You can audit Azure subscriptions for security misconfigurations by running Azure Quick Review (azqr) scans, which evaluate resources against best practices and categorize findings into priority-driven remediation guidance.

You can check Azure Key Vault for expiring items by performing a list and get inspection to validate the expiresOn field, proactively identifying expired or soon-to-expire keys, secrets, and certificates to prevent authentication outages.

Yes, Azure CLI authentication is required to run compliance scans and Key Vault expiration checks. It enables secure access to your subscriptions and resource groups for evaluating security posture and retrieving expiresOn validation data.

The best way to prepare for an Azure security review is to scan your subscription and resource groups with azqr for best-practice assessments, then audit Key Vault to surface expired certificates and secrets that could break authentication flows.

You can validate Azure Policy compliance and governance patterns by running Azure Quick Review scans across resource groups, which produces actionable findings organized into critical, high, medium, and low priority buckets for security posture improvement.

Azure compliance scans report Key Vault items with missing expiration dates as risky because without an expiresOn field, proactive rotation fails, potentially leading to unexpected outages and unmanaged security vulnerabilities.
