Safe sign-in rules (MFA & Conditional Access) - included on every plan

A stolen password shouldn't open your business.

Many Microsoft 365 break-ins start with a stolen or guessed password. Our baseline sign-in rules make a password on its own far less useful: every user signs in with multi-factor authentication, older sign-in methods that skip MFA are blocked, and admin accounts get extra protection. It's on every plan.

Uses Conditional Access in Microsoft Entra ID P1, included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which every plan requires.

What you get
✓Multi-factor authentication required for every user
✓Legacy sign-in methods that can't do MFA blocked
✓Extra protection on admin accounts
✓Enforced with Conditional Access, not a patchwork of per-user settings
✓Rolled out with your team so nobody gets locked out
✓New starters covered automatically

How it works

01

Plan the rollout

Before switching anything on, we check what could break: shared accounts, older devices and apps that still use legacy sign-in.

02

Help everyone enrol

Staff set up an authenticator app with step-by-step help from us.

03

Enforce

Conditional Access policies require MFA and block legacy sign-in across the business.

04

Maintain

New starters are covered from day one, and changes go through our helpdesk.

Where it helps

Real situations this covers for businesses like yours.

A password reused on a breached website

Without the second factor, the attacker has a much harder time getting in.

A sign-in attempt from an old email app

Legacy sign-in methods can't do MFA, so they're blocked before they become a back door.

Your insurer asks 'is MFA enforced for all users?'

Yes - and the policies show it.

A director's admin account

Admin accounts get stricter rules, because they're the keys to everything.

Common questions

Isn't this just Microsoft's 'security defaults'?+

Security defaults are a single on/off switch. Conditional Access lets us set precise rules - who, which apps, which conditions - and it's included in Business Premium.

Will MFA annoy my team?+

We roll it out with your team and set it up so prompts are sensible rather than constant.

What does Secure+ add?+

Secure+ adds advanced sign-in protection: a wider set of rules, such as blocking sign-ins from countries where you don't operate.

What if someone loses their phone?+

They call the helpdesk. We confirm who they are, then reset their sign-in methods so they can set up their new phone.

Do staff need a smartphone?+

An authenticator app on a smartphone is the usual method. If someone can't use one, we'll agree an alternative with you, such as a hardware security key.
