Require Compliant Devices for Global Admins for Financial Services & Banking
How financial services & banking organizations should implement DV-02 for Microsoft 365 security and compliance.
Financial Services & Banking organizations face unique security challenges when managing Microsoft 365 environments. The DV-02 control (Require Compliant Devices for Global Admins) is particularly important for this sector due to soc2 and pci-dss requirements.
Why Financial Services & Banking Organizations Need This Control
Financial Services & Banking organizations face specific regulatory requirements including soc2, pci-dss, nist-800-53, iso27001. The DV-02 control helps address these requirements by:
- All Global Administrator sign-ins require compliant devices
- Devices are enrolled in Intune with compliance policies
- Non-compliant devices cannot access admin portals
Admin credentials on non-compliant devices are at high risk. Keyloggers, malware, and credential theft are common on unmanaged devices. Requiring compliance ensures admin actions occur from secured endpoints.
