From a posting by CISA on 12.24.20:
CISA has created a free tool for detecting unusual and potentially malicious activity that threatens users and applications in an Azure/Microsoft O365 environment. The tool is intended for use by incident responders and is narrowly focused on activity that is endemic to the recent identity- and authentication-based attacks seen in multiple sectors.
CISA strongly encourages users and administrators to visit the following GitHub page for additional information and detection countermeasures.

The tool is PowerShell script called “Sparrow” created by CISA’s Cloud Forensics team to help detect possible compromised accounts and applications in the Azure/m365 environment.
Sparrow.ps1 will check and install the required PowerShell modules on the analysis machine, check the unified audit log in Azure/M365 for certain indicators of compromise (IoC’s), list Azure AD domains, and check Azure service principals and their Microsoft Graph API permissions to identify potential malicious activity. The tool then outputs the data into multiple CSV files in a default directory. Looks like it requires the CloudConnect, AzureAD and MSOnline PowerShell modules.
