Entitlement Management for Legal Services
How legal services organizations should implement GOV-06 for Microsoft 365 security and compliance.
For legal services companies using Microsoft 365, entitlement management is a security priority. This guide explains how GOV-06 helps legal services organizations protect their identity infrastructure while meeting industry-specific compliance mandates.
Why Legal Services Organizations Need This Control
Legal Services organizations face specific regulatory requirements including soc2, iso27001, cis. The GOV-06 control helps address these requirements by:
- Access packages are configured for structured provisioning
- Approval workflows are defined for sensitive resources
- Access packages include expiration policies
Without structured access provisioning, users accumulate permissions over time. Entitlement management bundles resources into governed access packages with approval workflows and automatic expiration.
Industry-Specific Considerations
When implementing GOV-06 in a legal services environment, consider:
- **Regulatory requirements**: soc2, iso27001, cis may mandate specific configurations
- **Risk tolerance**: Legal Services organizations typically have moderate to low risk tolerance
- **Audit frequency**: Plan for regular compliance reviews
- **Documentation**: Maintain detailed records for regulatory inspections
How to Configure
GOV-06 requires the following configuration:
- Access packages are configured for structured provisioning
- Approval workflows are defined for sensitive resources
- Access packages include expiration policies
