Minimum Requirements
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for user management and any MDM system (Intune preferred) to manage mobile devices.
Architecture
Fully embedded in Microsoft 365: Entra ID, MSAL and Intune SDK integration ensure security and compliance by design.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
SCA uses Single Sign-On (SSO) with Microsoft Entra ID, allowing users to log in securely with their existing corporate credentials. This ensures seamless access while meeting enterprise security and compliance requirements.
Intune SDK integration
With Intune SDK integration, SCA enforces corporate policies and app protection (full app encryption, Face ID/Touch ID/PIN, copy/paste restrictions, org data protection, Conditional Access), allowing access only for registered, compliant devices.
Access to contact sources
Azure Active Directory & Groups, Org Contacts (GAL), Exchange Online (EXO) Personal Contacts & Shared MailBox Contacts, Dynamics 365, MS Dataverse, Azure Blob Storage. Granularly configurable via AppConfig.
Other contact sources
Exported contacts (CSV/JSON) from any source (cloud or on-prem) are automatically encrypted & uploaded to your Azure Blob Storage using the SCA-ABS-Connector (CMD tool) for SCA to synchronize.
No dedicated backend
Contacts stay yours: SCA reads contact data directly from your Azure tenant in the context of the signed-in user. Your Azure tenant is the backend - no foreign data processing.
Secure Storage
SCA stores all contact data locally in its secure container database, fully protected with AES-256 encryption.
