Require FIDO2 Security Keys for Administrators for FedRAMP Compliance
Learn how PA-06 helps you meet FedRAMP requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.
FedRAMP compliance requires implementing specific controls around require fido2 security keys for administrators. This page explains how TrueConfig's PA-06 control helps you meet FedRAMP requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.
How PA-06 Addresses FedRAMP Requirements
FedRAMP requires organizations to implement controls around require fido2 security keys for administrators. The PA-06 control provides:
- All users with privileged roles have registered FIDO2 security keys
- Each admin has at least 2 keys registered (primary + backup)
- PIM activation requires FIDO2 authentication
These measures directly support FedRAMP compliance by ensuring proper privileged_access security in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Implementation for Compliance
To satisfy FedRAMP 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 FedRAMP 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 FedRAMP
Hardware security keys provide the highest authentication assurance. Unlike software-based MFA, keys cannot be phished, cloned, or remotely compromised. Level 3 mandates this protection for all admin access.
Implementing PA-06 is an important step toward FedRAMP compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to FedRAMP requirements.
