Baseline your Intune configuration against CIS benchmark guidance and deliver a practical hardening backlog with safe, staged remediation.
Microsoft Intune is frequently the control plane for endpoint configuration, security baselines, and compliance enforcement - so misconfiguration or inconsistent policy design can materially increase risk. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) publishes a CIS Benchmark for Microsoft Intune for Microsoft Windows, providing prescriptive secure configuration guidance developed through a community consensus process.
LW IT Solutions delivers a CIS-aligned Intune assessment designed for real-world environments. We baseline your current Intune policy posture, identify gaps against benchmark-aligned recommendations relevant to your estate, and translate them into a prioritised remediation backlog. Where you want implementation support, we deliver staged remediation with pilots, change control, and validation - so you achieve a hardened baseline without breaking productivity or device functionality.
