Conditional Access

Conditional Access helps decide when access should be allowed, blocked, or challenged based on signals such as user, device, location, app, and risk.

Why It Matters

Identity is the front door to Microsoft 365. Conditional Access helps protect that door without applying the same rule to every situation.

Good Starting Points

Start with clear policies for administrators, multifactor authentication, unmanaged devices, risky sign-ins, and legacy authentication.

Be Careful With

Policies can lock people out or disrupt work if they are too broad. Test with report-only mode or pilot groups before broad rollout.
