• Microsoft Conditional Access Application Control
• Microsoft Secure Score
• Microsoft 365 compliance center
• Microsoft Intune
• Microsoft Support
• Microsoft AD FS Help
• Microsoft Support

Note: If one of the above applications is already blocked in your tenant: the “unsanctioned” tag will be removed, and the application will no longer be blocked (from Defender for Endpoint or blocking script).

What you can do to prepare:

You may consider updating your documentation as needed.
