Integrating Intune device compliance policies with Conditional Access enforces that only healthy and managed devices can access corporate resources.

Microsoft Intune plays a pivotal role in enabling Conditional Access policies that govern device health. Through Intune, organizations can define device compliance policies that specify security requirements for mobile devices and desktops, such as requiring encryption, a passcode, an up-to-date operating system, or the presence of antivirus software. These policies assess the 'health' and management status of a device. When a Conditional Access policy is configured to 'Require device to be marked as compliant,' it leverages the compliance state reported by Intune. If a device fails to meet the defined compliance standards, Conditional Access will block access to protected resources, regardless of the user's identity or MFA status. This creates a powerful symbiotic relationship where Intune ensures device trustworthiness, and Conditional Access enforces its impact on resource access, embodying a key tenet of Zero Trust: 'Never trust, always verify.'
