Azure Active Directory Services in the UK for Government & Public Sector
Centralised identity management securing every user across your public sector body.
Zero Trust Security
Conditional access policies verify every sign-in against device compliance, location, risk level, and application sensitivity before granting access.
Single Sign-On
One set of credentials for Microsoft 365, Azure, and hundreds of third-party SaaS applications — improving security and reducing password fatigue.
Lifecycle Automation
Automated provisioning and deprovisioning ensures joiners get access on day one and leavers are disabled immediately.
Government & Public Sector manage multiple user identities across case management, citizen portals, and GovCloud platforms and numerous other platforms. Without centralised identity management, password fatigue leads to weak credentials, and ex-staff retain access to sensitive citizen records, casework files, and policy documents. Azure Active Directory brings order to identity chaos across your public sector body.
Cloudswitched delivers Azure Active Directory solutions for UK government & public sector. We configure Azure AD with single sign-on for case management, citizen portals, and GovCloud platforms, enforce multi-factor authentication, and build conditional access policies that protect citizen records, casework files, and policy documents. Automated provisioning and de-provisioning ensure joiners and leavers are handled instantly, reducing security risk across your public sector body.
