Should we use Password Hash Sync, Pass-through Authentication, or federation?

For most organizations, Password Hash Sync with Seamless SSO is the most resilient and secure option, and it enables leaked-credential detection. We assess your compliance and on-prem dependency requirements before recommending a specific model.

Can you retire our existing ADFS farm?

Yes. Migrating relying-party applications to Entra ID authentication and removing ADFS is one of the most common and highest-value outcomes of this engagement.

Do you work with existing internal teams?

Always. The goal is to leave your team fully capable of operating the environment. Knowledge transfer and documentation are part of every engagement.

The problem

Most enterprises run a tangle of on-prem AD, legacy federation, and half-finished cloud projects. The result is duplicated identities, inconsistent MFA, and risky sign-in paths that auditors flag and attackers exploit. Migrating without a plan means broken authentication, frustrated users, and emergency rollbacks.

What's included

Current-state discovery of AD, ADFS/federation, and existing Entra tenant
Target-state hybrid identity architecture and phased migration roadmap
Entra Connect (sync) design: filtering, attribute flow, password hash sync vs. PHS+SSO vs. PTA
Federation cutover strategy (ADFS retirement to cloud authentication)
Conditional Access policy framework with named locations and risk-based controls
MFA and passwordless rollout plan (Authenticator, FIDO2, Windows Hello for Business)
Pilot group rollout, validation, and production cutover runbook

Typical timeline

Discovery

1–2 weeks

Inventory identities, sync, federation, and dependencies.

Design

1–2 weeks

Target architecture, CA framework, and migration sequencing.

Pilot

2–3 weeks

Validate with a controlled user group; tune policies.

Cutover

2–4 weeks

Phased production migration with monitoring and support.

Frequently asked questions

No. We use phased pilot groups and staged cutover so authentication remains available throughout. Each phase has a documented rollback path before we proceed.

Conditional Access in action

The sign-in pipeline this engagement designs — toggle between a trusted sign-in and a blocked attack.

Step 1 of 5

Sign-in request. A known user signs in from a compliant device to reach an app.
