Government-Funded Entity Strengthens Identity Security and Streamlines Audit Preparation with Detexian

Challenge

A government-funded entity, following a migration from ADFS to Entra ID, faced the critical need to establish and demonstrate robust Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement across Microsoft 365 and other vital platforms containing sensitive data.

Key challenges included:

  • Limited Confidence in Identity Security: The team, new to Microsoft 365, lacked confidence in the effectiveness of Conditional Access and global policies to safeguard against unauthorized access.

  • Significant Audit and Governance Burden: Manual collection of compliance evidence was time-consuming and resource-intensive. Additionally, the organization required a reliable method to track Granular Delegated Admin Permissions (GDAP) and closely monitor external user access to sensitive data.

Solution

The organization implemented Detexian to automate evidence collection and enhance governance within their Microsoft 365 environment.

  • Automated Audit Readiness: Detexian streamlined the evidence collection process, ensuring compliance with industry best practices and enabling the generation of audit-ready reports with minimal manual effort.

  • Enhanced GDAP and External Access Monitoring: The platform provided comprehensive visibility into delegated permissions, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and the misuse of privileges.

  • Continuous Validation: Detexian delivered valuable third-party insights and ensured ongoing alignment with best practices, significantly bolstering confidence in the organization's overall identity security posture.
