Microsoft Entra ID services across the UAE
CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Microsoft Entra ID Services

Identity is the new perimeter. We make Microsoft Entra ID decide who gets in, from where, and on what device.

Microsoft Entra ID: Identity as Your First Line of Defence

Microsoft Entra ID is where every login decision gets made, who your people are, what they can reach, and whether a sign-in looks like them or like an attacker holding their password. Get it right and most credential attacks stop at the door. Leave it on defaults and one stolen password walks straight in.

We configure Entra ID to do real work: single sign-on so people have fewer passwords to lose, multi-factor authentication that actually gets enforced, and Conditional Access that weighs the user, device, location and risk before granting access. Joiners, movers and leavers are handled so access matches reality, not last year's org chart.

IP Care deploys and manages Entra ID across your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment, setting the policies, tightening the defaults, watching the identity protection signals, and adjusting on a regular cycle as your team and risk change. You get an identity layer that's actually run, not switched on and forgotten.

Microsoft Entra ID scope, SSO, MFA, Conditional Access and identity protection

IDENTITY SCOPE

What We Cover

From the first sign-in to the last offboarding, we bring your whole Microsoft identity surface under control.

  • Single sign-on (SSO), one secure identity across Microsoft 365, Azure and connected apps
  • Multi-factor authentication, enforced for every user, with phishing-resistant options
  • Conditional Access, sign-in decisions based on user, device, location and risk
  • Identity Protection, detect and respond to risky sign-ins and compromised accounts
  • Privileged Identity Management, just-in-time admin roles, not standing global admins
  • Lifecycle & provisioning, automated joiner/mover/leaver access changes
  • Hybrid identity & app integration, connect on-prem AD and bring your apps under SSO and policy

Capabilities

What's Included

Single Sign-On (SSO)

One identity across Microsoft 365, Azure and your business apps. Fewer passwords for people to reuse, lose or have phished.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA enforced across the board, including phishing-resistant methods, so a stolen password on its own gets an attacker nowhere.

Conditional Access

Access policies that weigh who, what device, where and how risky a sign-in is before letting anyone in. The rules behind a real Zero Trust posture.

Identity Protection

Risky sign-ins and likely-compromised accounts flagged and acted on automatically, before they turn into an incident.

Privileged Identity Management

Admin rights granted just-in-time and time-boxed, so there are no permanent global admins sitting around as targets.

Lifecycle & Provisioning

Joiners get the right access on day one, movers get it adjusted, leavers lose it immediately, access that matches who's actually on your team.

Why IP Care

What Sets Us Apart

Run, not just enabled
Default Entra settings leave gaps. We configure it properly, then keep watching identity protection signals and tuning policies as risk shifts.
Conditional Access done right
Policies tuned to how your people actually work, so security tightens without locking out the people who need to get in.
Tied to the rest of your security
Identity, endpoint and email managed together, so a risky sign-in, an infected device and a phishing hit are seen as one picture, not three.
Least privilege for admins
PIM and right-sized roles, so the most dangerous accounts in your tenant aren't standing wide open.
Hybrid handled cleanly
On-prem Active Directory connected to Entra ID without breaking what already works, for organisations that aren't fully cloud yet.
Local engineers, UAE timezone
UAE-based engineers who know the compliance environment, NESA, UAE PDPL and sector rules, and are reachable when your business is open.

Our Delivery Approach

How We Deliver

A proven, repeatable approach, used on every engagement.

01

Assess Your Tenant

Review your current Entra ID configuration, MFA coverage, admin roles and identity risks, and baseline the gaps.

02

Harden the Foundation

Enforce MFA, right-size admin roles, clean up legacy authentication and tighten the defaults attackers count on.

03

Build Conditional Access

Design and roll out Conditional Access policies by user, device, location and risk, tested before they go live.

04

Turn On Identity Protection & PIM

Enable risk-based protection and just-in-time privileged access, with the alerting that goes with them.

05

Manage & Tune

Monitor identity signals, refine policies and handle lifecycle changes on your agreed cycle as your team and threats evolve.

UAE Regulations

The Frameworks We Deliver Against

Every engagement is scoped with the rules your organisation answers to. These are the frameworks we assess, remediate and prepare evidence for.

NESA / UAE Information Assurance Standards

Mandatory for critical-sector entities in energy, government, banking, telecom, transport and healthcare. NESA was absorbed into the UAE Signals Intelligence Agency in 2020, but the standards are unchanged and still audited. See our NESA compliance programme.

UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)

Governs how personal data is collected, stored and accessed. In practice it drives access controls, data classification, consent records and keeping data, including backups, inside the UAE where required.

ISO 27001

The international information security standard many UAE clients and partners ask for. A large share of its Annex A controls map to NESA requirements, so the two programmes can share evidence. See NESA vs ISO 27001.

PCI DSS

Required wherever card payments are stored, processed or transmitted, common in retail, hospitality and e-commerce. We run the gap assessment, remediation and audit preparation as part of our compliance services.

Buyer's Guide

How to Choose a Cybersecurity Services Provider in the UAE

Most UAE businesses we talk to are in the same position: security bolted on after the fact, default configurations never hardened, nobody watching overnight and no written incident response plan. These are the questions that separate a provider who will fix that from one who will sell you another tool.

Start with what you have to comply with

If you operate in a critical sector, NESA / UAE IAS applies whether or not you have started. If you hold personal data, the UAE PDPL applies. Your clients may also ask for ISO 27001 or PCI DSS. A good provider scopes the work around these from day one, rather than treating compliance as a separate project at the end. Our compliance services cover the gap assessment, remediation and audit evidence.

Ask who is watching at 2 am

24/7 monitoring means different things to different providers. Ask who triages the alerts, where they are based, what gets escalated and how fast. Ours is defined and documented before you go live: the scope of what is monitored, the alert thresholds and the escalation procedures.

Ask what happens when something gets through

No control stops everything. What matters is how quickly an incident is contained and how thoroughly it is understood afterwards. An incident response retainer means the response starts immediately instead of from a standing start. Our session hijacking case study shows what that looks like in practice, including an attack that bypassed both the password and MFA.

Fix identity first

Microsoft has reported that multi-factor authentication alone blocks more than 99% of account-compromise attempts, which is why identity hardening is one of the first things we fix: enforced MFA, Conditional Access and clean admin accounts in Microsoft Entra ID. It is the cheapest large reduction in risk most organisations can make.

Know whether you need services or advisory

Cybersecurity services defend and operate your environment day to day. Advisory designs where it should go: Zero Trust architecture, SASE, and board-level governance. Many organisations need both, and it helps when the same company can do both. See our cybersecurity advisory practice.

Local support in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

We are headquartered in Abu Dhabi and send engineers to client sites across the UAE when a job needs hands on site. See cybersecurity services in Dubai and cybersecurity services in Abu Dhabi for how we work in each emirate.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microsoft Entra ID?

Microsoft's cloud identity service (formerly Azure Active Directory). The system that handles sign-in, access and identity security across Microsoft 365, Azure and connected apps.

We already have Microsoft 365, isn't Entra ID just turned on?

The licence exists, but the security controls (enforced MFA, Conditional Access, identity protection, right-sized admin roles) are mostly off or on defaults until someone configures and runs them. That configuration and ongoing management is the work.

Is this the same as Zero Trust?

Conditional Access and identity protection are the operational building blocks of a Zero Trust approach, and we implement and run those controls. The broader Zero Trust strategy and architecture sits with our Cyber Advisory team.

Can you connect our on-prem Active Directory?

Yes. We set up hybrid identity so your existing on-prem AD and Entra ID work together, which suits organisations that aren't fully in the cloud yet.

Does this help with NESA or UAE PDPL compliance?

Strong identity controls, enforced MFA, least-privilege admin access and audit-ready sign-in logs, map directly to the access-control expectations in NESA and UAE PDPL.
