Entra Private Access (ZTNA) Delivery

Replace VPN with identity-centric ZTNA - secure access to private apps and internal resources using Global Secure Access, Conditional Access, and an auditable per‑app access model.

Microsoft Entra Private Access is part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE) solution, unified under Global Secure Access in the Microsoft Entra admin center. Private Access enables organisations to modernise access to private applications and internal resources by defining private destinations (such as FQDNs and IPs) and enforcing identity-centric access controls. With the Global Secure Access client on end-user devices, users can access private resources without a traditional VPN experience, while security teams apply consistent access policies and conditional controls.

LW IT Solutions delivers Entra Private Access as a structured Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) programme. We assess your private application landscape and access patterns, design a least‑privilege access model, deploy the required Global Secure Access components (client and private network connectivity), and roll out access in phased waves. The outcome is a safer remote access model with improved visibility and control - reducing implicit trust and lateral movement risks associated with legacy VPNs.

Talk through your requirements and leave with a clear next-step plan.

Service Overview

Highlights

Built on Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access and Private Access
Per-app ZTNA model using FQDN and IP-based private destinations
Conditional Access integration for explicit verification
Connector-based access without inbound network exposure
Operational runbooks and monitoring expectations included

Business Benefits

Reduce reliance on legacy VPN by moving to per-app, identity-based access
Limit lateral movement by exposing only approved private destinations
Apply consistent Conditional Access controls to private applications
Improve visibility into who accessed which private resources and when
Simplify remote access experience for users without full-tunnel connectivity

Typical use cases

Replacing remote-access VPN for internal web applications
Securing access to on-premises line-of-business systems
Providing controlled third-party access to specific internal resources
Reducing attack surface for hybrid and legacy applications
Supporting Zero Trust access for distributed or remote workforces

Objectives & deliverables

What Success Looks Like

Reduce VPN dependency by moving to identity-centric per‑app access
Improve security posture with least‑privilege access and explicit verification via Conditional Access
Improve user experience for remote access to internal apps (less friction than full-tunnel VPN)
Increase visibility and control over access to private destinations and resources
Reduce lateral movement risk and limit blast radius of compromised devices or identities

What You Get

Entra Private Access readiness report: app inventory, prerequisites, and migration approach
Target ZTNA architecture: connectivity, connector placement, and access policy model
Configured Global Secure Access (Private Access scope) aligned to the agreed design
Deployed and validated Private Network Connectors / connector groups (as scoped)
Client rollout plan for Global Secure Access, including pilot and deployment waves
Operational pack: monitoring expectations, troubleshooting runbooks, and ownership model
VPN reduction plan: sequencing and validation steps to retire or reduce VPN usage (where appropriate)

How It Works

Discover - catalogue private apps/resources, user groups, and current remote access patterns.
Design - define per‑app access model, connector strategy, and Conditional Access controls.
Prepare - enable Global Secure Access, plan client rollout, and stage connector deployment.
Pilot - deploy for a controlled group and validate priority applications and workflows.
Rollout - expand app coverage and user scope in phases, with clear validation and rollback points.
Optimise - refine policies, improve monitoring, and execute the VPN reduction plan.

Engagement Options

Readiness Assessment - review app landscape, prerequisites, and ZTNA suitability
Pilot Deployment - enable Entra Private Access for a limited app and user scope
Full Rollout - phased implementation across private applications and users
VPN Reduction - structured programme to retire or scale back existing VPN usage
