WARNING
-------

The Intune policies provided should be evaluated in a representative test environment before implementation within production environments. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these MEM policies for all potential enterprise and software configurations. For most environments, failure to test before implementation may lead to a loss of required functionality.


INTRODUCTION
------------

This package contains JSON backup exports. It is to provide enterprise administrators the supporting Intune policies and related files to aid them in the deployment of Intune within their enterprise to meet STIG settings. Administrators are expected to fully test policies in test environments prior to live production deployments.

Administrators can locate the documented STIG compliance in corresponding STIG Checklist file contained within the DISA STIG GPO Package (Support Files\Checklist Files). The checklist file provides where the appropriate device configuration profile setting is located (e.g., Endpoint Security baseline, Administrative template, Custom profile, or Endpoint protection).


MAINTENANCE
-----------

This package will be updated with each quarterly release of STIG updates. If a targeted STIG within package is released out of cycle, the package will be updated accordingly. If a new STIG is targeted to provide a supporting policy, the package will be updated to include JSON backup.

The initial release of DISA Intune STIG Package is targeted for Windows 10/11 systems. Mobile device management is out of scope at this time. Administrators may find iOS, macOS, and Android device configuration profiles within the corresponding STIG downloads on cyber.mil.


USAGE
-----

This package is to be used to assist administrators in implementing STIG settings within their environment. The administrator must fully test policies in test environments prior to live production deployments. The policies provided contain most applicable and restrictive STIG settings contained in STIG files. 

The Microsoft 365 Administrative Template profile will apply to all Microsoft Office 2016, Microsoft Office 2019, and M365 Apps.

In a Co-management environment, administrators must configure the appropriate workload to apply Intune policies. This package is not intended to be a deployment guide for administrators.

January 2023
------------
Inclusion of Settings Catalog profiles. The settings catalog are intended to support environments in co-management and not all workloads are migrated. The settings catalog are a near "all-inclusive" configuration of Windows STIG requirements. In environments where the MS Security baselines are being used, there is no need to migrate to catalog settings as existing MS Security Baseline profile layered with the appropriate device configuration administrative template, endpoint security, and custom profile will achieve STIG compliance.

Added device configuration profiles Edge, Chrome, and Firefox for macOS to meet STIG requirements.

Added PowerShell scripts to assist in completing configurations to meet STIG requirements where no configuration item is available with native tools.

Third-party administrative template profiles will require import of the ADMX files. The ADMX files can be located under the ADMX Template directory in root of STIG Baseline (ADMX Templates). Administrative template profiles are intended to phase out the need for custom OMA-URI profiles.

March 2024
----------
Removed Endpoint Security Microsoft Security Baseline profiles, Windows 10/11 Custom Profiles, and Administrative Template Profiles in favor of leveraging Setting Catalog Profiles for endpoint configurations. 

Setting Catalog Profiles allows for all settings for the operating system or targeted application to be contained in a single profile versus in multiple profiles to meet STIG requirements.

The Microsoft Edge macOS Settings Catalog does NOT meet all STIG requirements. Several settings are not available for configuration. Administrators are encouraged to use the Microsoft Edge macOS Preference File profile to meet all STIG requirements. Administrators may be required to modify Proxy Server and extension configurations to meet organizations operational requirements. The plist files are provided under the Support Files\macOS directory.

September 2024
--------------
Added DSC STIG Configurations under Support Files\Windows. DSC STIG Configurations intunewin application closes the gaps for STIG compliance where settings are not available in Intune.

Added PowerShell Scripts under Support Files\Windows. Remove-Windows-Apps.ps1 is intended to assist administrators in removal of many built-in Windows appx packages.

Added Custom Compliance Policy under Support Files\Windows. This is a sample of a custom compliance script for all STIG CAT 1 items. Administrators are encouraged NOT to use "as is" as many environments relax STIG requirements for operational needs. Implementing "as is" may result in devices reporting Not Compliant and prevent access based on operation Conditional Access policies.

Added Android Managed Device Google Chrome STIG v2r10 App Configuration Policy. The app configuration policy does NOT meet all required STIG settings. Many settings are not available. Additional app configuration policy to be added in later releases.

Added Custom Policy import PowerShell scripts under Support Files\Windows\PowerShell Scripts\CustomPolicyImport.

Deprecated settings ChromeCleanupEnabled, ChromeCleanupReportingEnabled, and SSLVersionMin have been removed from DoD Google Chrome STIG v2r10 Settings Catalog policy. The Google Chrome STIG may retain the setting requirements for these settings. If administrators wish to configure settings, they must complete a manual action to configure endpoints.

Deprecated setting SSLVersionMin has been removed from DoD Microsoft Edge STIG v2r2 Settings Catalog policy. The Microsoft Edge STIG may retain the setting requirement for this setting. If administrators wish to configure setting, they must complete a manual action to configure endpoints.

Intune Policy Baseline contains remediation scripts to detect and configure DTBC-0075, DTBC-0076, and DTBC-0077, and DTBC-0078, and DTBC-0079, and DTBC-0080. The remediation scripts are located under Jul25 DISA STIG Intune Policy Package 0701\Support Files\Windows\PowerShell Scripts\GoogleChromeGenerativeAIConfig directory.

Nov 2025
--------------
Restored missing intunewin file for DSC install.
Pulled Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) settings from DoD Microsoft Defender Antivirus STIG v2r6 Computer Settings Catalog. Attack Surface Reduction settings provided in settings catalog policy DoD Microsoft Defender Antivirus STIG v2r6 Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) Settings Catalog and DoD Microsoft Defender Antivirus STIG v2r6 Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) Endpoint Security Policy. ASR policies are same configuration just different profile types. Either can be used in conjunction with DoD Microsoft Defender Antivirus STIG v2r6 Computer Settings Catalog to meet STIG requirements.

Jan 2026
