What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, with source markup removedProblem detected: Microsoft Baseline Security Mode has automatically triggers Entra Conditional Access policy creation Customers who accessed Baseline Security Mode in Microsoft 365 between November 2025 and early February 2026 might see two draft Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies created in their tenant in a Disabled state. These policies are associated with Baseline Security Mode and might appear as created by the administrator who signed in to the Microsoft Baseline Security Mode page. How this will affect your organization: This behavior doesn't represent a security incident and has no effect on tenant security. The policies are in a disabled draft state. What you need to do to prepare: There's no action needed to prepare. A fix has rolled out to ensure policies are created only through explicit administrator action. Any unintentionally created policy drafts will be removed as part of addressing this issue.
