Entra ID in education is quickly becoming one of the most critical tools for schools across the UK. At its core, Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. It helps schools secure who can log in, what they can access, and how they prove their identity.
For schools dealing with hundreds — or even thousands — of staff, pupils, governors, and third-party contractors, managing accounts and protecting data has become a serious challenge. Entra ID gives education IT managers the visibility and control they need to secure their networks, reduce risk, and make administration much simpler.
Many schools still rely on a patchwork of old systems or manual processes to manage user accounts. Without Entra ID, education IT managers face:
In an environment where cyberattacks against schools are on the rise, these challenges are no longer just inconvenient — they’re dangerous.
Adopting Entra ID in education offers schools a wide range of benefits:
One of the biggest misconceptions is that Entra ID requires a complete overhaul of your IT security stack. The truth is:
For schools, this combination is powerful. With Entra ID, you get secure identity management. With Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, you get peace of mind that even if data is accidentally deleted or attacked, you can recover it. Together, they form a strong, education-ready security foundation.
Putting off Entra ID in education can expose schools to serious risks:
By waiting, schools make themselves more vulnerable at a time when cybercrime against education is surging.
Making the switch doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how schools can get started:
Qual Limited can support schools with assessments, planning, and a full deployment roadmap for Entra ID adoption.
Entra ID in education isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s quickly becoming essential. It simplifies account management, strengthens security, supports compliance, and gives schools the peace of mind they need in today’s threat landscape.
With cybercriminals targeting the sector more than ever, delaying adoption is risky. If your school already has Microsoft 365 Education or Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, chances are you already have access to Entra ID. The question is — are you making the most of it?
At Qual Limited, we help schools across the UK unlock the full potential of Entra ID, whether as part of a standalone deployment or integrated with wider cybersecurity tools.
