Make device trust measurable
Compliance policies check operating system, encryption, password, jailbreak/root and other signals.
Intune Compliance & Conditional Access
Understand Intune compliance and Conditional Access hands-on
Compliance policies in Intune and Conditional Access in Microsoft Entra belong together: devices report their state, access rules decide what apps, data and risks are allowed. This page shows how to learn the topic in a structured and safe way.
Why this topic matters
Control access precisely
Conditional Access uses compliance signals to allow access, block it or require additional controls such as MFA.
Test changes safely
Report-only mode, test groups and break-glass accounts help prevent new rules from locking out production users.
What you should practise hands-on
- Compliance policies for Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS and Android
- Assignments with groups, filters and exclusions
- Identify and evaluate non-compliant devices
- Combine Conditional Access rules with device compliance
- Evaluate report-only mode before enabling rules
- Protect break-glass accounts and administrative access
- Avoid common mistakes with pilot groups, MFA and platform conditions
- Troubleshoot with sign-in logs, device status and policy reports
