Yes, the provided solution meets the goal.

In Azure Security Center, a policy initiative is a collection of policy definitions that are grouped together to address a specific security goal. Policy assignments are used to apply the policies to specific Azure resources or resource groups.

By creating a policy initiative and assignments that are scoped to resource groups, the policies can be applied to all resources within those resource groups across all three subscriptions. This approach enables you to manage security across multiple subscriptions more efficiently and ensures consistent policy enforcement across your Azure environment.

In summary, creating a policy initiative and assignments scoped to resource groups allows you to deploy policy definitions as a group to all three subscriptions, thus meeting the stated goal.
