LOG-04CriticalRecommended Secure

Configure Privileged Operation Alerts

Logging & Visibility control for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID

Why This Control Matters

Without alerts on privileged operations, attackers can modify security settings undetected. Real-time alerting on role changes, CA policy edits, and consent grants enables rapid incident response.

Expected State

When this control is compliant, your tenant should meet these criteria:

  • 1Alerts are configured for critical privileged operations
  • 2Role assignment changes trigger notifications
  • 3Conditional Access policy modifications are alerted
  • 4Application consent grants are tracked
