Application Ownership for Apps with Credentials for ISO 27001 Compliance
Learn how APP-01 helps you meet ISO 27001 requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.
ISO 27001 compliance requires implementing specific controls around application ownership for apps with credentials. This page explains how TrueConfig's APP-01 control helps you meet ISO 27001 requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.
How APP-01 Addresses ISO 27001 Requirements
ISO 27001 requires organizations to implement controls around application ownership for apps with credentials. The APP-01 control provides:
- Apps with secrets or certificates should have owners assigned
- Owners enable accountability for credential rotation
These measures directly support ISO 27001 compliance by ensuring proper applications security in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Implementation for Compliance
To satisfy ISO 27001 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 ISO 27001 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 ISO 27001
Apps with credentials (secrets or certificates) benefit from having owners for accountability during credential rotation. Apps without credentials don't need ownership tracking. Note: Owners can add credentials, so for privileged apps, restrict ownership to administrators.
Implementing APP-01 is an important step toward ISO 27001 compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to ISO 27001 requirements.
