The left side of the Baseline Details Page displays summary information about the Baseline, including:

The Rules Table

Snippet: Rules Metadata

The right side of the page displays a table with the status of the individual Rules for the Baseline and several pieces of metadata. 

This metadata provides context for each of the individual rules by letting you know what we're basing it on and why it exists. You can also use this information to make deployment easier by prioritizing and/or organizing your work. For example, you might decide to take care of all of the None/Low User Impact areas first, focus your work by Service/Product to keep all of your work inside the same tool, or fully cover the security Category you care about the most.

Unless you filter the table or explicitly show/hide columns, the metadata displayed includes:

  • Status: The status of the individual rule (i.e., Failed, Error, Pending, Passed).
  • Rule: The full name of the individual rule, as specified in the Security Essential baseline.
  • Notification: A green checkmark appears if a notification is configured for the individual rule. See Manage Notifications for Rules for more information.
  • Minimum License: The minimum license required for the rule to apply / to be assessed against (e.g., Business Basic).
  • User Impact: A general measure of the disruption an end user might experience when implementing a rule. (i.e., None, Low, Med, High). A High impact rule is likely to disrupt an end user's workflow, and you'll likely want to have a conversation with your client before you implement it. A good example of this is MFA: if MFA wasn't enabled before but now it's required, end-users will be forced to set up MFA.
  • Category: The security category that aligns with the Microsoft Secure Score. This information gives you a rough idea of what the rule was designed to protect, and can give you a sense of how you're doing across each of the important areas (i.e., Identity, Apps, Endpoints, Data).
  • Product: The Microsoft product the individual rule covers (i.e., Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, etc.)
  • Framework: The abbreviated name(s) and Control Numbers/IDs for the individual rule (i.e., CIS, CIS MS 365, NIST CSF, etc.), in case you want to look up more details about it. 

Tip: By default, Syncro sorts rules alphabetically. 

View Details About Individual Rules

Snippet: View Rule Details

You can view details about Baseline Rules from both the Baseline Details Page and the Compliance Details Page.

To view details about a particular Rule, simply select a row in the Rules list. A “Rule Details” panel slides over the summary to show you more detailed information about the selected Rule: 

The following collapsible/expandable sections appear:

  • Compliance: Currently, the only option is the Rule is Required toggle (not editable). When opened from the Compliance Details Page, you'll also see Status and Last Audit information:
  • Auto Response: Currently, the only option is the Notification toggle. When toggled On, you'll receive Notifications when attached Syncro Tenants violate the selected Rule. (This matches the Notification column on the right side.) See Manage Notifications for Rules for more information.
  • Details: Includes a high-level description of the Rule, the Minimum License, its User Impact, Category, Product, and associated Framework as previously described. It also provides links to any official Microsoft documentation or supporting Resources.
  • Remediation Instructions: Step-by-step instructions about how to bring the Syncro Tenant back into compliance when it fails the Rule. For Rules with a “Passed” status, this section is automatically collapsed.

To close the “Rules Details” side panel, either click the X in the upper right, or click anywhere outside of it.
