a) All Users are required to implement fraud prevention and detection risk mitigation controls. This includes but not limited to the following:

• applying Multifactor Authentication: All Users are required to implement multifactor authentication (MFA). MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a phone call, text message, or mobile app notification.
• Implementing Privileged Identity Management – Azure Active Directory: All privileged accounts must be managed and monitored using PIM. Just-in-time access should be enforced, and access should be limited to the duration needed to perform the necessary tasks. Approval should be required for all access. PIM helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access or misuse of privileged accounts by requiring users to request access when they need it and by automatically revoking access when it is no longer needed.
• Implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): All users must be assigned the appropriate roles based on their job function. Users should only have access to the resources and actions that are necessary for their role. You must regularly review and update user roles to ensure that they remain appropriate. RBAC helps you enforce the principle of least privilege and reduce the attack surface by limiting user permissions to the minimum required for their tasks
• Implementing Azure Secure Score recommendations: You are required to use Azure Secure Score feature to assess and improve the security posture of your Azure environment. The minimum recommended secure score is sixty percent (60%), and Users should strive to continuously improve their score by implementing the security recommendations provided by Microsoft. Azure Secure Score helps you identify and prioritize security risks and vulnerabilities in your Azure resources and provides guidance on how to remediate them.
• Use of Virtual Private Network (VPN): (For applicable subscriptions) A VPN must be used to securely connect to Azure resources from on-premises networks. All traffic between on-premises networks and Azure resources must be encrypted. A VPN creates a secure tunnel between your network and Azure, preventing unauthorized access or interception of your data.
• Network Security Groups (NSGs) – (For applicable subscriptions): All Azure resources must be configured with NSGs to filter network traffic based on defined rules. NSGs should be used to restrict access to only authorized IP addresses and protocols.
