Webinar: How to Avoid Risks from 'Insufficient Audit Trails' in On-Prem AD to Entra ID Migration for IT Companies

The growing burden of accountability in migration support While migration projects from on-premises AD to Entra ID are increasing, constraints in customer environments (network, permissions, existing operations, branch office conditions) and the complexity of existing designs are often carried directly into the migration work, making it a 'chain of changes.' Furthermore, the involvement of devices, users, applications, and peripheral systems leads to unforeseen adjustments, disrupting schedules and team structures. Migration is not just a technical challenge; it comes with a set of accountability requirements such as audit responses, customer reporting, and clarification of responsibilities. When problems occur, the burden and risk on the support side escalate dramatically.

Insufficient audit trails and inadequate rollback plans lead to project crises Without change tracking, it is impossible to identify who changed what and when, delaying root cause analysis during incidents and halting consensus-building with customers. As a result, time is consumed not only by technical recovery but also by explaining the situation, assessing the impact, and presenting preventive measures, leading to prolonged response times. Furthermore, if rollback procedures remain ambiguous, a failure after the switchover can result in an inability to revert, directly linking recovery delays to loss of trust and additional work hours. The essence of a project crisis lies not in the isolated incident itself, but in the loss of both accountability and recoverability due to the inability to 'track' and 'roll back.'

Design incorporating change tracking and rollback procedures This seminar will provide practical, hands-on explanations on how to eliminate the 'insufficient audit trails' that often cause project crises during migration, from the concept of change tracking to its integration into the design. Rather than treating rollback as a vague 'last resort,' the seminar will outline an approach that integrates it as a premise from the planning stage, detailing procedures, verification, and operations (who makes the decision, under what criteria, and in what order to revert), thereby balancing accountability and rapid recovery. Participants will gain insights into design and operational know-how that considers not only the migration period but also potential control and fraud risks that may persist post-migration, ensuring the support side does not face difficulties.
