Control: 1.1.8 Enable Azure AD Identity Protection sign-in risk policies

Description

Azure Active Directory Identity Protection sign-in risk detects risks in real-time and offline. A risky sign-in is an indicator for a sign-in attempt that might not have been performed by the legitimate owner of a user account.

Turning on the sign-in risk policy ensures that suspicious sign-ins are challenged for multi-factor authentication.

Remediation

To configure a Sign-In risk policy, use the following steps:

Log in to https://admin.microsoft.com as a Global Administrator.
Go to Admin centers and click on Azure Active Directory.
Select Azure Active Directory then Security.
Select Conditional Access.
Create a new policy by selecting New policy.
Set the following conditions within the policy.
- Under Users or workload identities choose All users.
- Under Cloud apps or actions choose All cloud apps.
- Under Conditions choose Sign-in risk then Yes in the right pane followed by the appropriate level.
- Under Access Controls select Grant then in the right pane click Grant access then select Require muilti-factor authentication.
Click Select.
You may opt to begin in a state of Report Only as you step through implementation however, the policy will need to be set to On to be in effect.
Click Create.

NOTE: For more information regarding risk levels refer to Microsoft's Identity Protection & Risk Doc.

This control uses a named query:

  select
    tenant_id,
    count(*)
  from
    azuread_conditional_access_policy
  where
    users->'includeUsers' ?& array['All'] and
    jsonb_array_length(users -> 'excludeUsers') = 0 and
    jsonb_array_length(sign_in_risk_levels) != 0 and
    applications->'includeApplications' ?& array['All'] and
    jsonb_array_length(applications -> 'excludeApplications') = 0 and
    built_in_controls ?& array['mfa']
  group by
    tenant_id
),
tenant_list as (
  select
    distinct on (tenant_id) tenant_id,
    _ctx
  from
    azuread_user
)
select
  t.tenant_id as resource,
  case
    when (select count from block_legacy_authentication where tenant_id = t.tenant_id) > 0 then 'ok'
    else 'alarm'
  end as status,
  case
    when (select count from block_legacy_authentication where tenant_id = t.tenant_id) > 0 then t.tenant_id || ' has sign-in risk policies enabled.'
    else t.tenant_id || ' has sign-in risk policies disabled.'
