How to govern Intune
A step-by-step guide to governing Intune with Rencore: detect with 23 policies, review with 24 reports, and remediate with 5 automations.
Governing Intune means keeping its access, configuration, and lifecycle under continuous control rather than reacting after something breaks. Rencore governs Intune with 23 pre-built policies, 24 reports, and 5 automations, so teams can detect risk, review posture, and remediate with an audit trail. The steps below turn that coverage into a repeatable routine.
Steps
-
Inventory Intune
Connect Intune and let Rencore build a continuous inventory of its resources, owners, and configuration, so governance starts from what exists rather than a stale export.
-
Detect with policies
Turn on the pre-built policies that cover Intune to surface oversharing, sprawl, and misconfiguration on the first scan, before writing a single custom rule.
-
Review by owner and severity
Use the Intune reports to review findings by owner, category, and severity, and to share them with stakeholders who do not have a seat in the platform.
-
Remediate and automate
Apply automations to fix findings at scale, route sensitive changes through approvals, and keep every action reversible and logged for the audit trail.
Recommended Intune policies
Grounded in the Rencore catalog. See the full Intune catalog on the Intune connector page.
-

Registered devices are live, reachable endpoints, raising the likelihood that any weakness is exploited
Severity: Medium -
Device is personally owned (BYOD)
Personally-owned devices sit outside full corporate control, raising the likelihood that corporate data is exposed
Severity: Medium -
App is an AI data-egress channel
AI desktop apps are active external data-egress channels, raising the likelihood of a data-leak incident
