Intelligent policies for granular access control with Entra conditional access

A remote employee in a satellite office securely accesses work applications with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access, which enforces real-time risk assessment, adaptive authentication, and location-based policies to ensure secure and seamless access without compromising productivity.

 

What is Microsoft Entra conditional access and why it matters

 

Microsoft Entra conditional access is the Zero Trust policy engine within Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). It continuously evaluates each sign-in attempt using identity, device, location, and risk signals to decide whether to grant, block, or require stronger authentication. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, it provides adaptive, risk-based access control that protects users, apps, and data—without disrupting productivity.

What can you do with conditional access?

From adaptive authentication to device compliance checks, Entra Conditional Access offers features that align security with productivity. By enforcing consistent, risk-based policies, these capabilities help protect data while keeping your workforce moving.

Risk-based policies

Use real-time signals like sign-in risk, unusual locations, or compromised credentials to enforce additional authentication or block access.

Device and app controls

Ensure only compliant, managed devices can access sensitive resources. Block legacy authentication protocols to eliminate weak links.

Granular access conditions

Tailor rules by user role, group, or app sensitivity. For example, require MFA for admins or when accessing financial data.

Integration with Microsoft security

Leverage insights from Microsoft Defender, Intune, and Entra ID Protection for end-to-end security coverage.

Adaptive user experience

Provide seamless sign-in for low-risk scenarios while stepping up authentication only when needed, reducing friction for employees.

Strengthens security against threats

Identity-based attacks like phishing and stolen credentials are on the rise. Conditional access reduces these risks by using real-time signals—such as location, device health, and sign-in behavior—to enforce adaptive MFA or block suspicious logins, ensuring critical accounts and data stay protected.

Supports compliance and governance

Industries face strict standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST. Entra conditional access helps organizations meet these requirements by enforcing consistent access policies and generating audit-ready logs. This reduces the burden of manual compliance checks while ensuring security policies align with governance needs.
