What this template does

This control pack continuously collects the full privileged role assignment state from Entra ID and Azure RBAC. It evaluates each assignment against a configurable policy baseline — checking for standing admin access, missing MFA enforcement, over-broad role assignments, and accounts with no recent activity. Policy violations surface as severity-ranked findings in the Nuxari findings queue, each with a recommended remediation action and a one-click path to approval-gated removal.

When to use it

Use this template if your organization has more than a handful of Azure or Entra ID administrators and you cannot guarantee the state of privileged access at any given moment. It is especially valuable during audit preparation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF, where evidence of privileged access control is required.

How it works

01

Privileged role inventory

Nuxari collects all current privileged role assignments from Entra ID and Azure RBAC — including Global Admin, Privileged Role Admin, Owner, and User Access Administrator at every scope.

02

Policy evaluation

Each assignment is evaluated against the configured policy baseline: MFA enforcement, just-in-time vs standing access, last sign-in recency, and role breadth.

03

Finding generation

Policy violations are surfaced as severity-ranked findings. Critical findings (e.g., Global Admin with no MFA) appear immediately in the findings queue.

04

Approval-gated remediation

Each finding has a recommended remediation action. Remediation is approval-gated — the action is presented to an approver before execution.

05

Validation and evidence

After remediation, Nuxari re-evaluates the control and captures a closing evidence record confirming the finding is resolved.

What gets created in your tenant

Control Pack

Azure Privileged Access Controls

A set of continuously-evaluated controls for privileged role hygiene in Azure and Entra ID.

Findings Pipeline

Privileged Access Findings

A findings queue populated by policy violations, each with severity classification and a remediation path.

Approval Workflow

Privileged Access Remediation Approval

A per-finding approval workflow that gates all privileged access changes behind an approver decision.

Evidence Package Template

Privileged Access Review Evidence

Structured evidence records for each assessment cycle, finding, approval decision, and remediation action.

What evidence it produces

  • Privileged role assignment inventory with timestamps
  • Policy violation findings report
  • MFA compliance status per privileged account
  • Just-in-time vs standing access breakdown
  • Approval records for each remediation action
  • Post-remediation validation evidence

Safety and approval model

Templates install as Draft / Disabled by default. No actions run until you explicitly enable the template after reviewing the configuration.

This template requires an approval decision before enabling. No execution occurs without a recorded approver sign-off.

This template installs in Draft state. No findings are generated and no controls run until you connect the required connectors and explicitly enable the control pack. All remediation actions are approval-gated and cannot be executed without a recorded approval decision. The control pack is read-only by default — it collects and evaluates data but does not modify any Azure or Entra ID resource without an approved remediation workflow.

Customization options

  • Policy baseline configuration (MFA requirement, standing access threshold, inactivity window)
  • Role scope (Global Admin only, all privileged roles, custom role list)
  • Severity thresholds for finding classification
  • Approval chain per finding severity
  • Notification routing for critical findings
  • Assessment frequency (continuous, daily, weekly)
