Compliance policies

We can define the rules and settings that users and devices must meet to be compliant. This can include actions that apply to noncompliant devices. Actions for noncompliance can alert users to the conditions of noncompliance and safeguard data on noncompliant devices.

See the following example of how you can set the risk level within Microsoft Defender when your endpoint does not meet the compliance expectations. Your device will show up as a risk in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint as well as in Intune – marked as non-compliant.
