Prerequisites

To use Syncro’s Security Posture Management & Baselines, you’ll need to first Integrate Microsoft & Map Syncro Tenants. Then you can attach an available Baseline—such as Security Essential—to one or more Syncro Tenants.

About the Security Essential Baseline

The Security Essential Baseline is a Syncro-curated Baseline you can use to track and enforce essential Microsoft 365 security best practices in minimal-security environments. Tailored for Standard and Entry-Level subscriptions, these practical safeguards offer straightforward protection without unnecessary complexity.

Attach a Baseline to Syncro Tenants

1. Navigate to the Baselines tab/module.
2. Click the Tenants toggle to display the “Tenants” view.
3. Check one or more boxes (or click the header box) to select Syncro Tenant row(s).
4. In the upper right corner, click Attach Baseline.
