Entra ID Tenant Hardening
We harden your tenant against the most common attack patterns: legacy authentication blocking, conditional access, admin account protection, and emergency access account configuration. Microsoft's security defaults are a starting point, not a security posture.
Conditional Access Policy Design
We design and deploy a complete conditional access policy set covering MFA requirements, device compliance, location-based access, privileged identity protection, and sign-in risk policies: conditional access is the most powerful and most commonly misconfigured Entra ID control.
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
We configure PIM so Global Admins, Security Admins, and other privileged roles require time-limited activation with MFA and business justification: eliminating standing privileged access entirely.
Enterprise SSO & Application Integration
We configure Entra ID as your SSO provider for Microsoft 365, Azure, and third-party SaaS applications. SAML and OIDC integrations are set up with appropriate attribute claims, session policies, and access control.
Identity Governance & Access Reviews
We configure Entra ID Identity Governance for access reviews, entitlement management, and lifecycle workflows: access certification happens on schedule, requests go through approval workflows, and access is automatically removed when no longer needed.
Hybrid Identity & AD Connect
We configure Microsoft Entra Connect with the right sync filters, password hash synchronization or pass-through authentication, and seamless SSO for a consistent hybrid identity experience across on-premises and cloud.
What Makes Us Different From Others
- Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert – Our team holds this certification. We configure Entra ID the way Microsoft's security architecture intends: not the way the setup wizard walks through.
- PIM Configuration Included – Privileged Identity Management is included in every enterprise Entra ID engagement. Standing Global Admin access is the single biggest Entra ID risk.
- Complete Conditional Access Policy Set – We build a full conditional access policy set: not just the Microsoft baseline recommendations. Every policy is documented and tested before enforcement.
- M365 Security Center Integration – We connect Entra ID identity signals to Microsoft Defender XDR and Sentinel so identity-based threats appear in your security operations console.
- Licensing Optimization – Many organizations are on the wrong Entra ID license tier. We assess current usage against available features and recommend the right tier.
We had over 200 contractor accounts in Active Directory that nobody owned. garrisonOne mapped every identity, implemented PAM controls for privileged accounts, and set up automated provisioning and deprovisioning tied to our HR system. First audit after rollout, the finding list was empty.

Frequently asked questions
What is Microsoft Entra ID?
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is Microsoft's cloud identity platform: the identity layer for Microsoft 365, Azure, and thousands of third-party SaaS applications. It provides SSO, MFA, conditional access, privileged identity management, and identity governance. Every Microsoft 365 tenant includes Entra ID; premium features like PIM require P1 or P2 licensing.
What is conditional access in Entra ID?
Conditional access evaluates signals: user identity, device compliance, location, application sensitivity, sign-in risk: and enforces access policies based on those signals. It is the primary enforcement mechanism for requiring MFA, blocking legacy authentication, and restricting access from non-compliant devices.
What is Entra ID PIM?
Privileged Identity Management is an Entra ID P2 feature that controls when and how privileged admin roles can be activated. Rather than permanent Global Admin assignments, administrators request time-limited role activation with MFA and business justification. All activations are logged.
What Entra ID license do I need?
Entra ID Free is included with Microsoft 365 and covers basic SSO and security defaults. P1 adds conditional access and hybrid identity. P2 adds Privileged Identity Management, Identity Protection, and Identity Governance. Most security-conscious organizations benefit from P2 for PIM and Identity Protection.
How does Entra ID work with on-premises Active Directory?
Microsoft Entra Connect synchronizes identities from on-premises AD to Entra ID. Users authenticate against existing AD credentials and get SSO to cloud resources. Password hash synchronization, pass-through authentication, and AD FS federation are the three options.
How long does a Microsoft Entra ID implementation take?
A focused tenant hardening and conditional access deployment for an existing Microsoft 365 tenant typically takes three to six weeks. A full implementation covering PIM, Identity Governance, hybrid identity, and SSO for a large application portfolio takes two to four months.
