Engineering Consultants Ask Sentinel to Design a Roadmap for Cloud Identity Security
Customer
A Southwestern-based consulting firm founded in the 1950s that provides civil engineering, land surveying, landscape architecture, water and wastewater engineering, stormwater engineering, land planning, construction observation, and permitting services for private and public sector clients. They focus on delivering innovative solutions grounded in quality, integrity, and client service.
Environment
The customer’s environment included Active Directory, endpoint management platforms, authentication services, cloud applications, and security controls that supported daily business operations. The complex interdependencies between users, devices, applications, and authentication methods made any modifications to the environment quite difficult.
Challenge
The customer was eager to adopt a cloud-first identity infrastructure to better support future growth, security, and operational efficiency. Their authentication services, device management, applications, and security controls were all interconnected, which created complexities and risks that required a structured approach to migration. They asked Sentinel to assess their environment for existing dependencies and potential issues, then provide a roadmap toward the adoption of Microsoft Entra ID.
Solution
Sentinel conducted a comprehensive Entra Migration Readiness Health Check designed to evaluate the customer’s current identity environment and cloud readiness. The engagement included a detailed review of Active Directory, authentication methods, endpoint management, application dependencies, SaaS integrations, networking, and security controls. Stakeholder interviews, technical analysis, and automated discovery helped identify key considerations and potential challenges with a migration to Microsoft Entra ID. Sentinel then used that information to develop a custom migration roadmap outlining recommended identity strategies, phased implementation guidance, risk mitigation suggestions, and next steps to support a successful transition to Microsoft Entra ID.
Results
Sentinel’s assessment provided the customer with a clear understanding of its current identity landscape and the requirements needed to support future modernization efforts. The tailored roadmap and strategic guidance positioned them to confidently evaluate migration options, reduce risk, and move forward with a secure and scalable identity strategy in alignment with their long-term business goals.
