Microsoft Entra Secure Data Sharing

Entra is Microsoft’s unified identity and access management solution, and its Secure Data Sharing feature turns identity-driven control into a core part of your architecture. It uses verified identities, granular permissions, and conditional access to decide who sees what — and when. This isn’t a bolt-on. It’s baked into the service, crossing boundaries between users, apps, APIs, and datasets.

With Secure Data Sharing, every data transaction is authenticated against Microsoft Entra ID. Tokens are short-lived, scoped, and tied to security policies you define. This keeps sensitive datasets behind gates that only the right credentials can open. Data is encrypted in transit, monitored in real time, and auditable without slowing delivery.

Engineers integrate Entra Secure Data Sharing into existing pipelines using SDKs or API endpoints. Permissions follow the principle of least privilege, enforced by role-based access control and conditional policy checks. This means you can push data across teams, tenants, or external partners with the same security posture you apply internally.

Compliance is not an afterthought here. Entra aligns with frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Policy changes propagate instantly across all shares. Revocation is immediate. You can cut off access without touching the underlying data stores. The control plane makes visibility and auditing frictionless.

For organizations moving toward Zero Trust, Microsoft Entra Secure Data Sharing closes one of the most common gaps: trusted channels for sensitive data exchange. It covers the authentication, the authorization, and the lifecycle of every data share — all under one system that’s already running your identity stack.
