Activity log alert should exist for specific Policy operations

What does this mean?

This recommendation ensures that Activity Log alerts exist for critical Azure Policy operations, such as creating, updating, or deleting policy assignments. Unauthorized policy changes can weaken security controls across the environment.

Benefits of implementation

• Detects unauthorized weakening of policy controls
• Supports change management for governance configurations
• Enables rapid response to policy tampering

Drawbacks and considerations

• Policy operations in large environments generate many events
• Alert configuration needs to be specific to avoid noise
• Requires operational procedures for alert response

Implementation

Implementation guidance coming soon.
