What should you use to enforce ISO 27001:2013 standards for an Azure subscription with Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled?

To enforce ISO 27001:2013 standards for an Azure subscription with Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled, using Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is essential because it provides a way to manage who has access to Azure resources and what actions they can perform. ISO 27001 emphasizes the need for proper access controls to protect sensitive data and manage risks effectively. By implementing RBAC, organizations can ensure that only authorized users have access to specific resources, aligning with the principles of least privilege needed to comply with the framework.

Moreover, while other options such as the Security Center Compliance Dashboard might offer insights and visibility into compliance posture and Azure Policy can enforce specific compliance requirements across Azure resources, they do not directly govern access and permissions in the same way that RBAC does. Azure Active Directory is vital for identity and access management but does not directly enforce access controls authorized by the RBAC framework. Thus, RBAC serves as the cornerstone for implementing robust access management practices that fulfill the requirements of ISO 27001:2013.
