Importing a Baseline to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse
If you must import a Security Baseline into Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, what sources can you use? I know you can use the Security Compliance Toolkit (SCT). Still, I am thinking more along the lines of where else in the Azure Tenant and specific services can you export Security Baselines (or Policies) for import into Microsoft 365 Lighthouse?

Hi there I created quite a long post on the above subject in the tech community and received no response. I have a strong background in projects so I know exactly what I want, I'm trying to exploit MS Planner, and likely lists and forms to the max. I want to build out simple projects based on deliverables, decompose then into tasks, show dependencies and track the tasks once allocated. So network view for deliverables and Board (Kanban) view for tasks are 'must haves' This is for a small business. I have used MS Project extensively but don't want to use that (GANTT view not required). Where do I start, how far can I get 365 and perhaps cloud VISIO to realise mu project vision? Any comments or thoughts are most welcome! Thanks NiallHelping Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) grow with new innovations in Microsoft 365!
