Retire the VPN. Give Users Secure Access to Exactly What They Need.
We deploy Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access so your people reach company apps and the internet through an identity-aware, Zero-Trust gateway — faster than a VPN, safer than a flat network, and tied to the Conditional Access you already run.
Your VPN gives users the keys to the whole network — and slows them down doing it.
Legacy VPNs were built for a world where “inside the network” meant “trusted.” Today that’s a liability: one compromised laptop on the VPN can see far more than it should, traffic backhauls through chokepoints, and your access decisions ignore the one thing that matters most — identity.
The old way was a tunnel into a trusted network. The better way is Zero-Trust access where every connection is checked against who the user is, what device they’re on, and exactly which app they’re allowed to reach.
Introducing the Ditch-the-VPN Secure Access Sprint
A done-for-you deployment of Entra Global Secure Access — Microsoft’s Security Service Edge. We roll out Private Access for your internal apps and Internet Access for safe browsing, wire it into your existing Conditional Access, and move users off the legacy VPN onto identity-aware, per-app access.
What you get
- Per-app access, not network access — users reach only the specific apps they’re authorized for, never the whole network.
- Identity-aware everything — access decisions tied to Conditional Access, device compliance, and user risk.
- Faster than VPN — no backhaul; traffic routes through Microsoft’s edge.
- Safer internet — Internet Access adds web protection and universal tenant restrictions.
- A clean VPN exit — staged migration off legacy remote access, with the old tunnel decommissioned.
How it works
- Design. We map the apps users need, your access requirements, and the migration path off the VPN.
- Build. We deploy Global Secure Access — Private Access, Internet Access, connectors, and Conditional Access integration — in your tenant.
- Pilot & cut over. We validate on a pilot group, migrate users in waves, and retire the legacy VPN.
Typically live in 30 to 45 days, depending on app count.

Frequently asked questions
Does Global Secure Access fully replace our VPN?
For most remote-access scenarios, yes — Private Access provides per-app connectivity to internal resources. We confirm coverage for your specific apps during design.
Will users notice the change?
Mostly for the better — access is faster and sign-in stays consistent with their existing Microsoft identity. We migrate in waves to keep it smooth.
How does this improve security over a VPN?
Access is granted per app and checked against identity, device compliance, and risk — so a compromised device can’t roam the whole network.
Do we need new hardware?
No. Global Secure Access is cloud-delivered with lightweight connectors for private apps; there’s no appliance to buy.
