VeriDM

Evidence-Driven Microsoft Identity Roadmaps in 22-30 Days

VeriDM converts Microsoft 365 tenant evidence into a Zero Trust identity roadmap, Conditional Access hardening sequence, governance mapping, and CAB-ready remediation plan grounded in your own Entra ID telemetry.

40 Years Identity Architecture Legacy
22-30 Days to a CAB-ready roadmap
1.5M+ Identities Governed
100% Microsoft-Native

Your Identity Layer Is Your Largest Attack Surface

Most Microsoft Entra tenants are partially configured, improperly governed, and unable to prove compliance in real time. Long consulting engagements produce roadmaps — not results. Meanwhile, every unverified identity is an open door.


VeriDM was built by architects who led the largest identity consolidations in the Western US — not to advise, but to execute.

Three Phases. One Sprint. CAB-Ready Results.

Every foundational VeriDM engagement follows a fixed-velocity sprint that moves from tenant discovery to a CAB-ready remediation plan in 22-30 days, with governance artifacts your audit team can use immediately.

Days 1-7 · Discover

UTCM-Led Tenant Discovery

Ingest your full Entra/M365 tenant state via the Unified Tenant Configuration Management API. No assumptions — only Tenant Truth sourced from your own telemetry.

Days 8-18 · Classify

AI-Assisted Gap Analysis

The Veri-Circuit™ AI layer classifies policy drift, surfaces Zero Trust gaps, and maps every finding to a Zachman node. Humans ratify — AI never self-certifies.

Days 19-30 · Sequence

CAB-Ready Remediation

MFA enforcement, Zero Standing Privilege via PIM, Conditional Access hardening, and legacy authentication remediation are sequenced, validated, and evidence-packaged for change approval.

Five Pillars. No Shortcuts.

Every VeriDM engagement is governed by five non-negotiable principles that ensure your identity architecture is deterministic, auditable, and defensible.

🏛

Strictly Microsoft

100% native to M365 / Azure / Entra. No third-party SaaS. Your data never leaves your tenant boundary.

🔍

UTCM-Led Discovery

Tenant state is ingested — not assumed. Every recommendation is sourced from your own API telemetry.

📐

Zachman Structuralism

All architectural knowledge is organized across the 6×6 Zachman Matrix for full ontological traceability.

🧑‍⚖️

Human-in-the-Middle

No AI output is Enterprise Truth until it passes the Validation Gateway. Humans ratify. Always.

🔐

Immutable ID™

Every identity — human or AI agent — is anchored to a cryptographic Source of Truth. No exceptions.

We Don't Pitch Theory. We Deliver Evidence.

VeriDM's methodology is grounded in 40 years of identity architecture — from Novell NDS in 1986 to the largest Entra ID consolidations in the Western United States.

Microsoft Entra ID consulting with evidence on day one.

Architecture

What is Identity Architecture as a Service?

Identity Architecture as a Service gives organizations access to practitioner-led identity architecture, tenant evidence analysis, governance mapping, and remediation sequencing without hiring a full-time identity architect.

Roadmap

What is a Microsoft Entra ID roadmap?

A Microsoft Entra ID roadmap is a prioritized identity security plan covering Conditional Access, privileged access, legacy authentication, lifecycle governance, device trust, and audit readiness.

Operating model

How is VeriDM different from an MSSP?

VeriDM differs from an MSSP by producing deterministic architecture roadmaps and governance-ready remediation plans rather than simply operating security tools.

Change control

What does CAB-ready remediation mean?

CAB-ready remediation means each change is sequenced, risk-mapped, evidence-supported, and prepared for change advisory board review.

Timeline

How long does a VeriDM engagement take?

Foundational VeriDM engagements are designed for 22-30 days.

Closed domain AI

How does VeriDM use closed-domain AI?

VeriDM uses closed-domain AI to normalize evidence, classify artifacts, identify gaps, and accelerate executive-ready outputs while keeping findings grounded in tenant evidence.

Tools

Does VeriDM replace identity tools?

VeriDM does not replace identity tools; it turns existing Microsoft tenant evidence into a governed architecture and remediation plan.
