I have an automated test for Microsoft Entra ID regarding “Minimum password length” that is currently showing as Failed.
The test report itself acknowledges this is a known platform limitation, stating:
“[2021-11-15 Ver 1] The test always fails, because Azure AD password policies default setting is 8 for password minimum length, that cannot be changed, so test never meet the password minimum 12 length criteria.”
How do I properly document this in Trustcloud? I need to:
Add an exception/compensating controls for this test
Upload evidence showing our compensating controls (MFA, Conditional Access, Password Protection, etc.)
Change the status from “Failed” to “Risk Accepted” or similar
I cannot leave this as a failing test for my SOC2 audit when it’s an acknowledged Microsoft platform limitation.
What I need to know:
Where in the Trustcloud interface can I add an exception for this automated test?
What is the proper workflow for documenting compensating controls?
Can automated tests be marked as “Accepted Risk with Compensating Controls”?
Do I need to upload specific evidence files, or is there a form to fill out?
Please advise on the recommended approach for handling automated tests that fail due to third-party platform limitations beyond our control.
Thank you!
Hi Utsav! If you click the three dots on the right side of the test box you should be able to exclude the test.
