Require Phishing-Resistant MFA for All Users for SOC 2 Compliance

Learn how ID-04 helps you meet SOC 2 requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

SOC 2 compliance requires implementing specific controls around require phishing-resistant mfa for all users. This page explains how TrueConfig's ID-04 control helps you meet SOC 2 requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.

How ID-04 Addresses SOC 2 Requirements

SOC 2 requires organizations to implement controls around require phishing-resistant mfa for all users. The ID-04 control provides:

  • All users must use phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2, Windows Hello, passkeys)
  • SMS and voice call authentication methods are disabled tenant-wide
  • Push notification MFA is disabled or only allowed with number matching

These measures directly support SOC 2 compliance by ensuring proper identity 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

Phishing attacks can bypass traditional MFA. At Level 3, the entire organization uses authentication methods that cryptographically prove user presence, eliminating MFA bypass attacks entirely.

Implementing ID-04 is an important step toward SOC 2 compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to SOC 2 requirements.
