Edit Standards

Apply pre-defined standards to your Microsoft 365 CSP tenants.

Overview

The Edit Standards page is where you manage and customize pre-defined standards. It allows you to configure reporting, apply settings, and tailor standards to meet the needs of specific tenants.

Standards aren’t applied by default after initial setup. Admins must configure and enable them manually. For first-time setup, refer to the Implementation Guide.


Key Features

  1. Actionable Options

    • Report: Log the current configuration in a Best Practices Report.

    • Alert: Notify admins of changes through tickets, emails, or webhooks.

    • Remediate: Automatically enforce the desired configuration.

    • Disabling Remediate stops enforcement but does not revert previously applied changes.

  2. Customizing Standards

    • Input fields or dropdowns are available for tailoring settings to specific requirements.

    • Use categories (e.g., Security, Compliance, Usability) to quickly find relevant standards.

  3. Running Standards

    • Use the Run Now button to apply standards immediately.

    • Options include applying standards to:

      • A single tenant.

      • All tenants in your environment.

  4. Template Reapplication

    • Templates reapply every three hours to maintain consistent configurations.

    • If changes are made by admins, they will automatically revert to match the template.

    • Templates simplify updates by allowing a single change to propagate across all linked tenants.

  5. Excluding Tenants

    • Exclude a tenant from All Tenants standards to prevent global enforcement.

    • This allows for custom configurations specific to that tenant.
