Azure Security Benchmark v2 is now available with expanded security control assessments

Dean_Gross, SusanBradleyGeek  - The Azure Policy initiative version is an internal version number, and represents updates of policy rules made to the initiative itself.  Any time we add or remove policies from the initiative, the convention requires that we increment the 'major version' - this helps customers understand why their compliance results have changed for that initiative.

We are continuously making updates to the initiative, as policies get updated and as they become available. Therefore, there isn't any correlation between the initiative version and the ASB version.

Hope that clarifies!
