Test-MtCaUntargetedPolicy

SYNOPSIS

Checks if any Conditional Access policy is not targeted to any resource.

SYNTAX

Test-MtCaUntargetedPolicy [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Neither the Entra admin center nor Microsoft Graph require a Conditional Access policy to target at least one resource (cloud apps, user actions, or authentication context). Such a policy is accepted, can be enabled, and appears like any other policy - but it applies to nothing and enforces nothing. This check also recognizes apps targeted dynamically through a custom security attribute filter, so it doesn't flag policies that are legitimately scoped that way.

This gives a false sense of security: the policy looks like active protection, but has no effect.
