Jonathan Hope

M365 Solutions Architect and MVP in Security

I'm Jon Hope, a Microsoft MVP in Security, Identity and Access. By day I'm an M365 Solutions Architect at Inforcer, where we focus on M365 security configuration management for MSPs and their clients. Most of what I write at conditionalaccess.tech comes directly from field work, real tenants, real gaps, and real client conversations. I stay active on LinkedIn where I cover Entra, Conditional Access, and whatever Microsoft just changed that's about to break something. If you want the GitHub resources that go with the content, you can find those at github.com/Jhope188/ConditionalAccessPolicies.
