Baseline settings by framework

This page lists every setting each framework baseline sets, as shipped in Depot 0.8.0. For what a floor is and how baselines are assigned, see Compliance framework baselines.

  • The values come from the Outpost settings catalog, which is the only source the baselines and the compliance pages read. When the catalog changes in a release, the built-in baselines update with it.
  • CIS Benchmarks has no table because Outpost ships no CIS content.
  • The control column is the framework’s own identifier for the control the value supports. The full citation, including how Outpost reads the control and why it chose the value, appears in the console: on the setting’s framework badge in a profile’s Settings tab, and at the top of the control’s page under Compliance.
ColumnMeaning
SettingThe setting key, as the console shows it in profiles and on the compliance pages.
PlatformsThe operating systems the setting applies to. All means every operating system with policy enforcement: Windows, Linux, and macOS. iOS, Android means managed phones and tablets. Depot means the setting governs records Outpost keeps, not an endpoint.
FloorFor an enforced framework, the least strict value the setting can resolve to. A stricter value in your own profiles is kept.
Recommended valueFor an advisory framework, the value its profile sets. Your own profiles can override it.
ControlThe control, requirement, or rule the framework cites.

Units follow the key name: a key ending in _seconds is in seconds, _days in days, and _bytes in bytes. true means on and false means off.

macOS support is a preview. See Platform support.

Profile SOC 2 Baseline. The console labels this framework SOC 2. Enforced: 60 floors across 9 cited controls.
