Template family: Conditional Access
Applies to: Microsoft Entra ID
Where to find it: Secure → Conditional Access → Templates → Augmentt Default
What this template is for
Multifactor authentication requires users to provide a second form of verification during sign-in, significantly reducing the risk of credential-based attacks. Enabling MFA for all users, not just administrators, is a foundational security control. This policy satisfies CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark v6.0.0 section 5.2.2.2 (L1). Note: break-glass emergency access accounts should be excluded from this policy.
What it actually does
Who it covers. Every user in the tenant, when they sign in to all cloud apps.
Who is excluded. Service-provider (GDAP) guest accounts are excluded automatically, so your own technicians keep access if the policy misfires.
What it enforces. Entra ID will require multifactor authentication.
Deployment state. Report-only.
Augmentt deploys this template in report-only mode. Entra ID evaluates every sign-in and records what would have happened in the sign-in logs, but nothing is blocked or challenged until you switch the policy to On. Review the report-only results before enforcing.

This is an Augmentt Default template, shipped with the product and shared across all customers. Deploying it creates a new policy in the customer tenant; edit the deployed policy rather than the template.
