How to govern Operation in Intune

A step-by-step guide to governing Operation in Intune with Rencore: detect, review by owner and severity, and remediate with an audit trail.

Definition

Governing Operation in Intune means finding where it goes wrong, reviewing the findings by owner and severity, and remediating with an audit trail. Rencore covers this concern for Intune with the pre-built controls below, so it becomes a repeatable check rather than a one-off cleanup. The steps that follow apply the same detect, review, remediate loop to Operation.

Steps

  1. 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.

  2. Detect with policies

    Turn on the pre-built policies that cover Operation in Intune to surface oversharing, sprawl, and misconfiguration on the first scan, before writing a single custom rule.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
