Security baselines

Security baselines are preconfigured groups of Windows settings that help you apply the security settings that are recommended by the relevant security teams. The baselines you deploy can be customized to enforce only the settings and values required by you.

There are multiple security-related settings in Windows as well as for Microsoft Edge for your endpoints. Another great asset is the option to do versioning and filtering based on different OSes or scenarios that have to be stricter. You no longer have to use GPOs to ensure the security settings on your endpoints – just create a security baseline profile and you're all set.
