Security Determination Map
Actions and decisions for the board, every plane on one scale. What to do first, what is already in hand, and what was declared rather than observed, each marked as such.
Read-only assessors for Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and the AI platforms in use, with the identity plane as the key that joins them. Every finding carries the population it was measured over, what was read and what could not be, and its movement since the last snapshot.
Every plane is placed on the same scale: impact (how serious the finding is), exposure (what was observed), and extent (how much of the population it touches). The same number appears in all three artifacts, and each one traces to a tool record.
Actions and decisions for the board, every plane on one scale. What to do first, what is already in hand, and what was declared rather than observed, each marked as such.
The measures with their movement since the last snapshot: improved, worsened, new, resolved, and not comparable with the reason stated. A number never moves because a tool changed.
Per plane, every finding with its population, what was read and what could not be, and the evidence row it came from. The engineer works from the same rows the board is shown.
Five kinds of estate, read by their own assessors, feed one assessment. What comes out is a decision you can defend: what to do first, who owns it, and whether last quarter's work moved the number.
Read-only, run as an ordinary account. Every finding carries the population it was measured over, what was read and what could not be, and its movement since the last snapshot.
Solid lines are the identity joins the assessors match on. Dashed amber lines are telemetry into the security tooling. Every assessor's derived files converge in the Decision Map.
The tenant's identity plane: users, groups, devices, apps, roles, policies. The key every other plane joins on.
Forest, domain controllers, privileged groups, AD CS, delegation, trusts.
Joins Entra through Connect Sync on SID and immutable id; unmatched and ambiguous identities stay visible. Defender for Identity sensors on the domain controllers feed the security tooling.
Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Purview, Copilot seats and content reach.
Same identities: mailboxes, role groups, consents, Copilot seats.
Subscriptions, RBAC, resources, diagnostics, Key Vault, backup.
RBAC principals are the tenant's users, groups and service principals. Defender for Cloud assessments and alerts feed the security tooling.
Entra device records, Intune, Defender for Endpoint inventory.
Device records (join state, tags, OS build) matched to MDE and Intune records. Defender for Endpoint sensor telemetry feeds the security tooling.
Defender XDR, Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps.
Alerts, incidents and assessments keyed to identities and devices.
Accounts and regions, IAM, S3, EC2, GuardDuty, Config, Access Analyzer.
Federated roles trust the tenant IdP; native IAM users sit outside it. CloudTrail, flow logs and GuardDuty to Sentinel; CSPM and attack paths to Defender for Cloud.
Copilot, enterprise AI assistants, OAuth apps and agents, AI apps found by Defender for Cloud Apps.
Seats, SSO and consents; discovery keyed to users.
Organization policy, IAM, service accounts and keys, buckets, firewall rules, Cloud SQL, KMS, detection configuration; Gemini and Vertex AI APIs, API keys and AI platform roles.
IAM members matched by email on the organization's domains; external bindings reported. Federation pools not yet read.
One calculus for every plane: impact (catalog severity) × exposure (what was observed) × extent (count over population). Determination Map, Security Summary and findings workbooks; every number traces to an assessor record.
Measures two assessors share are compared and a difference is explained, never averaged. Cross-plane joins: Conditional Access exclusions against privileged holders; dormancy on both planes.
Forest and domain controllers, privileged groups, delegation, AD CS templates, the sync bridge to Entra.
Roles and PIM, Conditional Access, apps and consents, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams and Purview, Copilot seats and content reach.
Subscriptions, RBAC, resources, diagnostics, Key Vault, backup, Defender for Cloud assessments and attack paths.
Accounts and regions, IAM, S3, EC2, GuardDuty, Config and Access Analyzer.
Copilot, enterprise AI assistants, OAuth apps and agents, and the AI apps Defender for Cloud Apps discovers.
Organization policy, IAM, service accounts and keys, buckets, firewall rules, Cloud SQL, KMS and detection configuration; the Gemini and Vertex AI surface: APIs, API keys and AI platform roles.
