Microsoft Intune service must notify system administrators and the information system security officer (ISSO) for account removal actions.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

When application accounts are removed, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are used for identifying users or for identifying the application processes themselves. Sending notification of account removal events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that application accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes. To address access requirements, many operating systems can be integrated with enterprise-level authentication/access/auditing mechanisms that meet or exceed access control policy requirements.

A Manual Procedure

Account management is managed by Entra ID. Intune cannot be configured to not use Entra ID. Event monitoring and alerting may be implemented through various methods including log aggregation and the use of monitoring tools. It is recommended that Entra ID be configured to download audit logs to a log management server (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/monitoring-health/howto-download-logs) and the log management server be configured to alert the ISSO when accounts are removed.
