Require Compliant Devices for Global Admins for Technology & Software
How technology & software organizations should implement DV-02 for Microsoft 365 security and compliance.
Technology & Software 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 iso27001 requirements.
Why Technology & Software Organizations Need This Control
Technology & Software organizations face specific regulatory requirements including soc2, iso27001, cis. 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.
Industry-Specific Considerations
When implementing DV-02 in a technology & software environment, consider:
- **Regulatory requirements**: soc2, iso27001, cis may mandate specific configurations
- **Risk tolerance**: Technology & Software organizations typically have moderate to low risk tolerance
- **Audit frequency**: Plan for regular compliance reviews
- **Documentation**: Maintain detailed records for regulatory inspections
Implementation Steps
To implement DV-02 in your Microsoft 365 environment:
- All Global Administrator sign-ins require compliant devices
- Devices are enrolled in Intune with compliance policies
- Non-compliant devices cannot access admin portals
TrueConfig can automatically remediate this control with one click.
Technology Compliance Requirements
Technology organizations must comply with these frameworks, all of which address require compliant devices for global admins:
Why This Control Matters for Technology
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.
Common threats in technology & software:
- • Source code theft and IP exfiltration
- • Supply chain attacks through dependencies
- • Credential compromise in CI/CD pipelines
For technology & software organizations, DV-02 is a key component of a compliant Microsoft 365 security posture. TrueConfig helps you implement and maintain this control while meeting industry-specific requirements.
