Conditional Access: Your Digital Bouncer

A password alone isn't enough anymore. Conditional Access is like a bouncer who checks more than just ID - they verify the guest list, location, and behaviour before letting anyone in.

What is it?

Conditional Access is a Microsoft 365 security feature that makes access decisions based on multiple factors - not just passwords. Every login attempt is evaluated: Is this a company device? Is the user in the UK or suddenly Russia? Have they completed MFA? Based on answers, access is allowed, requires verification, or is blocked entirely. This is included with Microsoft Business Premium and is core to Zero Trust security.

Business Benefits

Stolen Passwords Useless

Hackers can't log in from untrusted devices or locations even with your password.

Location-Based Security

Block logins from countries you don't operate in.

Device Trust

Only managed devices can access company data.

Risk Detection

Microsoft's AI flags suspicious patterns automatically.

Risks Without It

Password-Only Security

Anyone with a stolen password can access everything from anywhere.

Unmanaged Devices

Personal devices accessing company data create exposure.

Undetected Compromise

Without checks, unusual access goes unnoticed.

Compliance Gaps

Many frameworks expect access controls.

How Fresh Tech Implements This
