Remediate High-Risk Users Automatically for SOC 2 Compliance
Learn how CA-04 helps you meet SOC 2 requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.
SOC 2 compliance requires implementing specific controls around remediate high-risk users automatically. This page explains how TrueConfig's CA-04 control helps you meet SOC 2 requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.
How CA-04 Addresses SOC 2 Requirements
SOC 2 requires organizations to implement controls around remediate high-risk users automatically. The CA-04 control provides:
- An Identity Protection user risk policy is enabled
- High-risk users are required to change their password
- Leaked credentials detections trigger immediate remediation
These measures directly support SOC 2 compliance by ensuring proper conditional_access security in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Implementation for Compliance
To satisfy SOC 2 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 SOC 2 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 SOC 2
When Microsoft detects that a user's credentials have been leaked (dark web, breach databases), the user risk policy forces a password change before the attacker can use those credentials.
Implementing CA-04 is an important step toward SOC 2 compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to SOC 2 requirements.
