Enable Token Protection for CIS Benchmark Compliance
Learn how CA-10 helps you meet CIS Benchmark requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.
CIS Benchmark compliance requires implementing specific controls around enable token protection. This page explains how TrueConfig's CA-10 control helps you meet CIS Benchmark requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.
How CA-10 Addresses CIS Benchmark Requirements
CIS Benchmark requires organizations to implement controls around enable token protection. The CA-10 control provides:
- Token binding is enabled for sensitive applications
- Refresh token protection is configured
- Sign-in frequency controls complement token protection
These measures directly support CIS Benchmark compliance by ensuring proper conditional_access security in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Implementation for Compliance
To satisfy CIS Benchmark requirements with this control:
- **Enable the control** - Use TrueConfig's one-click remediation
- **Document your implementation** - Record how the control was configured
- **Maintain evidence** - TrueConfig automatically logs compliance status
- **Monitor continuously** - Track any deviations from the expected state
Evidence Collection
For CIS Benchmark audits, you'll need to demonstrate:
- Current configuration state
- Historical compliance data
- Remediation actions taken
- Continuous monitoring in place
TrueConfig provides all of this evidence through its audit trail and reporting features.
Why This Control Matters for CIS Benchmark
Stolen tokens can be replayed from any device or location. Token protection binds tokens to specific devices, making stolen tokens useless. This is the primary defense against token theft attacks.
Implementing CA-10 is an important step toward CIS Benchmark compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to CIS Benchmark requirements.
