Microsoft Intune Device Compliance: What It Is and How to Configure It

Microsoft Intune Device Compliance is a feature in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager that ensures enrolled devices meet organizational security requirements. It assesses whether devices comply with predefined policies and reports their compliance status, which can influence their access to resources like email, applications, and corporate data.

Key Features of Intune Device Compliance:

1. Compliance Policies: Define the security requirements for devices, such as:
   • Minimum/maximum operating system versions.
   • Mandatory password requirements.
   • Encryption settings.
   • Jailbroken or rooted device detection.
2. Integration with Conditional Access: Enforces compliance by restricting access to corporate resources for non-compliant devices.
3. Device Compliance Reports: Provides administrators with insights into device compliance statuses.
4. Custom Compliance Policies: Tailored policies using Azure Logic Apps or scripts for specific organizational needs.
5. Compliance Actions for Noncompliance: Automates responses, such as notifying the user, locking the device, or wiping corporate data.
