How to identify the report-only mode Conditional Access policies?
To effectively manage Conditional Access policies in Microsoft 365, understanding the significance of report-only mode CA policies is crucial. These policies, if left unmonitored, can introduce security vulnerabilities and compliance challenges. Therefore, it's essential to monitor them carefully to ensure they are correctly configured and enforced after analysis.
Why to Monitor the Report-Only Mode Conditional Access Policies?
- Impact Assessment: Before applying policies in the live environment, assess their impact by monitoring them in report-only mode.
- Policy Optimization: Fine-tune policies for better security without impacting productivity.
- Compliance: Ensure policies align with regulatory and organizational requirements.
- Comprehensive Understanding: By monitoring the report-only mode CA policies, admins can see how the CA policies work together and their combined effect.
You can view the report-only mode CA policies by using filters in the Entra admin center. Microsoft 365 doesn't provide any direct report for them.
- On the Conditional Access policies page, select Add filter.
- Set the 'Filter' to State and for the 'Value', select only the Report-only mode.
- Now, you can view all the report-only mode CA policies in your Microsoft 365.
Additionally, report-only mode CA policies are not enforced but can be evaluated during sign-ins. You can check this via the Azure AD Sign-in logs under the Monitoring & Health section of the Entra admin center.
