Rimo3’s Security Evolution: Modern Identity & Access with Microsoft Entra

In today’s digital-first world, robust cybersecurity is foundational. At Rimo3, we place security at the core of everything we do. From safeguarding systems to protecting sensitive data and maintaining regulatory compliance, we are continuously adapting to stay ahead of emerging threats.

To meet this challenge head-on, we're transforming how we manage identity and access by introducing Identity Server into our architecture and integrating tightly with Microsoft Entra. We deployed IdentityServer4 as a centralized broker, then federated it with Microsoft Entra ID to deliver policy-driven SSO, MFA, and Conditional Access across all Rimo3 services.

Why Identity Is the Foundation of Security

Security begins with identity. A well-structured identity and access management (IAM) strategy ensures that only authorized users can access critical systems and data.

To enhance this foundation, Rimo3 has implemented Identity Server: a modern, scalable, and standards-compliant solution supporting OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0. This empowers us to provide centralized, secure, and flexible authentication and authorization experiences tailored to our users’ needs.

How Does Microsoft Entra ID Strengthen Your IAM Strategy?

We encourage our customers to use Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for authentication. Core Entra ID Capabilities enables organizations to:

• MFA Enforcement: Add extra verification steps to block unauthorized logins.

• Risk-Based Conditional Access: Adapt policies based on device and user risk.

• Role-Based Permissions: Apply fine-grained RBAC to segregate duties.

• Enterprise Integration: Native support for Azure AD-joined devices and apps.

Local Authentication with Strong Security

While Entra ID is our preferred authentication method, we recognize that flexibility is critical. That’s why we also offer secure local user account support, built on NIST password policy guidelines and local credential security standards:

• Minimum Length (15+ chars): Meets NIST SP 800-63 guidelines.

• Complexity Rules: Uppercase, lowercase, number & special char required.

• Encrypted Storage: Salted hashing (PBKDF2/Argon2) for credential safety.

• Brute-Force Mitigation: Lockouts & behavior anomaly detection.

• Rotation Policies: Automated reminders for periodic password changes.

This hybrid model gives customers options while maintaining high security standards.

What Next-Level IAM Features Does Entra Integration Enable?

Our deep integration with Microsoft Entra brings enterprise-grade capabilities directly into the Rimo3 ecosystem:

✅Federated SSO: One-click login across Rimo3 & third-party apps.

✅MFA Layers: Context-based second-factor prompts.

✅Dynamic Conditional Access: Real-time policy evaluation at login.

✅RBAC Enforcement: Granular role assignments & audits.

✅Azure AD Sync: Bi-directional user and group provisioning.

What Are the Business Outcomes of Our Security Evolution?

By adopting Identity Server and integrating it with Microsoft Entra, Rimo3 achieves key transformation outcomes::

🔐 Stronger Security – Resilient authentication to block unauthorized access. Zero-trust auth blocking 99.9% of brute-force & phishing attempts.
🚀 Improved User Experience – Frictionless, secure logins across systems. 90% reduction in login friction via SSO & context-aware MFA.
