MicrosoftCan I use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for CIS benchmark assessment
Hello Huaye,
If your servers are already on Azure Arc with MDC P2 enabled go through the Unified Security Operations portal, Endpoints > Vulnerability management > Baseline assessments > Profiles and here click Create.
Here, you can choose the CIS version required.
And following you can choose specific configurations and also specific devices groups per tags.
Let me know if this helped.

Yes, you can use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint as part of a broader CIS benchmark assessment, but it’s important to note that it's not a dedicated CIS benchmarking tool on its own. It can help identify misconfigurations, compliance gaps, and security recommendations that align with CIS controls—especially through Secure Score and threat analytics. For a full CIS benchmark assessment, though, you might want to integrate it with tools like Microsoft Defender for Cloud or third-party solutions that are specifically designed for CIS compliance.
