Conditional Access Policy Management
Design, review, standardize, and tune Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies for MFA, admin access, device trust, sensitive apps, named locations, session controls, exceptions, and rollout safety.
Microsoft 365 Identity Security Services
Datapath helps regulated and mid-market teams harden Microsoft 365 identity security through Entra ID hardening, Conditional Access policy management, phishing-resistant MFA rollout, privileged admin review, device trust, exception governance, and recurring evidence so access controls are operated instead of assumed.
What Datapath Delivers
Design, review, standardize, and tune Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies for MFA, admin access, device trust, sensitive apps, named locations, session controls, exceptions, and rollout safety.
Validate tenant security defaults, Conditional Access readiness, phishing-resistant MFA priorities, authentication methods, legacy authentication exposure, device compliance, risky sign-in controls, and account-takeover exposure.
Review contractor access, vendor accounts, guest users, service accounts, Authenticator number matching, additional sign-in context, repeated prompts, and exception ownership before MFA noise becomes account-takeover risk.
Compare Microsoft-native controls, identity security posture tools, MFA rollout platforms, and managed operations against the tenant risks that actually need ownership, monitoring, and remediation.
Review SharePoint sites, Teams-connected workspaces, guests, sharing links, direct grants, broken inheritance, sensitive libraries, and Copilot exposure, then turn findings into owner-approved cleanup evidence.
Review Microsoft 365 admin roles, break-glass accounts, guest access, service accounts, policy exceptions, audit evidence, and recurring review cadence so identity governance is defensible.
