Microsoft Entra and Active Directory Health Assessment by Presidio

Accelerate secure Azure adoption with a proven identity foundation Identity is the front door to Azure. Presidio’s Microsoft 365 Entra & Active Directory Health Assessment helps you get started with or extend your use of Microsoft Azure by establishing a secure, scalable Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and Active Directory baseline. Our experts identify misconfigurations and gaps, then deliver an Azure‑aligned remediation roadmap that enables modern authentication, Conditional Access, privileged access controls, and clean integration patterns for Azure services and workloads. What we do (professional services scope) Discover & assess: We review your Microsoft Entra tenant, Active Directory, and hybrid identity components (e.g., Entra Connect/Cloud Sync), plus critical app integrations and sign‑in telemetry. We baseline against Microsoft best practices and the Cloud Adoption Framework identity pillar. Harden & govern: We design pragmatic improvements for Conditional Access, MFA coverage, break‑glass, identity protection, device trust signals, and role design. We align Azure RBAC with least‑privilege and propose Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for time‑bound elevation to Azure resources. Modernize access to Azure services: We map identity to Azure platform services—Azure Kubernetes Service, App Service, Functions, Key Vault, Storage, SQL, and Azure Management—including Managed Identities patterns, Azure Policy guardrails, and standardized app registration/OIDC flows. Plan ADFS/legacy migration (as applicable): We provide a clear plan to retire legacy federation (e.g., AD FS) and move apps to Microsoft Entra ID using modern auth, reducing complexity and improving Azure readiness. Operationalize & measure: We outline identity monitoring and response using Entra audit/sign‑in logs, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Microsoft Sentinel, and Defender for Cloud to continuously improve posture. How this supports getting started with or extending Microsoft Azure

Removes blockers to Azure onboarding: A healthy Entra ID enables secure self‑service access, consistent SSO, and role‑based administration so teams can begin deploying and managing Azure resources confidently. Enables secure-by-default patterns: We implement identity patterns (Managed Identities, PIM, Conditional Access) that expand safe use of Azure PaaS and data services, speeding modernization while reducing risk. Improves governance for scale: By aligning Entra roles with Azure RBAC and introducing access reviews and just‑in‑time elevation, you establish the controls required to scale Azure workloads across teams and environments. Connects identity to cloud operations: With logs flowing to Log Analytics/Microsoft Sentinel, you gain operational visibility that directly supports Azure security, compliance, and incident response.

Key outcomes & deliverables

Executive readout & health scorecard with risk‑ranked findings and business impact Prioritized remediation backlog mapped to Azure adoption stages (quick wins in 0–30 days; strategic items over 90 days) Modern auth & access blueprint (Conditional Access policy set, MFA coverage model, break‑glass pattern, device trust guidance) Privileged access design using Entra PIM for Azure roles and custom roles aligned to least‑privilege Azure enablement kit: patterns for Managed Identities, app registrations, and Azure RBAC role mapping; sample policy guardrails (Optional) AD FS to Entra migration plan and application modernization approach (SAML/OIDC/OAuth) Operations integration plan for Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Microsoft Sentinel, and Defender for Cloud with alerting and dashboards

Who should engage

Organizations preparing to start their Azure journey and needing a secure identity baseline Teams already in Azure that want to extend usage to PaaS/data services and need stronger Conditional Access, PIM, and RBAC Enterprises retiring legacy federation and moving apps to Entra ID

Typical timeline & delivery format

1–2 week assessment (remote‑first with targeted workshops), followed by readout and remediation plan. Delivery can be expanded for hands‑on remediation or app migration waves.

Customer prerequisites

Microsoft Entra tenant admin access (read‑only at minimum; elevated access for targeted validation) SMEs for identity, security, networking, and top 10–20 business‑critical apps Current documentation (if available): Conditional Access, MFA, ADFS, app lists, and identity sync
