User MFA Registration for CIS Benchmark Compliance

Learn how ID-01 helps you meet CIS Benchmark requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

CIS Benchmark compliance requires implementing specific controls around user mfa registration. This page explains how TrueConfig's ID-01 control helps you meet CIS Benchmark requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.

How ID-01 Addresses CIS Benchmark Requirements

CIS Benchmark requires organizations to implement controls around user mfa registration. The ID-01 control provides:

  • 95% or more of users have MFA methods registered
  • Users have registered Microsoft Authenticator, security keys, or phone
  • Break-glass accounts are excluded from this metric

These measures directly support CIS Benchmark compliance by ensuring proper identity security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy CIS Benchmark requirements with this control:

  • **Enable the control** - Follow the manual configuration steps
  • **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

MFA blocks over 99.9% of account compromise attacks. Even with a CA policy requiring MFA, users must actually register MFA methods to be protected. Low registration means users are vulnerable.

Implementing ID-01 is an important step toward CIS Benchmark compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to CIS Benchmark requirements.
