Securing identities has become just as important as protecting networks and endpoints. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is at the heart of this effort, ensuring that only the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right times. Without a robust IAM strategy, organisations risk unauthorised access, data breaches, and insider threats—whether malicious or accidental. 

At Integrity360, we help businesses strengthen their IAM security through our Microsoft Security Professional Services, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and Managed Privileged Access Management (PAM) Service. These solutions collectively safeguard an organisation’s digital ecosystem, reducing attack surfaces and strengthening overall resilience. 

Why is Identity and Access Management critical to cyber security? 

Protecting against credential-based attacks 

Compromised credentials remain one of the leading causes of data breaches. Attackers frequently target login credentials through phishing, brute-force attacks, and credential stuffing. With Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) integrated into our MDR service, organisations can detect and respond to suspicious login attempts, MFA bypass attempts, and privilege escalations in real-time. 

Enabling Zero Trust security 

A Zero Trust model requires continuous verification of user identities rather than assuming trust based on network location. Microsoft’s IAM solutions, including Conditional Access policies and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), help enforce Zero Trust by ensuring users and devices meet security requirements before accessing resources. Integrity360’s Microsoft Security Services ensure these technologies are correctly configured, optimised, and managed for maximum security. 

Managing privileged accounts securely 

Privileged accounts pose the highest risk if compromised, as they provide attackers with elevated access to critical systems. Integrity360’s Managed PAM Service helps organisations control, monitor, and audit privileged access, ensuring that only authorised users can perform sensitive operations. By integrating PAM with Microsoft Entra ID and Defender for Identity, organisations gain a real-time view of privileged account activities and potential abuse. 

Securing access to hybrid and multi-cloud environments 

As organisations operate across on-premise and cloud environments, ensuring secure and seamless access is crucial. Integrity360 helps businesses implement and manage Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), and conditional access policies, reducing the risk of misconfigurations that attackers can exploit. 

How Integrity360 enhances IAM security 

Managed Privileged Access Management (PAM) Service 

Privileged accounts are one of the most sought-after targets for attackers. Compromised privileged identities accounted for 33% of security incidents in 2024, according to the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA)​. Staff, vendors, and other insiders have unnecessary or over permissive access to systems and data. Passwords are created and shared, but are not audited, monitored nor managed with discipline and accountability. Endpoints, workloads, servers and applications communicate and open paths to sensitive assets and data - to name a few - causing complexity, increasing risk and creating weak points that can be exploited or abused.  

Our Managed PAM Service provides: 

• Just-in-Time (JIT) access – minimising exposure by granting temporary, time-bound privileged access 

• Privileged Account & Session Management (PASM) – securing, monitoring, and auditing privileged sessions 

• Privilege Elevation & Delegation Management (PEDM) – controlling who can elevate their access and when, applying least-privilege on endpoints 

• Secrets Management – protecting credentials, API keys, and certificates from unauthorised access 

• Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) – enabling secure and monitored remote privileged access without VPNs 

With Integrity360’s PAM services, organisations can: 

• Reduce the risk of privilege abuse 

• Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2 

• Gain visibility over privileged account activity 

• Improve security without disrupting legitimate workflows 

Microsoft Security Professional Services 

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, Integrity360 provides expert consultancy, implementation, and management of Microsoft IAM solutions. Our services include: 

• Identity & Access Management (IAM) assessments to identify security gaps 

• Zero Trust security implementation with Entra ID and Conditional Access 

• Microsoft Defender for Identity deployment for proactive identity threat detection 

• Microsoft Purview configuration for identity governance and compliance 

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) 

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a managed security service that detects and contains threats that have bypassed preventative controls. MDR services go beyond the realm of traditional reactive security monitoring and threat detection, prioritising containment and response, threat hunting, and proactively searching enterprise networks to detect advanced threats that other traditional solutions miss.    

Integrity360’s MDR service proactively detects various identity-related threats, including: 

• Suspicious login attempts 

• Unauthorised privilege escalations 

• Lateral movement within networks 

This advanced threat detection ensures that identity-based attacks are quickly identified and mitigated before they can lead to breaches.
