The CIS Benchmark is a set of guidelines developed by the Center for Internet Security that serve as standard best practices for configuring IT systems. For Entra ID security, the CIS Benchmark offers detailed security recommendations to help minimize the risk of attacks and ensure data integrity and confidentiality. Using these guidelines allows organizations to maintain high protection for their Entra ID environments, which is key to securing the entire IT infrastructure against potential threats.

What are the main benefits of conducting a CIS Benchmark-compliant Entra ID security audit?

Conducting a CIS Benchmark-compliant Entra ID security audit has many benefits, including identifying and eliminating configuration vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals. The audit also helps ensure compliance with industry security standards and regulations. As a result, an organization can reduce the risk of security incidents, increase the trust of customers and business partners, and optimize the management of privileges and access to key resources.

What is the Entra ID security audit process like?

The Entra ID security audit process begins with an initial consultation, during which we define the scope of the audit and the specific needs of the organization. We then conduct a detailed analysis of Entra ID's configuration, verifying compliance with CIS Benchmark guidelines. Our team of experts identifies potential security vulnerabilities, evaluates privilege management and monitors security policies. Once the analysis is complete, we prepare a report containing the audit results and practical recommendations for improving the configuration and implementing security best practices.

What areas and settings of Entra ID are covered by the audit?

A CIS Benchmark compliant Entra ID security audit covers key areas such as user account management, access control, password policies, activity monitoring and logging, as well as physical and logical environment security. We also analyze server configurations, group settings, privilege delegations and incident management procedures. The goal is to ensure that all aspects of Entra ID are properly secured and in line with industry best practices.

Will the audit affect our infrastructure operations and service availability?

Entra ID's security audit is conducted in a way that minimizes the impact on the organization's daily operations. Our team works in close collaboration with IT to schedule audit activities during off-peak hours or designated service windows. This allows us to perform the necessary analysis and testing without disrupting service availability. The main goal is to assess security, not to interfere with infrastructure operations.

What are the most common vulnerabilities and weaknesses in Entra ID that you identify during an audit?

During an Entra ID security audit, we often identify vulnerabilities such as inadequate privilege management, lack of regular updates and patches, weak password policies, inadequate group configurations, and lack of proper monitoring and logging of user activity. Other common problems include inadequate access control to key resources, lack of network segmentation, and insufficient physical security of servers. By identifying these weaknesses, necessary changes can be made to improve security.

What recommendations will we receive after the audit?

Upon completion of the audit, we prepare a detailed report that includes the results of the analysis and specific recommendations for improving Entra ID's configuration. Recommendations may include implementing stronger password policies, improving privilege management, implementing advanced monitoring and logging mechanisms, and segregating networks to restrict access to key resources. Additionally, we suggest regular updates and training for staff on security best practices.

What are the costs associated with conducting an audit?

The cost of an Entra ID security audit depends on a number of factors, such as the size and complexity of your IT environment, the scope of the audit, the number of systems and processes to be evaluated, and your organization's specific requirements. After an initial consultation, we prepare a customized offer that is tailored to your company's needs and budget. An investment in an audit translates into significant benefits in the form of increased security and minimized risk of cyber incidents.
