# Implementing Conditional Access Policies in Azure AD

## Overview
Configure Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Conditional Access policies for zero trust access control. Covers signal-based policy design, device compliance requirements, risk-based authentication, named locations, session controls, and integration with NIST SP 1800-35 zero trust architecture.


## When to Use

- When deploying or configuring implementing conditional access policies azure ad capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

## Prerequisites

- Familiarity with identity access management concepts and tools
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

## Objectives
- Implement comprehensive implementing conditional access policies in azure ad capability
- Establish automated discovery and monitoring processes
- Integrate with enterprise IAM and security tools
- Generate compliance-ready documentation and reports
- Align with NIST 800-53 access control requirements

## Security Controls
| Control | NIST 800-53 | Description |
|---------|-------------|-------------|
| Account Management | AC-2 | Lifecycle management |
| Access Enforcement | AC-3 | Policy-based access control |
| Least Privilege | AC-6 | Minimum necessary permissions |
| Audit Logging | AU-3 | Authentication and access events |
| Identification | IA-2 | User and service identification |

## Verification
- [ ] Implementation tested in non-production environment
- [ ] Security policies configured and enforced
- [ ] Audit logging enabled and forwarding to SIEM
- [ ] Documentation and runbooks complete
- [ ] Compliance evidence generated

# API Reference: Azure AD Conditional Access Audit Agent

## Dependencies

| Library | Version | Purpose |
|---------|---------|---------|
| requests | >=2.28 | HTTP client for Microsoft Graph API |

## CLI Usage

```bash
python scripts/agent.py \
  --tenant-id TENANT_ID --client-id CLIENT_ID --client-secret SECRET \
  --output-dir /reports/
```

## Functions

### `ConditionalAccessClient(tenant_id, client_id, client_secret)`
Authenticates via OAuth2 client credentials to Microsoft Graph.

### `list_policies() -> list`
GET `/identity/conditionalAccess/policies` - All conditional access policies.

### `list_named_locations() -> list`
GET `/identity/conditionalAccess/namedLocations` - Named locations for geo-fencing.

### `audit_policy(policy) -> dict`
Checks for: MFA requirement, enabled state, app coverage, grant controls.

### `check_baseline_policies(policies) -> list`
Verifies essential baselines: MFA for admins, block legacy auth, require compliant devices.

### `generate_report(client) -> dict`
Full audit with per-policy findings and baseline gap analysis.

## Microsoft Graph Endpoints

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /identity/conditionalAccess/policies` | List CA policies |
| `GET /identity/conditionalAccess/namedLocations` | Named locations |

## Output Schema

```json
{
  "total_policies": 15, "enabled_policies": 12,
  "summary": {"high_risk": 3, "missing_baselines": 1},
  "baseline_checks": [{"baseline": "Require MFA for admins", "implemented": true}]
}
