Microsoft Azure
Reads your Azure subscription configuration directly — storage account public access and secure transfer, managed-disk encryption, and activity-log export. Needs a Reader role assignment; no Defender for Cloud plan required.
What CMDash reads
- Cloud configuration checks
Syncs only read from Microsoft Azure. Some integrations also support write-back actions on Command and Enterprise plans, such as opening a ticket or deactivating a user.
How you connect
An API key or token you create in the vendor console and enter in CMDash.
Once connected, CMDash syncs it every 4 hours by default. What it finds maps to your controls through rules you install or write.
Where this fits in your frameworks
- CIS Controls v8.1 — Cloud configuration checks feeds Secure Configuration
- FedRAMP Moderate — Cloud configuration checks feeds Configuration Management
This is where Microsoft Azure’s data is documented as relevant on our framework pages — not a pre-built, automatic control mapping. You configure which controls it maps to inside CMDash.
