About the session

MSPs managing Microsoft 365 often struggle with inconsistent baseline configurations across tenants, especially when critical settings are scattered across multiple admin centers. In this session, you’ll learn how to overcome these challenges by standardizing and automating Microsoft 365 security baselines across every tenant you manage. We’ll explore how to streamline new-tenant deployment and ensure consistent alignment with frameworks like CIS, NIST, and Huntress recommendations.

You’ll also discover strategies for applying scalable, repeatable policies across both cloud and physical endpoints—without configuration drift. By the end, you’ll be equipped with practical methods and tools to bring clarity, control, and efficiency to both GCCH and commercial tenants.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• How to define solution baselines, simplifying initial deployments and maintaining consistent policy states across all tenants.
• Steps to build solution baselines for Defender for Endpoint, Intune, SharePoint, Teams, and more to promote tenant standardization.
• How to leverage industry-standard CIS Level 1 Benchmarks for Windows solution baselines.
• How the preconfigured CIS Benchmark security and compliance policy settings map to NIST cybersecurity controls.
• How to apply Huntress approved baseline settings across tenants.
• How to enforce uniform policies across all tenants, reducing configuration drift and ensuring baseline security compliance.

Plus, you’ll get a Microsoft voucher for the MD-102 Exam: Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate.
