Microsoft Identity And Access Management Consulting Services By ARC

At ARC, we are experts in delivering Microsoft Identity and Access Management solutions that help you manage your identities and control user access across your organization. We have extensive experience in working with Microsoft IAM technologies, such as Entra, Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Identity Manager, and more. Our Microsoft-certified IAM experts provide the following identity and access management consulting services.

Secure Multi-factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide more than one piece of evidence to verify their identity. The MFA service by Al Rafay Consulting can significantly reduce the risk of identity theft, phishing, and credential compromise, as it adds an extra layer of protection beyond passwords. You can enable MFA for your users, devices, and applications, and customize the MFA settings according to your security and usability preferences. Our services include providing conditional access policies based on the context of the access request, such as the location, device, application, or risk level of the user.

Least Privilege Access Management

Minimize security risks with our Least Access Privilege Management solutions. This is basically a security principle that states that users, devices, and applications should only have the minimum level of access required to perform their tasks. Identity and access management consultants at Al Rafay Consulting provide Microsoft IAM solutions that enable you to implement LPAM across your organization, by using role-based access control (RBAC) and just-in-time access.

Network Access Controls

ARC utilizes Microsoft's advanced network security features to define and enforce access policies, protecting your critical assets from unauthorized access. Our identity and access management consultants offer resilient network access systems using a lot of tools like Azure AD Conditional Access, Microsoft Intune, and Network Policy Server (NPS).

Federated Identity Management

The FIM is a method of securing your data that allows you to integrate and share your identities with external identity providers, such as social media, SAML, and OpenID Connect. With more than a decade of experience, our developers are proficient in creating and deploying seamless FID systems. The FIM and Single SIgn-on services are often used interchangeably but there are some differences between them. SSO is a specific type of FIM that allows users to access applications within a single organization, while on the other hand, the FIM allows access across multiple organizations. Whether Federated Identity Management or SSO, our experts at ARC have experience in creating both.

Remote Access Management

ARC leverages Microsoft technologies to provide secure and seamless remote access solutions to boost the productivity of your employees. By using powerful tools like Azure AD Application Proxy and Azure AD Join, our experts create solutions that provide you and your employees secure and remote access to your on-premises web applications, without requiring VPN or firewall changes.

Compliance Auditing And Consulting

Navigate the complex landscape of regulatory compliance with ARC's auditing and consulting services. Our experts, well-versed in Microsoft's compliance tools, ensure that your IAM strategy aligns with industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, and regulatory requirements.

Al Rafay Consulting went above and beyond to give us the Event Management tool that we needed to take our organization to the next level. We were in the middle of system development when the COVID-19 pandemic devastated our business. Al Rafay anticipated our needs and partnered with us in order to keep the project moving and ultimately implemented our “go live” in the midst of the most troubling times our business has encountered. Ali and his team developed an events management platform for San Diego Theatres, sat side by side with us while learning our industry and business model, and through it all exhibited patience, collaboration, and resolve to get it done. They truly developed a solution for us, at times knowing what we needed better than we did, that is process-driven, scalable, and sustainable for our future.
