Tenant-bound identity
The expected tenant GUID and delegated operator identity are validated before evidence collection.
Built for enterprise scrutiny
Methodology, Access & Client Protection
Tenant-bound authentication, least-privilege permissions, a read-only runtime, qualified evidence, human acceptance, and integrity-recorded delivery.
Assessment controls
Designed to answer enterprise security and procurement questions.
Least privilege
A permission preflight shows each requested read scope, why it is required, and which optional feature uses it.
Read-only boundary
Assessment runtime does not patch, delete, retire, wipe, assign, remediate, isolate, scan, offboard, or change tenant configuration.
Provider-aware EDR access
Microsoft Defender evidence uses approved read-only permissions. Third-party EDR reviews use client-supplied evidence and request no vendor API access.
Report-query clarity
Intune report endpoints may use POST to retrieve report data. These queries do not modify tenant configuration.
Evidence qualification
Unavailable APIs, licensing constraints, collection errors, partial status, and manual validations are disclosed.
Human acceptance
Technical completion does not authorize delivery. Failed gates must clear and warnings require disposition.
Framework statement
Alignment evidence—not certification.
Microsoft guidance, client-authorized CIS benchmark content, and NIST CSF mappings help organize observed evidence. They do not constitute Microsoft, CIS, NIST, regulatory, legal, or audit certification.
- Client provides licensed CIS source content
- Intune control-plane evidence is distinct from device-state validation
- Unobservable controls remain manual validations
- Every finding requires context and client ownership
- Implementation requires separate change authorization
Delivery integrity
Review first. Approve second. Deliver last.
01
Technical validation
Confirm required evidence, report integrity, collection credibility, and module completion.
02
Qualification
Review errors, limitations, conflicts, high-risk findings, and manual validation requirements.
03
Acceptance
Assign owners and disposition warnings as accepted, resolved, or not applicable.
04
Finalization
Create the CLIENT-APPROVED package and record its integrity before transfer.
