Context
Conditional Access is reliable only when policies are understandable, tested and cleaned up regularly. Exceptions, legacy devices and administrative accounts are the usual weak spots where control concepts lose precision.
For projects, the key is to define baselines: MFA for privileged roles, separated admin identities, strong device signals and clear break-glass processes.
Practical focus
- Model administrative access separately
- Give exceptions an expiry date
- Disable legacy authentication consistently
- Test policies with pilot groups
- Roll out changes in a documented and reversible way
