Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise security baseline by default?

Stupid or simple question - i couldnt find an answer.

 

Given i use config.office.com to deploy (user) policies to M365 Apps for Enterprise. 

I see 132 security baseline policies. I read "microsoft recommended security baseline" and "if you disable or _not_ configure" the xyz secure setting is active.

 

That means:

Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise are by default using the settings of the security baseline if I configure nothing?

Here the security baseline policies purpose would be to set policies to the less secure setting - in case needed?

 

best regards

  • Most (if not all) of the time, when the description says the default behavior is equivalent to what the baseline would configure, without enforcing the baseline the user can choose a less-secure configuration. The baseline ensures that the secure choice is not overridden by a user.
