Structured Conditional Access Policy Planning & Implementation Services
As Microsoft Entra evolves to centralize access control within the Conditional Access Policy pane, organizations must transition from broad, catch-all policies to Structured Conditional Access Policies - a modern, scalable approach to securing digital resources. Data Perceptions helps clients plan, design, and implement Structured Conditional Access Policies that align with Microsoft’s best practices and your organization’s unique security needs.
Why Structured Conditional Access?
Microsoft Entra Conditional Access evaluates signals such as user identity, device compliance, and location to enforce access decisions. Structured policies enhance this capability by introducing clarity, precision, and scalability.
-
Improved Policy Management: With a maximum of 195 policies per tenant, structured policies help avoid overlap and confusion.
-
Persona-Based Targeting: Policies are built around security personas—such as Executives, Administrators, Guests, and Frontline Workers—rather than rigid organizational roles.
-
Reduced Exceptions: Targeted policies minimize the need for exclusions, improving security posture.
-
Simplified Troubleshooting: Clearly defined personas and responses make impact analysis and diagnostics more efficient.
