Assessment Workflow
- Select scope (subscription or resource group) for Comprehensive Resources Assessment.
- Run azqr and capture output artifacts.
- Analyze Scan Results and summarize findings and recommendations.
- Review Key Vault Expiration Monitoring output for keys, secrets, and certificates.
- Classify issues and propose remediation or fix steps for each finding.
Priority Classification
| Priority | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Critical | Immediate remediation required for high-impact exposure |
| High | Resolve within days to reduce risk |
| Medium | Plan a resolution in the next sprint |
| Low | Track and fix during regular maintenance |
Error Handling
| Error | Message | Remediation |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication required | "Please login" | Run az login and retry |
| Access denied | "Forbidden" | Confirm permissions and fix role assignments |
| Missing resource | "Not found" | Verify subscription and resource group selection |
Best Practices
- Run compliance scans on a regular schedule (weekly or monthly)
- Track findings over time and verify remediation effectiveness
- Separate compliance reporting from remediation execution
- Keep Key Vault expiration policies documented and enforced
