Getting Started

Installation

Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe

This mod also requires Steampipe with the Microsoft 365 plugin and Azuread plugin as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/steampipe
steampipe plugin install microsoft365
steampipe plugin install azuread

Steampipe will automatically use your default Microsoft 365 and Azuread credentials. Optionally, you can setup multiple tenants for Azuread or customize Azure AD credentials or customize Microsoft 365 credentials.

Finally, install the mod:

mkdir dashboards
cd dashboards
powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-office365-compliance

Browsing Dashboards

Start Steampipe as the data source:

steampipe service start

Start the dashboard server:

powerpipe server

Browse and view your dashboards at http://localhost:9033.

Running Checks in Your Terminal

Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your terminal with the powerpipe benchmark command:

List available benchmarks:

powerpipe benchmark list

Run a benchmark:

powerpipe benchmark run microsoft365_compliance.benchmark.cis_v300_1_1

Different output formats are also available, for more information please see Output Formats.

Common and Tag Dimensions

The benchmark queries use common properties (like connection_name and tenant_id) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in the variables.sp file. These properties can be overwritten in several ways:

It's easiest to setup your vars file, starting with the sample:

cp powerpipe.ppvars.example powerpipe.ppvars
vi powerpipe.ppvars

Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:

powerpipe benchmark run microsoft365_compliance.benchmark.cis_v300_1_1 --var 'common_dimensions=["connection_name", "tenant_id"]'

Or through environment variables:

export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["connection_name", "tenant_id"]'
export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["Department", "Environment"]'
powerpipe benchmark run microsoft365_compliance.benchmark.cis_v300_1_1
