Bottom Line

Your posture scores 72/100 — solid, but three admin accounts still lack MFA and audit logging is off. These are exactly the exposures that fail cyber-insurance questionnaires and invite ransomware. All three are fixable this month.

What

3 of 14 admin accounts can sign in without MFA.

Why

Privileged accounts are the #1 ransomware entry point.

Expected Impact

Closeable this week — the single biggest risk reduction available.

MFA Gap

3 of 14 admin accounts can sign in with a password alone.

No Audit Trail

Unified audit logging is off — a breach would be invisible after the fact.

Legacy Auth

Basic authentication protocols remain enabled, bypassing MFA entirely.

Quick Wins

03 / UPSIDE

Enable Logging

Turning on unified audit logging is a one-click, zero-cost win.

Insurance Ready

Closing the MFA gap likely satisfies your cyber-insurance MFA requirement outright.

Recommended Action

Enforce MFA on all admin accounts and enable unified audit logging this week.

Expected: Posture score 72 → ~85; meets the cyber-insurance MFA requirement.

Remediation Plan

04 / ACTIONS

→ Enforce MFA on the 3 remaining admin accounts

→ Enable unified audit logging in Microsoft Purview

→ Disable legacy authentication protocols

→ Draft a baseline conditional-access policy
