Tenable Audits Being Retired

Summary

With the release of alternative guidance by CIS, DISA and product vendors or the End of Life (EOL) for some products, a number of Tenable audits are being retired. Where applicable, a suggested replacement audit has been noted.

The retirement of the Office 365 Best Practice Audit removes the last audit using the Office 365 compliance plugin. Better functionality and authentication options are available via the Microsoft Azure Compliance Plugin and going forward all Microsoft 365 audit content should use that plugin. Customers that rely on custom audits using the Office 365 plugin should update those audits to use the Azure plugin.
