I have "CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark 1.1.0" assigned to my subscription and the policy "An activity log alert should exist for specific Policy operations" is non-compliant even though I created necessary alert rules. I noticed that the category for the necessary alert rules (allowed values in the policiy definition) is "Administrative" rather than "Policy" which is indicated in the policy rules. When I duplicate the policy and change the category into "Administrative" it becomes compliant but the built-in policy is not effected from this and the whole initiative stay non-compliant which also effects my compliance level for industry standards. What can I do to make this policy and initiative to be compliant and getting compliant with industry standards? Or should it be updated by the relevant team?
