design conditional access policies that balance security with usability — blocking risky sign-ins and enforcing MFA where needed without frustrating your staff with unnecessary prompts.
For businesses with on-premises Active Directory, we configure hybrid identity with Azure AD Connect, synchronising users and enabling a seamless experience across cloud and on-premises resources.
Identity threats evolve constantly. We review and update your policies regularly, responding to new attack vectors and adjusting to changes in your organisation.
Microsoft renamed Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID in 2023. The product is the same — it is Microsoft cloud identity and access management platform. We use both names as many businesses still refer to it as Azure AD.
Not necessarily. Most businesses run a hybrid configuration where on-premises AD synchronises with Entra ID. This provides cloud identity capabilities while maintaining compatibility with on-premises applications. We assess your environment and recommend the right approach.
With proper planning, MFA rollout is smooth. We configure it in phases, communicate clearly with staff, provide setup guides, and offer fallback methods. Most users adapt within a day or two, and the security improvement is significant.
Yes. Entra ID supports SSO integration with thousands of SaaS applications through SAML, OIDC, and password-based methods. We configure each application and test the integration before rolling it out to users.
We configure automated provisioning workflows that create accounts and assign appropriate group memberships when someone joins. When they leave, accounts are disabled immediately and licenses reclaimed. This ensures security and eliminates manual administrative work.
