I'm currently working on a multi-factor authentication proof of concept that involves using Windows Hello or a Windows PIN. To validate our proposed solution, I need to connect a test laptop to a regression domain controller. What cybersecurity processes or approvals should I follow to ensure everything is secure?

For testing a laptop with Windows Hello and PIN, it's important to treat this as a controlled security activity rather than a normal user task. You'll need to ensure there are proper checks and possibly get approvals from your security team before connecting it to the regression domain controller. It's best to have a clear security protocol in place to define what checks are necessary before you proceed.

Definitely confirm what your organization's policy is on this. Normally, you'll want to involve your InfoSec team to review the setup, and any testing should ideally happen in a sandbox environment that minimizes risk. Make sure you have all necessary documentation and approvals in place before you start.
