Internal App Registration Permissions for Zero Trust Compliance
Learn how APP-03 helps you meet Zero Trust requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.
Zero Trust compliance requires implementing specific controls around internal app registration permissions. This page explains how TrueConfig's APP-03 control helps you meet Zero Trust requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.
How APP-03 Addresses Zero Trust Requirements
Zero Trust requires organizations to implement controls around internal app registration permissions. The APP-03 control provides:
- Internal app registrations with high-privilege Graph permissions are documented and reviewed quarterly
- Permissions like Mail.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, and RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory are flagged
- Each internal app with elevated permissions has documented business justification
These measures directly support Zero Trust compliance by ensuring proper applications security in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Implementation for Compliance
To satisfy Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust
Internal app registrations are applications you created and control. While you own the code, misconfigured permissions can expose excessive access. Regular review ensures your own apps only have necessary permissions.
Implementing APP-03 is an important step toward Zero Trust compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to Zero Trust requirements.
