Question 40
An automation updates a set of employee departments nightly but must not receive broad write authority to every directory operation. The initial implementation works. Which continuing control most directly prevents the same failure or drift from recurring?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Review application permissions and administrator consent periodically, removing unused directory-wide grants. This reduces future drift after the initial control is deployed: grant only the applicable supported Microsoft Graph user-update permissions, and constrain app identity and target scope as the API supports. Recheck the actual behavior with: run a controlled update against an authorized test user and verify a nonauthorized operation fails.
Incorrect Answers
This control manages future device registration limits drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described microsoft graph user change permissions case. The correct safeguard is: review application permissions and administrator consent periodically, removing unused directory-wide grants.
This control manages future custom security attribute authorization drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described microsoft graph user change permissions case. The correct safeguard is: review application permissions and administrator consent periodically, removing unused directory-wide grants.
This control manages future bulk employee provisioning drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described microsoft graph user change permissions case. The correct safeguard is: review application permissions and administrator consent periodically, removing unused directory-wide grants.
