Risk ReasoningFrom threat to residual position
Preview

The inherent risk is High. Conditional Access and PIM reduce likelihood, but the MFA exclusion of break-glass accounts (MFA-004) and an open API vulnerability (VUL-014) prevent a Low residual. VERIDION proposes Medium residual, pending Risk Owner acceptance.
