How to produce DORA audit evidence in Microsoft 365
Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen
Inventory Microsoft 365 and Power Platform assets, assign owners, review access and retain dated evidence for DORA audits.
TL;DR
DORA treats Microsoft 365 workspaces, Power Apps, Power Automate flows and Copilot Studio agents as ICT assets. Map DORA duties to controls, inventory each asset with its owner and dependencies, monitor policy drift, review access on a fixed cycle and package dated records for supervisors.

Governance takeaway
- Makers: Record ownership, activity and reachable data for every app, flow and agent because business-built assets can otherwise remain outside the ICT register.
- Admins/CoE: Maintain a current cross-service inventory, baseline policies and scheduled access reviews so ownerless or over-permissioned assets are identified between audits.
- Security/Compliance: Retain dated control maps, review decisions, policy results and Microsoft Purview audit records because screenshots cannot prove what happened over time.
- Leadership/Business: Assign accountable owners for DORA controls and ensure evidence is produced during normal operations, reducing reconstruction work under audit pressure.
Frequently asked questions
Are Copilot Studio agents and Power Automate flows ICT assets under DORA?
Yes. Agents and flows run in the tenant, access business data and act on it, so they require identification, ownership and dependencies in the asset register.
How should Microsoft 365 teams review access for DORA evidence?
Owners should confirm access to workspaces, apps and agents on a fixed schedule, remove unconfirmed access and retain the review records.
What records prove Microsoft 365 DORA controls over time?
A control map, asset inventory, ownership and access reviews, policy trends and retained audit records show what existed, who was accountable and what changed.
