Critical Immediate remediation required for high-impact exposure

High Resolve within days to reduce risk

Medium Plan a resolution in the next sprint

Low Track and fix during regular maintenance

Error Handling

Error Message Remediation

Authentication required "Please login" Run az login and retry

Access denied "Forbidden" Confirm permissions and fix role assignments

Missing resource "Not found" Verify subscription and resource group selection

• Run compliance scans on a regular schedule (weekly or monthly)

• Track findings over time and verify remediation effectiveness

• Separate compliance reporting from remediation execution

• Keep Key Vault expiration policies documented and enforced
