About this reference article
Each security baseline is a group of preconfigured Windows settings that help you apply and enforce granular security settings that the relevant security teams recommend. You can also customize each baseline you deploy to enforce only those settings and values you require. When you create a security baseline profile in Intune, you're creating a template that consists of multiple device configuration settings.
The details that display in this article are based on baseline version you select at the top of the article. For each version, this article displays:
- A list of each setting with its configuration as found in the default instance of that baseline version.
- When available, a link to the underlying configuration service provider (CSP) documentation or other related content from the relevant product group that provides context and possibly additional details for a settings use.
When a new version of a baseline becomes available, it replaces the previous version. Profile instances that were created before the availability of a new version:
- Become read-only. You can continue to use those profiles but can't edit them to change their configuration.
- Can be updated to the current version. After you update a profile to the current baseline version, you can edit the profile to modify settings.
