What it checks
A comprehensive export of all tenant-wide configuration settings establishes a known-good baseline for change detection and disaster recovery. Without a documented baseline, it is impossible to determine whether current settings have drifted from their intended state or whether an attacker has modified tenant configuration to weaken security controls. This baseline should be captured at initial configuration and updated whenever authorized changes are made.
Recommended value
Complete tenant configuration baseline exported and stored in a version-controlled repository with regular snapshots
Remediation
Export all tenant-wide settings using Microsoft Graph API including authorization policies, authentication method policies, consent policies, cross-tenant access settings, and directory settings. Store the export in a secure, version-controlled repository and establish a scheduled process to capture periodic snapshots. Compare current settings against the baseline regularly to detect unauthorized or unintended configuration drift.
Fixture-proven verdicts
Every verdict below is proven by a golden fixture in the module's gating test suite. This table derives from the last green run; it cannot be edited by hand.
| Scenario | Expected verdict |
|---|---|
| clean | PASS |
| known-bad | WARN |
| no-data | Not Assessed |
