Why third-party access is a Part 500 focus
Contractors, claims adjusters and outsourced IT often access Microsoft 365 from devices an insurer does not own or manage. Part 500 still expects covered entities to control access to nonpublic information.
How PosturePass supports the control
- Verify at sign-in. PosturePass checks six security settings on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Feed Conditional Access. PosturePass sends the compliance result to Microsoft Entra ID alongside existing identity and MFA conditions.
- Record the evidence. Each check records the user, device, settings, result, remediation and time.
PosturePass supports controls and evidence. No single product makes an organization compliant with Part 500. Each organization remains responsible for its cybersecurity program and legal interpretation.
Why not MDM
A contractor device may belong to another employer, preventing Intune enrollment. PosturePass verifies the device without enrolling, wiping, locking or controlling it.
