Cloud Services // Identity Federation with Entra ID
Best for 25–250 user firms with 10+ SaaS apps

One sign-in. Every app. Everywhere.

Your team probably signs into 30+ different services every week. Each one has its own password, its own settings, its own security gap. We federate them all under one identity — Microsoft Entra ID or Okta — so people sign in once, security is consistent, and offboarding takes minutes instead of weeks.

Why scattered identities hurt.

pain 01

Different password for every app.

People reuse, write them down, or forget them. Help desk drowns in resets.

pain 02

Offboarding takes a week.

Each app removed manually. Most firms miss at least one. Ex-employee retains access for weeks.

pain 03

MFA only on some things.

M365 has it. Salesforce doesn't. Slack has its own. Coverage is full of holes.

pain 04

Audit asks: 'Who has access to what?'

Spreadsheet from 8 months ago. Nobody trusts it. Hours to rebuild.

What you get

What we build.

  • 01

    Single sign-on (SSO)

    Sign in once with your work email; the app trusts it. We integrate all your major SaaS apps.

  • 02

    Conditional access

    Rules like 'must be on a managed device' or 'block sign-ins from countries we don't operate in.' Set per app, per group.

  • 03

    Automated provisioning (SCIM)

    New hire in HRIS → account created in connected apps. Termination → access removed everywhere in minutes.

  • 04

    Phishing-proof MFA

    Passkeys + hardware keys for admins. Reduces phishing risk to near zero.

  • 05

    Group taxonomy

    Cleaned-up Active Directory or Entra groups that map to actual roles, not history.

  • 06

    Quarterly access review

    Every privileged role, every external collaborator, re-confirmed by an owner. Stale access decays.

The journey

How we integrate identity.

Phase 01 · Week 1

Discovery

Inventory every app, every account, every authentication path. Often the surprise: 15 more apps than IT knew about.

Phase 02 · Week 2

Design

Identity provider chosen (usually Entra ID), group taxonomy designed, conditional access policies sketched.

Phase 03 · Weeks 3–4

Pilot apps

Top 3–5 most-used apps integrated for SSO. Pilot group tests. Issues found before broad rollout.

Phase 04 · Weeks 5–8

Broad rollout

Remaining apps added in batches. Each app gets a brief training email. Help desk briefed for the spike.

Phase 05 · Weeks 9–10

Automate joiner/leaver

HRIS integration built. New hires get accounts day 1. Terminations remove access in 15 minutes.

From a client
We had 14 different login pages every morning. After Senator federated everything to Entra, my team signs in once and everything just works. Help desk tickets for forgotten passwords went from 30 a week to two.

Who needs this

Who needs this.

  • Firms with 10+ SaaS apps and growing.
  • Anyone whose cyber insurance asks about admin MFA (now universal).
  • Firms preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (identity is the largest control area).
  • Anyone who's had a terminated employee retain access past their last day.
FAQ
Q01

What if some of our apps don't support SSO?

Common. We can wrap them in password vaulting through tools like 1Password Business or Keeper. Not as elegant but covers the gap.

Q02

Can we keep on-prem Active Directory?

Yes — most clients run hybrid. Entra ID syncs with AD via Entra Connect. Both stay in sync, we harden both sides.

Q03

What if Entra ID itself goes down?

Microsoft's identity service has 99.99% uptime. We also set up break-glass emergency accounts that work even during a full Entra outage.

Q04

How disruptive is the rollout?

Minimal if planned. Most users see one new sign-in screen and move on. We pilot first, batch the rest, and brief the help desk for the inevitable handful of confused users.
