Introduction
- To help safeguard partners and customers, Microsoft is introducing a set of mandatory security requirements for partners.
- By August 1, 2019 these partners are required to take following actions:
- Enable multi-factor authentication for all users in partner tenants
- All users in partner tenants must use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when signing into Microsoft commercial cloud services or transacting in CSP through Partner Center or via APIs.
- Adopt the Secure Application Model framework
- All partners integrating with a Microsoft API such as Azure Resource Manager, Microsoft Graph, and the Partner Center API must adopt the Secure Application Model framework to avoid any disruption to their integration when the baseline policies are enabled.
