Microsoft Intune CSP for Google Chrome DISA STIG

Hey everyone, Theron (aka T-) here, Senior Consultant with Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS), deeply involved in a project to configure Intune for managing AADJ laptops with a Federal customer’s use.

Been working a lot lately with ‘hardening’ the laptops following DISA STIGs. As a result I’ve developed a few Intune CSPs and security baselines to meet STIG compliance for various technologies like Windows 10, Office, Edge, IE11, Chrome, WDAV, etc. As such, I’ll start posting the JSON files for this CSPs, which you can use to import into Intune as a starting point for your own CSPs.

The CSP related to this post is for Google Chrome meeting DISA STIG compliance for v2r2.

Full disclosure, there are about 4 settings missing at the moment, but I’ll get them in place soon and update this post. Compliance on a device is validated using DISA’s SCAP scanning tool and the Chrome v2r2 benchmark. Interesting enough, the missing settings from this JSON aren’t in the SCAP scan, so there’s that.

There are 4 finding from the SCAP scan results and they’re related to deprecated settings in Chrome:
