Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question

Your company recently adopted the NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 security framework. You need to generate a score that shows how well the resources in an Azure subscription align with that framework by using Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC). Which action should you perform first?

  • Enable only the Azure Security Benchmark standard and filter the results to NIST-related recommendations.

  • Enable continuous export of Secure Score recommendations to an Azure Log Analytics workspace and build a workbook for NIST controls.

  • Add the built-in NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 regulatory compliance standard to the subscription in the Regulatory compliance tab.

  • Create a custom Azure Policy initiative that contains NIST SP 800-53 controls and assign it to the subscription.
