Ensure Safe Links for Office Applications is Enabled (Only Checks Priority 0 Policy)

Why This Matters

Safe Links for Office applications is a key Defender for Office 365 feature that helps protect users from malicious URLs in emails and documents. Without it enabled, users may click unsafe links that lead to phishing sites or malware downloads, significantly increasing your organization's risk of compromise.

What Aether365 Checks

Aether365 verifies that the Safe Links policy with the highest priority (Priority 0) is enabled for Office applications. This check appears in your Aether365 dashboard under microsoft-365 security checks and flags any instance where this policy is missing or disabled.
