Identity & Zero Trust
Identities are the central control point of modern IT. Sovratis develops a resilient access model that reduces risk, limits privileged rights and does not slow people down in their daily work.
In brief
Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM and Zero Trust architectures that bring security and productivity together.
Entra ID · Conditional Access · PIM · Updated
Typical starting point
Where action becomes necessary.
Historically grown roles and permanently assigned administrator rights
Inconsistent multi-factor and access rules for internal and external users
No transparency over risky sign-ins, devices and exceptions
Approach
From assessment to a workable solution.
02
Develop the target model
A comprehensible Zero Trust model connects protection needs, ways of working and technical options.
03
Implement in a controlled way
Conditional Access, PIM and identity protection are introduced, tested and documented step by step.
Examples from practice
Concrete situations. Comprehensible results.
Secure privileged access
Starting point
Administrative rights are permanently assigned and hard to trace.
Result
Time-bound activation, approval workflows and logged usage with Microsoft Entra PIM.
Control access by context
Starting point
Remote work and external collaboration need flexible but resilient rules.
Result
Conditional Access policies take identity, device, location and risk into account.
Case study
What a concrete project looked like.
Mid-sized manufacturing company, approx. 400 employees – anonymised, as all Sovratis client relationships are treated confidentially.
Starting point
The IT had grown over years: administrator accounts with permanent rights, no consistent multi-factor authentication and external service providers with standing access. A security incident in the industry made the topic a board-level priority.
Measures implemented
- Assessment of all identities, roles and access paths in Microsoft Entra ID
- Introduction of Conditional Access with pilot groups and a report-only phase
- Privileged Identity Management for all administrative roles with approval workflows
- Protected break-glass accounts and documented exception rules
Result
Permanently privileged accounts were reduced to a minimum; all administrator access is time-bound and traceably logged. Management receives an understandable report on access protection.
Outcome
What your organisation gains.
Fewer permanently privileged accounts
Traceable access decisions
Clear rules for internal and external identities
Questions & answers
Frequently asked about identity.
What does Zero Trust mean for existing Microsoft 365 environments?+
Zero Trust does not require a full restart. Existing identities, devices and applications are assessed and gradually secured with risk-based controls.
Can Conditional Access be introduced without disruption?+
Yes. Policies can first be observed in report-only mode, tested with pilot groups and then activated in a controlled way.
When does Privileged Identity Management make sense?+
PIM is particularly relevant as soon as administrative roles should be granted only when needed, time-bound and traceably.
How are break-glass accounts handled?+
Emergency access accounts are deliberately excluded from individual policies, protected specifically and tested regularly.
