Know where identity and device exposure create real attack paths

Identity and device controls are where many modern attacks succeed or fail. Yet in many Microsoft Security environments, the actual state of those controls is unclear. Conditional Access policies accumulate, privileged accounts persist without clear ownership, and devices are enrolled but not consistently governed. This Sprint delivers a clear, evidence-based view of where identity and device exposure exists today and what matters most to address first.

What is at stake

Identity and device controls are the practical foundation of Zero Trust in Microsoft Security environments. They are also one of the most common sources of unmanaged exposure.

Identity and device programs often accumulate complexity faster than they can be governed. Conditional Access rules are added but rarely removed. Privileged access is partially controlled. Identity Protection signals fire without clear remediation paths. Devices are enrolled at scale, but trust signals do not consistently influence access decisions. This Sprint produces evidence where assumptions usually stand in.

    • Why identity and device exposure is difficult to see clearly

    Access and policy drift

    Conditional Access policies conflict, overlap, or no longer reflect business intent, weakening enforcement through legacy rules, exclusions, and exceptions.

    Privilege risk

    Privileged accounts persist with standing access, unclear ownership, or inconsistent Privileged Identity Management adoption, expanding the blast radius of compromise.

    Signal gaps

    Identity Protection signals and risky sign-ins are visible but not consistently tied to investigation or remediation workflows.

    Device exposure

    Devices are enrolled but not consistently governed, and endpoint posture or trust signals do not reliably influence access decisions.
    How the Assessment runs

    A connected view of identity and device exposure

    The Identity and Device Exposure Assessment Sprint examines identity and device controls as a connected system. Rather than scoring isolated configurations, it assesses how access policies, privilege, device posture, and security signals combine into real exposure and attacker movement paths.

    What you recieve.

    At the conclusion of the Sprint, you have a clear, evidence-based understanding of identity and device exposure and a practical plan to reduce it.

    • What comes after?

    The Sprint produces clarity and a roadmap. Execution of that roadmap is a separate decision.

    Depending on what the Sprint uncovers, next steps typically fall into one of three paths: a focused Accelerator for concentrated Conditional Access, privilege, or device-governance gaps; a Zero Trust Identity or Endpoint Security Deployment when foundational work is required; or an Optimize engagement for ongoing tuning and improvement.

    Many customers engage simply to gain clarity. Others use the roadmap to accelerate execution. The Sprint stands on its own either way.
