Directory & network access
The pieces most governance vendors expect you to buy somewhere else.
Case by case
A laptop joins the office network.
It authenticates against the same identity that opens the applications — one policy, not a second one nobody reviews.
→ Network access enters the review.
A certificate is due to expire on a Saturday.
Renewed before it does, and accounted for. Nobody finds out from an outage.
→ No weekend surprises.
You already run a directory you like.
Keep it. It gets governed rather than merely connected — or retire it and use ours.
→ Your call, not a migration.
Felt first by: Infrastructure and network teams. · Take this on its own — every edge speaks the standards your estate already speaks, so replacing it later stays cheap.
