SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Organizations often collect endpoint health signals but never enforce them, allowing non-compliant or compromised devices to access corporate resources. This Skill guides the implementation of device posture assessment as a zero trust access control, gating resource access on real-time endpoint compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compliance Baseline Definition: Create Intune and Jamf device compliance policies covering encryption, OS version, Secure Boot, TPM, and EDR status.
  • Posture Signal Integration: Connect CrowdStrike ZTA scores and MDM compliance state into Entra ID Conditional Access or Okta Device Trust policies.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Detect posture drift such as disabled encryption, stopped EDR sensors, or stale sync data, and block non-compliant devices.
  • Use Case: A healthcare company with 2,000 Windows and macOS endpoints enforces HIPAA-aligned device posture before granting access to patient data systems, blocking devices with ZTA scores below defined thresholds.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to create an Entra ID Conditional Access policy that requires Intune-compliant devices and a minimum CrowdStrike ZTA score before allowing access to corporate applications.

Frequently Asked Questions about implementing-device-posture-assessment-in-zero-trust

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce device compliance in zero trust conditional access?▼

Define compliance policies in Intune or Jamf covering encryption, OS version, and EDR status, then create Entra ID Conditional Access policies with the compliantDevice grant control. Verify enforcement by testing with a deliberately non-compliant device and confirming it is blocked.

How to integrate CrowdStrike ZTA scores with Okta device trust?▼

Create an Okta device assurance policy that includes CrowdStrike as a third-party signal provider, requiring the Falcon agent to be running. Then reference that assurance policy in an Okta access policy rule that denies unmanaged or non-compliant devices.

What is a good CrowdStrike ZTA score threshold for access control?▼

The Skill defines tiered thresholds: ZTA >= 50 for basic access, >= 65 for standard, >= 80 for sensitive, and >= 90 for critical resources. Avoid thresholds set too low, such as 30, which effectively never deny access.

Why are non-compliant devices still getting access despite posture policies?▼

Common causes include Conditional Access policies left in report-only mode, open-ended grace periods, stale posture data treated as current, and BYOD browser paths that bypass posture checks. Test with a non-compliant device and confirm denials appear in Entra sign-in logs or Okta System Log.

When should device posture assessment not be used?▼

Do not use it for IoT or headless devices that cannot run posture agents, as a standalone control without identity verification, or when real-time posture data is unavailable and stale compliance data would create false trust.
