All excluded objects should have a fallback include in another policy

Descriptionโ€‹

Excluding specific users, groups, applications, or locations from a Conditional Access (CA) policy is sometimes necessary. However, doing so removes the protections of that policy for those specific items, potentially creating security vulnerabilities.

To maintain a strong security posture, every item excluded from a CA policy must be included in at least one other CA policy. This other policy serves as a "fallback," guaranteeing that no user or resource is left completely outside your conditional access controls.

How to fixโ€‹

Review policy exclusions. Create or confirm fallback policies exist to cover all excluded objects.
