Enforce security governance and regulatory compliance - Part 1

This session will focus on Enforcing Security Governance and Regulatory Compliance in Azure, helping mentees to understand how to apply governance controls, strengthen cloud security posture, and evaluate compliance readiness using Microsoft security technologies.

As organizations continue to move critical workloads to the cloud, security governance and regulatory compliance must be built into every layer of the cloud environment.

In this session, we will explore how Azure security governance capabilities can help organizations define standards, enforce policies, prevent risky changes, remediate security gaps, and measure compliance posture across Azure environments.

The session will be based on key Microsoft Learn modules covering:

• Enforcing governance with Azure Policy and resource locks
• Configuring security controls and remediating recommendations in Microsoft Defender for Cloud
• Evaluating regulatory compliance posture using Defender for Cloud

### What you will learn

By the end of this session, participants will understand how to:

• Use Azure Policy to enforce security and governance standards
• Assign built-in policy definitions and initiatives across Azure scopes
• Use resource locks to protect critical Azure resources from accidental deletion or modification
• Configure Defender for Cloud security standards
• Review and remediate cloud security recommendations
• Understand how governance rules, remediation tasks, and exemptions support security operations
• Evaluate regulatory compliance posture in Defender for Cloud
• Identify control gaps and understand how compliance reporting supports audit readiness
