## Microsoft 365 security defaults and Intune enrollment

Organisations with Microsoft 365 premium or enterprise licencing should at a minimum undertake the following basics:

- Enable security defaults in Azure Active Directory. Microsoft has published [guidance on enabling Security defaults](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults#enabling-security-defaults).
- Enrol your compatible devices in Intune. Microsoft has published guidance on [enrolling Windows devices in Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/windows-enrollment-methods).

## Essential Eight Implementation

The [ASD's Blueprint for Secure Cloud](https://blueprint.asd.gov.au/) is being regularly updated, and has in depth process implementation guidance aligned to this technical reference.
The [ASD's Blueprint for Secure Cloud (process focused)](https://blueprint.asd.gov.au/) and [Microsoft Compliance - ACSC Essential Eight (technical focus)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/essential-eight/e8-overview) are being regularly updated, and have in depth guidance aligned to this technical reference.

The defaults above subsequently enable straightforward implementation of the [ACSCs Essential Eight](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/essential-eight) Microsoft 365 [Cloud Security Guides](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/small-business-cyber-security/small-business-cloud-security-guides). The indented links reference security platforms and tools that have been seen to simplify establishment and monitoring of controls as per the [ACSC Essential Eight Process Guide](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/essential-eight/essential-eight-assessment-process-guide) and introduce low [Supply Chain Risk](../guidelines/supply-chain-risk-mgmt.md) (where possible [Certified Service Providers](https://www.hostingcertification.gov.au/certified-service-providers) tooling has been referenced).
Small entities should also review the [ACSCs Essential Eight](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/essential-eight) Microsoft 365 [Cloud Security Guides](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/small-business-cyber-security/small-business-cloud-security-guides).
