Template family: Conditional Access
Applies to: Microsoft Entra ID
Where to find it: Secure → Conditional Access → Templates → Augmentt Default
What this template is for
PR.PS-04 — Log integrity maintained across platforms. Blocks authentication using legacy protocols (Exchange ActiveSync, POP3, IMAP, etc.) for all users. Legacy protocols do not support MFA — they authenticate with username and password only, making them a favorite entry point for password-spray and credential-stuffing attacks. Blocking them forces all authentication through modern flows where MFA can be enforced.
What it actually does
Who it covers. Every user in the tenant, when they sign in to all cloud apps, and only from Exchange ActiveSync clients and legacy authentication clients.
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 block the sign-in outright.
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.
