The Security Compliance Toolkit (SCT) is a set of tools that allows enterprise security administrators to download, analyze, test, edit, and store Microsoft-recommended security configuration baselines for Windows and other Microsoft products. The SCT enables administrators to effectively manage their enterprise's Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Using the toolkit, administrators can compare their current GPOs with Microsoft-recommended GPO baselines or other baselines, edit them, store them in GPO backup file format, and apply them broadly through Active Directory or individually through local policy. -

The Security Compliance Toolkit consists of: -- Windows 11 security baseline - - Windows 11, version 22H2 - - Windows 11, version 21H2 -- Windows 10 security baselines - - Windows 10, version 22H2 - - Windows 10, version 21H2 - - Windows 10, version 20H2 - - Windows 10, version 1809 - - Windows 10, version 1607 - - Windows 10, version 1507 - -- Windows Server security baselines - - Windows Server 2022 - - Windows Server 2019 - - Windows Server 2016 - - Windows Server 2012 R2 - -- Microsoft Office security baseline - - Office 2016 - - Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise Version 2206 - -- Microsoft Edge security baseline - - Edge version 114 - -- Tools - - Policy Analyzer - - Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) - - Set Object Security - - GPO to Policy Rules - +- Windows 11 security baseline + - Windows 11, version 22H2 + - Windows 11, version 21H2 +- Windows 10 security baselines + - Windows 10, version 22H2 + - Windows 10, version 21H2 + - Windows 10, version 20H2 + - Windows 10, version 1809 + - Windows 10, version 1607 + - Windows 10, version 1507 +- Windows Server security baselines + - Windows Server 2022 + - Windows Server 2019 + - Windows Server 2016 + - Windows Server 2012 R2 +- Microsoft Office security baseline + - Office 2016 + - Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise Version 2206 +- Microsoft Edge security baseline + - Edge version 114 +- Tools + - Policy Analyzer + - Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) + - Set Object Security + - GPO to Policy Rules You can [download the tools](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319) along with the baselines for the relevant Windows versions.

The Policy Analyzer is a utility for analyzing and comparing sets of Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Its main features include: -- Highlight when a set of Group Policies has redundant settings or internal inconsistencies -- Highlight the differences between versions or sets of Group Policies -- Compare GPOs against current local policy and local registry settings -- Export results to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet -Policy Analyzer lets you treat a set of GPOs as a single unit. This treatment makes it easy to determine whether particular settings are duplicated across the GPOs or are set to conflicting values. Policy Analyzer also lets you capture a baseline and then compare it to a snapshot taken at a later time to identify changes anywhere across the set. +- Highlight when a set of Group Policies has redundant settings or internal inconsistencies +- Highlight the differences between versions or sets of Group Policies +- Compare GPOs against current local policy and local registry settings +- Export results to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet + +Policy Analyzer lets you treat a set of GPOs as a single unit.
