Azure engineering & cloud security
Azure engineering and cloud security, delivered.
Ophnos helps Canadian IT teams build Azure foundations, strengthen Entra identity, close cloud security findings and implement critical Microsoft controls. We define the work, make the changes, validate the results and hand over documentation your team can use.

How we work
Scope, implement, validate, hand over.
The same delivery model for every engagement, with change control, agreed acceptance tests and documentation your team keeps.
01
Scope
We review the environment and agree the scope, priorities, acceptance tests and change approach with you.
02
Implement
We make the approved changes under your change control, with rollback or recovery plans where appropriate.
03
Validate
We test against the agreed acceptance criteria. A failed test is recorded, not hidden.
04
Hand over
You get the documentation, evidence and runbooks, plus a written list of anything still open.
Microsoft sign-in change
Microsoft is retiring its built-in SMS and voice sign-in codes for Entra ID: February 1, 2027 for most users, and July 1, 2027 for Global Administrators and external users. People with a compatible device are being prompted to set up a passkey. Shared devices, admin and emergency access accounts, guests and password reset usually need a plan.
