Your company currently utilizes an Azure subscription that has enhanced security measures enabled through Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Recently, your company has entered into a contractual agreement with the United States government, which requires adherence to specific regulatory standards. As a result, you need to assess the current Azure subscription for compliance with the NIST 800-53 (National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53) guidelines. What is the initial step you should undertake to perform this compliance review?
Explanation:
The first step in reviewing the Azure subscription for NIST 800-53 compliance is to add the NIST 800-53 regulatory compliance standard in Defender for Cloud. This allows you to monitor your compliance with the specific requirements of the NIST 800-53 standard. Once added, you can review the compliance status and take appropriate actions to address any issues found. Microsoft Defender for Cloud compares your resources' configurations with industry standards, providing insights into your compliance posture.
