How to govern Security in Intune
A step-by-step guide to governing Security in Intune with Rencore: detect, review by owner and severity, and remediate with an audit trail.
Governing Security 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 Security.
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 Security in 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.
Intune controls for Security
Grounded in the Rencore catalog. See the full Intune catalog on the Intune connector page.
-
Device is registered and reachable
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
Severity: Medium -
Non-compliant Intune device
Detects devices that are in a noncompliant compliance state
Severity: High -
Intune device without encryption
Detects devices that do not have storage encryption enabled
Severity: High -
Shadow AI: AI desktop app detected
Detects AI desktop applications installed on managed devices
Severity: Low -
Shadow AI: Widespread AI app adoption
Detects AI applications installed on more than 10 managed devices
Severity: Medium -
Shadow AI: Agentic AI CLI detected
Detects unmanaged local agentic AI CLIs and coding agents (OpenClaw, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Aider, Cline, etc.) on managed devices
