Documenting Office365 Configuration set for Tenant
- The reports at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reports-in-the-Office-365-Security-Compliance-Center-7acd33ce-1ec8-49fb-b625-43bac7b58c5a and at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/View-and-download-reports-about-service-usage-in-Office-365-30E5558F-D3C0-4A3B-A0D5-58FC7750C0AD?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US should help you get started.
Screen shots are also very helpful, but have limited lifetime because the screens are changed by MS.
Given that MS changes the APIs without notice you will never be able to fully define a comprehensive detailed baseline. You need to determine which settings truly matter to your org and then you can use the reports above to audit any changes.
Hi folks - this is something I've been looking at too.
Scenario: an administrator makes a change to the Sharing outside your organisation setting, within the Sharing settings screen in the SharePoint admin center. I need to be able to determine the change that was made; if possible the previously configured state or value, and of course when.
Ideally, I'd like to document a baseline configuration and then gather activities from the audit log (either from Office 365 Security and Compliance, or though PowerShell remote session to Office 365 Admin API). Of course, what's not ideal, is that somebody has to manually click through the admin center once a month to determine if the current state matches the baseline.
How does one query the audit log for the setting mentioned in the above scenario?
Is there a better approach altogether that I'm missing?
Would love to know if you have solved this. I have been struggling with this for several weeks myself.
- I'm afraid I never did really crack this one.
There was a certain degree that just had to be accepted, without being documents - and the risks mitigated accordingly.
Keen to see what options you may find :-)
