Microsoft Intune: Device Compliance Policy

Device Compliance Policies

Overview

Compliance policies allow Intune to mark devices as non-compliant when certain settings are incorrect.

Before the device is marked as non-compliant, we have an intermediate status called “grace period” which allows you to update the IOS or one of the settings below in a determined period and continue using the device until the grace period ends. Email notifications will be send to the user according of the needed recurrence.

For this example, I have created 4 compliance policies. These policies are configured at: - Intune Console > Device Compliance > Policies

|Type|Settings|Configured?|Policy Name|Actions|Include| |–|–|–|–|–|–| System Security | Require a password to unlock mobile devices |Require|iOS_Compliance_Default|1.
