Define Intune Cloud Policies Deployment Strategy

There are more than two ways to define Intune Cloud policies deployment strategy using Intune. Two of them are 1. CIS Microsoft Intune for Windows Benchmark v1.0.1 and 2. Various Deployment Options for Cloud Policies.

  • Settings Catalog – The best option to create Cloud policies using Intune. Frequently updated!!
  • Security Baseline – the Microsoft product group recommended security policies (easiest way to deploy security policies).
  • Device Restriction/Custom policies – Use this security setting if the security settings you are looking for are not available in any other types of options mentioned above.

CIS Microsoft Intune for Windows Benchmark v1.0.1

I have a post that explains more about the CIS Microsoft Intune benchmark. More details – Download Intune CIS Benchmark For Windows 10 Or Windows 11.

  • Cloud Policy Implementation Process
  • Download the Benchmark PDF for free
  • Go through the recommended policies
  • Don’t use Custom Policy if the same policy is available in Intune Settings Catalog
