Zero Trust Network Access for Manufacturing & Industrial
How manufacturing & industrial organizations should implement CA-09 for Microsoft 365 security and compliance.
For manufacturing & industrial companies using Microsoft 365, zero trust network access is a security priority. This guide explains how CA-09 helps manufacturing & industrial organizations protect their identity infrastructure while meeting industry-specific compliance mandates.
Why Manufacturing & Industrial Organizations Need This Control
Manufacturing & Industrial organizations face specific regulatory requirements including iso27001, nist-800-53, cis. The CA-09 control helps address these requirements by:
- All cloud app access requires a compliant device
- Named locations are configured for corporate networks
- Location-based blocking policies are enforced
- Risk-based sign-in policies are active
Full Zero Trust: never trust, always verify. Every access request is validated against device health, user risk, and location. This ensures compromised devices and credentials cannot access resources.
Industry-Specific Considerations
When implementing CA-09 in a manufacturing & industrial environment, consider:
- **Regulatory requirements**: iso27001, nist-800-53, cis may mandate specific configurations
- **Risk tolerance**: Manufacturing & Industrial 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
CA-09 requires the following configuration:
- All cloud app access requires a compliant device
- Named locations are configured for corporate networks
- Location-based blocking policies are enforced
- Risk-based sign-in policies are active
Creates a CA policy requiring device compliance for all cloud apps. PREREQUISITE: Intune device compliance policies must be configured.
With TrueConfig, you can implement this control automatically using our one-click remediation feature.
Manufacturing Compliance Requirements
Manufacturing organizations must comply with these frameworks, all of which address zero trust network access:
Why This Control Matters for Manufacturing
Full Zero Trust: never trust, always verify. Every access request is validated against device health, user risk, and location. This ensures compromised devices and credentials cannot access resources.
Common threats in manufacturing & industrial:
- • Ransomware targeting production systems
- • IP theft through credential compromise
- • Supply chain infiltration
For manufacturing & industrial organizations, CA-09 is a key component of a compliant Microsoft 365 security posture. TrueConfig helps you implement and maintain this control while meeting industry-specific requirements.
