What you get with Datacom’s Microsoft Entra consulting offering
A clear identity strategy built around Zero Trust - We help you define a modern identity architecture grounded in Microsoft’s three Zero Trust principles:
Always verify explicitly: Strong authentication and conditional access controls via Entra ID, Entra External ID and Entra Verified ID.
Use least privileged access: Policy-based identity governance, provisioning automation and permission insights with Entra ID Governance and Entra Permissions Management.
Assume breach: Advanced risk detection and protection with Entra ID Protection to help identify and respond to compromised credentials or abnormal behaviour.
We support secure access for all user types: employees, partners, external customers and high-strength identity proofing of new users.
Key Entra solutions we deliver:
Entra ID Governance This powerful capability automates user access entitlements through policies, approvals and lifecycle workflows. It’s a right-sized, cost-effective alternative to traditional IGA tools, and it’s already showing strong traction in the market. We help you take full advantage of this native Entra functionality to boost security while driving efficiency.
Entra Verified ID Verified ID introduces a decentralised identity model using digital wallets and verifiable credentials. It’s high-assurance, low-friction identity verification that puts control back in the hands of the user. Datacom is helping organisations lay the groundwork for a highly trusted and future-ready identity fabric.
Azure AD B2C and Entra External ID Many organisations continue to rely on Azure AD B2C for customer identity management. We have the skills to build and maintain complex custom policies and user journeys, and we can help you plan and execute your move to Entra External ID as Microsoft’s strategy evolves.
With Datacom’s Microsoft Entra consulting, you can build a unified, secure and scalable identity and access management platform.
