Platform and identity design

The platform layer, meaning identity, access and core services, is the foundation the rest of the environment stands on.

Why it matters

If identity and platform are weak, no amount of endpoint effort makes up for it. This is the layer where least privilege and strong authentication get designed in.

Where Intelligence Group fits

  • Centralise identity and single sign-on
  • Design privileged access with separation and approval
  • Apply conditional access as a platform-wide policy
  • Plan monitoring and logging into the platform
  • Document platform decisions for assessment
Where Intelligence Group fits

Intelligence Group rates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already generates, reports the maturity level it supports, and sets out the next step to lift it.
