Use Microsoft Azure (ARM) As a Review-Ready Evidence Source

Pull evidence from Microsoft Azure (ARM), preserve source and collection history, and map the output directly to the controls reviewers ask about. Aurora automates recurring collection where the connector supports it and keeps export-based handoffs clean where it does not.

Common coverage includes Cloud audit logging, Cloud Security Management, and Public access prevention.
Supports recurring audits, buyer reviews, and renewal requests. We'll show what can run automatically and where export-based collection still makes sense.

Setup

Setup

A short path from connection to an exportable evidence bundle.

01
Connect Microsoft Azure (ARM)
Sign-in method: OAuth 2.0 (application sign-in). Read-only, least-privilege access.
02
Confirm Evidence Sources and Cadence
Confirm evidence sources and set cadence (every 1 hour).
03
Validate Capture (Read-Only Where Possible)
Validate evidence capture in read-only mode (where possible) before expanding workflows.
04
Map Evidence to Controls
Map captured artifacts to controls (3 mapped controls listed).
05
Bundle evidence when needed
Export an evidence bundle (ZIP) when you need an offline attachment. Aurora keeps the underlying source and timestamps so the work stays reusable.

Capture

What This Integration Captures

Evidence types and collection notes, based on the integration’s published resources.

What Aurora monitors
2 continuous checks
Azure Activity Log export configured • Azure Storage public access prevention enforced
Evidence Aurora can collect
2 evidence types
Accounts • Resource
How it stays current
Incremental updates every 1 hour. Full refresh daily.
Checks update as new data is synced.
Checks
Automated checks Aurora can run
Checks map directly to common buyer requirements. Reviewers see the result as exportable evidence, not a screenshot.
Azure Activity Log export configured

Evidence
Evidence types collected
These evidence objects can be mapped to controls and exported as an evidence bundle or audit workbook snapshot.

Reviewers

Why It Matters for Reviewers

A few ways this reduces follow-ups during audits and buyer reviews.

  • Reduces evidence follow-ups by attaching system exports directly to answers.
  • Keeps timestamps explicit for audit windows.
  • Makes sampling easier through evidence bundles.

Common questions

Microsoft Azure (ARM) Integration Questions

Short answers to common evaluation questions.

Does this require admin access?
It depends on the evidence you choose to capture. We'll confirm required permissions during setup.
Can we control cadence?
Yes. In eligible plans, cadence is configurable.
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Yes. Export evidence bundles for offline attachments, or give reviewers structured access through Trust Center. Aurora keeps the source and timestamps so work stays reusable between reviews.
