1.11 Ensure That 'Users Can Consent to Apps Accessing Company Data on Their Behalf' Is Set To 'Allow for Verified Publishers'
Information
Allow users to provide consent for selected permissions when a request is coming from a verified publisher.Rationale:
Unless Azure Active Directory is running as an identity provider for third-party applications, do not allow users to use their identity outside of the cloud environment. User profiles contain private information such as phone numbers and email addresses which could then be sold off to other third parties without requiring any further consent from the user.
Impact:
Enforcing this setting may create additional requests that administrators need to fulfill quite often.
NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
