OktaOverview
This control looks for password policies that do not require at least a length of 14 characters, one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one numeric character, one symbol, and that allows password reuse.
Remediation guidance
Go to the Authenticators page and Edit the Password authenticator.
Service-wide remediation
Recommended when many resources are affected: fix the platform baseline first so new resources inherit the secure setting, then remediate the existing flagged resources in batches.
Okta
Use tenant-wide sign-on policies, MFA policies, admin-role governance, and identity lifecycle automation so the control is enforced centrally.
Operational rollout
- Fix the baseline first at the account, subscription, project, cluster, or tenant scope that owns this control.
- Remediate the currently affected resources in batches, starting with internet-exposed and production assets.
- Re-scan and track approved exceptions with an owner and expiry date.
Query logic
