Azure security baseline for Trusted Hardware Identity Management

This security baseline applies guidance from the Microsoft cloud security benchmark version 1.0 to Trusted Hardware Identity Management. The Microsoft cloud security benchmark provides recommendations on how you can secure your cloud solutions on Azure. The content is grouped by the security controls defined by the Microsoft cloud security benchmark and the related guidance applicable to Trusted Hardware Identity Management.

You can monitor this security baseline and its recommendations using Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Azure Policy definitions will be listed in the Regulatory Compliance section of the Microsoft Defender for Cloud portal page.

When a feature has relevant Azure Policy Definitions, they are listed in this baseline to help you measure compliance with the Microsoft cloud security benchmark controls and recommendations. Some recommendations may require a paid Microsoft Defender plan to enable certain security scenarios.

Note

Features not applicable to Trusted Hardware Identity Management have been excluded. To see how Trusted Hardware Identity Management completely maps to the Microsoft cloud security benchmark, see the full Trusted Hardware Identity Management security baseline mapping file.
