Entra ID, Active Directory & MFA
Simplify sign-in and take control of access.
A secure digital workplace starts with reliable identities. We integrate Microsoft Entra ID, existing Active Directory services and suitable authentication methods with clear roles and operating procedures. A staged approach to multifactor authentication and Conditional Access balances protection, user experience and recovery.
Your options
Services that move your project forward
Map your identity environment
We review directories, domains, user groups and connected applications together. Authoritative identity sources and technical dependencies receive clear ownership.
Understand where identities originate and how they are used.
Structure roles and accounts
Administrative roles, user accounts and service identities are defined according to their tasks and protection needs. Joining, changing roles and leaving the organization become documented processes.
Authorizations can be assigned and revoked in a more targeted manner.
Introduce MFA in a usable way
Suitable login procedures, registration and support are planned with the user groups. Loss, device replacement and recovery are tested before widespread use.
Additional protection with prepared procedures for everyday work.
Apply Conditional Access where it adds value
Access conditions are adapted to applications, user groups and available signals. Effects are first checked before appropriate rules are enforced.
Traceable access rules with controlled exceptions.
Connect on-premises and cloud identities
In hybrid environments, we assess synchronization, authentication and remaining dependencies. The target architecture defines the responsibilities of on-premises systems and cloud services.
Coordinate identity management across your environment.
Prepare emergency access and IT operations
Administrative recovery, logging, and periodic review are all documented procedures. Your team practices relevant support and change tasks.
The identity solution remains operable even in the event of disruptions and personnel changes.
Where to start
Entra ID, Active Directory & MFA Use cases
Three example situations show how we can help.
Extend MFA to more employees
Technology alone is not enough for the introduction. Registration, communication, exceptions and support are prepared together.
Multiple directories complicate administration
Accounts and responsibilities have grown over the years. An inventory creates a clear vision and a secure sequence for changes.
New access rules cause unexpected lockouts
We examine affected sign-ins, overlapping rules and recovery paths, then establish a clearer process for maintaining access policies.
From requirements to results
A clear process with agreed milestones
Understanding accounts and applications
We record directories, login channels, roles, and key operational dependencies.
Align access model
User groups, methods, rules and emergency procedures are defined according to the need for protection.
Run a pilot and phased rollout
A representative group tests sign-in, failure scenarios and support procedures before the rollout expands.
Assign ownership and hand over administration
Documentation, reviews and change processes are agreed with the responsible teams.
Your benefit
What you receive
- A documented target architecture for identities and authentication.
- Aligned roles, MFA procedures, and access rules to the agreed scope.
- Results of a representative pilot and a planned rollout.
- Emergency, support and operational documents including knowledge transfer.

Platform experience for your project
We use these selected tools in SYNEDAT PLATFORM or its delivery processes. We adapt suitable practices to your project and align their integration with your existing systems.
Quality and the software supply chain
SonarQube · Trivy · Dependency-Track · DefectDojo · Renovate · Syft · Cosign
Code quality, vulnerabilities, dependencies and artifact provenance require different checks. Findings need to be linked to the product and delivered version, with a defined process for resolving them. Automated checks complement reviews and informed decisions.
Security and quality information that teams can act on.
Identities, secrets and policies
Keycloak · OpenBao · External Secrets · Kyverno
Sign-in, technical secrets and platform policies serve different purposes. We connect them with roles, limited permissions and documented exceptions. The selected tools form part of a common access and operating model.
Controlled access and more consistent platform policies.
Questions before you get started
What is the difference between Entra ID and Active Directory?
Both perform tasks related to identities, but have different architecture and deployment models. We check which local applications and cloud services depend on which directory. A change is not derived from the product name alone.
Do we need additional licenses for conditional access?
Licensing requirements depend on the features, user groups and contracts involved. We check your existing entitlements before planning and identify any additional requirements in the proposal.
How do we implement MFA without overloaded support?
A pilot clarifies registration, suitable methods, common errors and recovery. Communication, short instructions and an introduction by groups make the effort easier to plan. The required support is expressly agreed.
What happens if I lose a login device?
Appropriate recovery procedures and responsibilities will be defined prior to implementation. Identity verification, available alternative methods and protection against abusive resets must be aligned.
Can access rules be pre-checked?
Where the feature supports them, evaluation modes and sign-in logs help assess proposed rules. Representative users and applications also test the impact before suitable policies are enforced.
How are technical accounts and legacy applications handled?
We record purpose, dependencies and supported login procedures. Suitable target models, limited transitions and necessary exceptions are documented in a comprehensible manner. Unchecked changes can otherwise interrupt important processes.
Are emergency accounts useful despite strong access rules?
A coordinated emergency access concept can help to maintain administrative capacity. Protection, safekeeping, monitoring and regular inspection are defined for the respective system. Uncontrolled permanent access would not be a suitable implementation.
Can you support ongoing identity administration?
Regular checking, account maintenance and support can be agreed in a suitable operating model. Scope, service hours, approvals and escalation paths are clearly stated.
Discuss your next step
Where does access management need to become clearer?
Describe your directories and the sign-in experience you want to achieve. We will identify a practical starting point for roles, MFA and access policies.
