        WhatItMeans  = 'Counts enforced Conditional Access policies that scope conditions.clientApplications (workload-identity targeting) rather than only interactive user sign-ins. This is an INFO-severity, non-scored practitioner awareness note - it cannot determine whether the tenant''s specific service principals actually warrant such a policy, only whether one exists at all.'

        WhyItMatters = 'Workload identities (service principals, especially ones holding privileged Graph permissions) are increasingly targeted the same way user accounts are, but most tenants apply Conditional Access to users only. This is a judgment call, not an automatable pass/fail - the finding exists so the gap is not silently absent from the catalog, per the research entry''s own "an idea still needs a paper trail" rule.'

        Remediation  = @(

            'Inventory service principals holding privileged Microsoft Graph application permissions (e.g. Application.ReadWrite.All, RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory).'

            'For any that warrant it, create a Conditional Access policy scoping Workload identities > conditions.clientApplications to that service principal, requiring a compliant network location or certificate-based authentication.'

            'Confirm Entra ID Workload ID Premium licensing before relying on this control - Conditional Access for workload identities requires it to actually enforce.'
