MP.JL.CISOFFINT.L1.043 Excel: Disable Trust Bar Notification for unsigned application add-ins and block them is set to Enabled

Severity: MediumGraph

Description

CIS Microsoft Intune for Office Benchmark, recommendation 2.2.4.7.2.10 (Level 1).

The test passes when an assigned settings catalog policy for Windows sets Microsoft Excel 2016 > Excel Options > Security > Trust Center > Require that application add-ins are signed by Trusted Publisher to Enabled, with Disable Trust Bar Notification for unsigned application add-ins and block them set to Enabled in the same policy, and no other assigned policy sets it to something else.

Remediation action

  1. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Devices > Configuration and open (or create) a settings catalog policy for Windows 10 and later.
  2. Add Microsoft Excel 2016 > Excel Options > Security > Trust Center > Require that application add-ins are signed by Trusted Publisher and set it to Enabled, then set Disable Trust Bar Notification for unsigned application add-ins and block them to Enabled.
  3. Assign the policy to your Windows devices, and remove any other assigned policy that sets it to something else.
