Require MFA via Conditional Access Policy for Zero Trust Compliance

Learn how CA-01 helps you meet Zero Trust requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

Zero Trust compliance requires implementing specific controls around require mfa via conditional access policy. This page explains how TrueConfig's CA-01 control helps you meet Zero Trust requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.

How CA-01 Addresses Zero Trust Requirements

Zero Trust requires organizations to implement controls around require mfa via conditional access policy. The CA-01 control provides:

  • At least one Conditional Access policy requires MFA for all users
  • Policy applies to all cloud applications
  • Emergency access accounts are excluded
  • Policy state is Enabled (not Report-only)

These measures directly support Zero Trust compliance by ensuring proper conditional_access security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy Zero Trust 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 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

Conditional Access policies provide granular MFA enforcement with proper exclusions. Unlike Security Defaults, CA policies allow you to exclude emergency access accounts while still protecting all users.

Implementing CA-01 is an important step toward Zero Trust compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to Zero Trust requirements.
