What Microsoft Azure’s data evidences toward CIS Controls v8.1 today, and how to connect it.
What Microsoft Azure evidences here
- Cloud configuration checks feeds Secure Configuration
This is where Microsoft Azure’s data is documented as relevant on our CIS Controls v8.1 page — not a pre-built, automatic control mapping. You configure which controls it maps to inside CMDash.
How you connect 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.
