 Passive mode is enabled if you are enrolled in Windows Defender ATP because [the service requires common information sharing from the Windows Defender AV service](../windows-defender-atp/defender-compatibility-windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md) in order to properly monitor your devices and network for intrusion attempts and attacks. 
 
 Automatic disabled mode is enabled so that if the protection offered by a third-party antivirus product goes out of date, is not updated, or stops providing real-time protection from viruses, malware, and other threats, Windows Defender AV will automatically enable itself to ensure antivirus protection is maintained on the endpoint. It also allows you to enable [limited periodic scanning](limited-periodic-scanning-windows-defender-antivirus.md), which uses the Windows Defender AV engine to periodically check for threats in addition to your main antivirus app.

+## Customize the Windows Defender Security Center app for your organization
+
+You can add information about your organization in a contact card to the Windows Defender Security Center app. This can include a link to a support site, a phone number for a help desk, and an email address for email-based support. 
+
+![](images/security-center-custom-flyout.png)
+
+This information will also be shown in some enterprise-specific notifications (including those for [Windows Defender Exploit Guard](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/windows-defender-exploit-guard.md), the [Block at first sight feature](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/configure-block-at-first-sight-windows-defender-antivirus.md), and [potentially unwanted applications](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/detect-block-potentially-unwanted-apps-windows-defender-antivirus.md).
+
+![](images/security-center-custom-notif.png)
+
+
+Users can click on the displayed information to easily initiate a support request:
+- Clicking **Call** or the phone number will open Skype to start a call to the displayed number
+- Clicking **Email** or the email address will create a new email in the machine's default email app address to the displayed email
+- Clicking **Help portal** or the website URL will open the machine's default web browser and go to the displayed address
+
+
+### Use Group Policy to enable and customize contact information
+
+There are two stages to using the contact card and customized notifications. First, you have to enable the contact card or custom notifications (or both), and then you must specify at least a name for your organization and one piece of contact information.
+
+This can only be done in Group Policy.
+
+1.  On your Group Policy management machine, open the [Group Policy Management Console](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731212.aspx), right-click the Group Policy Object you want to configure and click **Edit**.
+
+3.  In the **Group Policy Management Editor** go to **Computer configuration**.
+
+4.  Click **Policies** then **Administrative templates**.
+
+5.  Expand the tree to **Windows components > Windows Defender Security Center > Enterprise Customization**.
+
+6.  You enable the contact card and the customized notifications by configuring two separate Group Policy settings. They will both use the same source of information (explained in Steps 7 and 8), and you can enable both or only one or the other: 
+
+    1. To enable the contact card, open the **Configure customized contact information** setting and set it to **Enabled**. Click **OK**.
+
+    2. To enable the customized notifications, open the **Configure customized notifications** setting and set it to **Enabled**. Click **OK**.
+
+7. After you've enabled the contact card or the customized notifications (or both), you must configure the **Specify contact company name** to **Enabled**. Enter your company or organization's name in the field in the **Options** section. Click **OK**.
+
+8. To ensure the custom notifications or contact card appear, you must also configure at least one of the following settings by opening them, setting them to **Enabled** and adding the contact information in the field under **Options**:
+    1. **Specify contact email address or Email ID**
+    2. **Specify contact phone number or Skype ID**
+    3. **Specify contact website**
+
+9. Click **OK** after configuring each setting to save your changes. 
+
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>You must specify the contact company name and at least one contact method - email, phone number, or website URL. If you do not specify the contact name and a contact method the customization will not apply: the contact card will not show, and notifications will not be customized.
