Microsoft Entra ID - User Guide

Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID users can connect using Azure AD

Integrating with Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 will allow Scytale to collect relevant user access information and their access privilege rights on Microsoft. This will help to inspect and ensure that only authorized users have access to Microsoft - which is one of the key criteria when testing logical access. Manually collecting this type of evidence can take some time, especially when you need to prove to the auditors that the user listings are complete and accurate, and when you have a long list of users that require multiple pieces of evidence to be provided.

Automating the collection of user listings and access privileges streamlines the sampling process for the audit, and also provides assurance over the accuracy and completeness of the evidence collected.
