Can you answer these about your own tenant right now?

  • 1. Do you know how many app registrations and enterprise apps exist in your tenant?
  • 2. Can you name which apps have secrets or certificates expiring in the next 60 days?
  • 3. Do you have credentials that never expire, or were set to multi-year lifetimes?
  • 4. If a critical app's credential expired tomorrow, would SSO break before you noticed?
  • 5. When a secret is about to expire, do you know who owns the app and can rotate it in time?
If you paused on any of these, run your free AppGov Score
