Applied Standards Report

This page is hidden while the Baselines feature flag is on in Features, because Baselines replace Standards and Drift.

The Applied Standards Report shows, for a single tenant, every standard in a chosen template alongside the tenant's current configuration, so you can see at a glance which standards the tenant meets and where it falls short. Each standard is presented with the configuration the template expects and the value found in the tenant. The page is titled after the template being reported on.

Page Actions

Action	Description
Refresh Data	Reloads the comparison results and the template details.
Edit Template	Opens the template in the template editor.
Run Standard Now	Forces an immediate run of the standard rather than waiting for its schedule. You choose which tenant to run against.

Selecting a Template

A Template selector at the top of the page chooses which standards template to report on, and a search box narrows the standards shown to those matching the text entered. A Logs button opens the log entries recorded for this standard against the current tenant, covering the last seven days.

Filters

A filter menu restricts which standards are listed. Each option shows a count.

Filter	Shows
All	Every standard in the template.
Compliant	Standards where the tenant matches what the template expects.
Non-Compliant	Standards where the tenant does not match.
Overridden	Standards whose value has been overridden for this tenant.
Accepted Deviations	Standards with a deviation that has been accepted. Shown for drift templates that have accepted deviations.
Non-Compliant (License available)	Non-compliant standards that the tenant is licensed for, and which can therefore be acted on.

Standards

Standards are grouped under their category headings, each shown as a card pairing the Expected Configuration from the template with the value found in the tenant. Where a configuration has several properties, they are broken out one by one so it is clear which part differs. Each standard is marked Compliant or Non-Compliant, and where the tenant is not licensed for a standard, a notice explains that the required licences are missing rather than reporting a failure.

Where a standard's Intune, Conditional Access or reusable settings template has been deleted from the template library, the card is marked Non-Compliant and names the deleted template instead of showing the usual Expected Configuration and Current Tenant values, and says to remove it from the standards template or select the template again.

Labels on each card identify what is being shown and how the standard runs:

Label	Meaning
Standard	The configuration the standard defines.
Template	The value as set in the template.
Current Tenant	The value as found in the tenant.
Auto-Remediate	The standard corrects the tenant automatically when it does not match.
Run Manually	The standard only reports, and is applied when run by hand.

Comparing to the Baseline

Standards based on an Intune template carry a Compare button, which opens a comparison of the template baseline against the policy as it exists in the tenant.

Element	Description
Not deployed notice	Shown where the policy does not exist in the tenant at all, naming the policy that is missing.
Summary	States whether the two are identical, or how many differences were found.
Assignments differ	Shown when the standard also verifies assignments and the tenant's do not match what the standard expects, listing why. Only settings are compared above it, so this can appear even when the summary reports the two as identical.
Differences table	Lists each differing property with its Baseline and Tenant values, and whether the values differ or the setting exists on only one side.
Full settings	The complete configuration of both the baseline and the tenant policy.

Run Standard Report

A Run Standard Report option regenerates the comparison data for the selected template, refreshing the results shown on the page.

Known Issues

• There is currently a limitation with Conditional Access standards due to the complexity of the comparison the standard settings and the Conditional Access response object. We hope to resolve this in a future update.
