SOC 2 Intune evidence
SOC 2 Intune evidence can include mapped configuration findings and reports showing changes between backups. TenuVault helps assemble those records, while your auditor determines whether the evidence is sufficient for the engagement.
Which SOC 2 Intune evidence answers the request?
Agree the system boundary, applicable trust services criteria and evidence period before exporting anything. AICPA's criteria address security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Your endpoint policies are one evidence source within the wider system description and control environment.
TenuVault offers a native SOC 2 comparison. Its mapping gives a route from an observed setting to a framework reference, not a promise that an auditor will accept a particular document. Ask the auditor which control assertion the report should support and whether they need a point-in-time observation, evidence over a period or both.
What should I collect from Intune for the auditor?
Turn the auditor's request into a specific endpoint question. For example, if the organization says managed employee laptops use disk encryption, inspect the encryption profiles, assigned groups and device reporting for that population. Microsoft Intune exposes configuration reports for policy deployment status; use them to identify exceptions rather than providing only the policy definition.
For a request about malware protection or local administrator restrictions, start with the corresponding Endpoint security antivirus or account protection policies. Retain the settings relevant to the organization's stated control. Do not attach every security policy just because the request mentions SOC 2.
Agree the sample date and population with the auditor before collecting device results. A current profile screenshot cannot explain whether the same control operated throughout the requested period. Intune policy reporting is useful technical material, but the auditor still needs the system context and the records that support the particular control assertion.
How do I check SOC 2 evidence in Intune?
1. Choose SOC 2 in TenuVault Frameworks for the service organization's tenant. Read the comparison limits with the auditor's endpoint request in mind.
2. Select only the platforms covered by that request, adding Conditional Access when identity policy is part of it. Click Compare settings to collect the tenant configuration.
3. Locate the relevant capability and inspect Setting-by-setting evidence for the observed policy, value and assignment. A visible unassigned policy is not counted as a matching capability.
4. Save the SOC 2 comparison in the reviewer's preferred PDF, CSV or JSON format. Retain collection failures and the scope details so the exported finding can be interpreted without another meeting.
You can collect the native SOC 2 mapping and export its PDF, CSV or JSON in Community; the separate change-report workflow needs Pro or MSP.
How do I make the endpoint sample understandable?
Prepare a small evidence packet for each request: the scoped comparison, relevant policy targeting, device status checks and the change record for approved modifications. Change reports can add before and after values between backups. Keep approvals, access reviews and operational records beside those reports. If a setting changed and was reverted between snapshots, examine available audit activity rather than assuming the two snapshots capture every intermediate state.
Write a short cover note for the selected endpoint sample: what the organization says it does, which policy supports that statement and which device results you checked. Call out devices still pending or excluded. Avoid claiming that a green configuration match settles the whole trust services criterion.
If the auditor asks for another date or a different population, collect that material explicitly. Do not relabel a current comparison to fit an earlier period. Keep the request and response together so another administrator can reproduce the collection without reconstructing the conversation from filenames.
How do I support a request covering policy changes?
For change history on Pro or MSP, select Reports and use Choose two backups to bracket the period under discussion, then generate the report. Inspect added, changed and deleted items and the recorded before and after values. Save the document in PDF, Markdown or JSON and pair it with the team's approvals.
A configuration changed and reverted between snapshots may appear in Other activity when matching audit events are available. Explain missing actors, incomplete comparisons and retention limits to the auditor. Two matching snapshots alone cannot demonstrate uninterrupted operation of the control across the interval.
Can I test one SOC 2 request before exporting everything?
Choose one SOC 2 endpoint request and try TenuVault against that exact platform scope. Ask your auditor to review the sample packet before you repeat the collection for other controls.

Frequently asked questions
What Intune evidence will auditors accept?+
There is no universal acceptance list. Agree the scope, period, control assertion and corroborating records with your auditor before collecting the packet.
Can two backups prove a control operated throughout a period?+
No. They show observations at two times. Add monitoring, exception handling and other operational evidence appropriate to the engagement.
Does the SOC 2 comparison issue an assurance report?+
No. It produces configuration findings and exports for review. It does not perform the assurance engagement.
