Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access (GSA)

Experience the benefits of Entra Global Secure Access in order to build skills and the business case for adoption.

See the Real-World Impact of Global Secure Access in Weeks

Organisations are under pressure to modernise access to applications and data while reducing dependency on legacy VPNs, improving user experience, and enforcing Zero Trust consistently.

The Microsoft Entra Suite, anchored by Global Secure Access, enables identity‑centric, policy‑driven access to private apps, Microsoft 365, and the internet — without expanding the attack surface. This pilot service allows customers to experience the real‑world security and user benefits of Global Secure Access in weeks, not months, using their own users, apps, and policies, with measurable outcomes and a clear path to production.

The Entra GSA Proof of Value engagement from Bridewell uses our standard customer-first engagement philosophy in an accelerated timescale to understand, assess, design, implement, manage and then optimise in order to provide next steps for your wider roll-out and adoption of Entra Global Secure Access.
