Overview
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint data was connected to Action1 so security information could be gathered through a controlled, repeatable reporting process.
Environment
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Action1 RMM, a dedicated service account, PowerShell reporting, protected stored credentials, and scheduled execution.
Objective
Improve administrative visibility by generating consistent endpoint-security evidence without relying on an ad hoc manual export.
Responsibilities
Established the dedicated account, implemented the PowerShell reporting workflow, protected the stored credentials, scheduled evidence generation, and defined report retention.
Implementation
- Connected Defender for Endpoint data to Action1.
- Used a dedicated service account instead of a personal administrator identity.
- Protected stored credentials used by the reporting process.
- Scheduled PowerShell evidence generation and a 90-day report-retention process.
Validation
The workflow was checked for successful scheduled evidence generation and retained output across the defined 90-day reporting window.
Outcome
Security evidence generation became scheduled and repeatable, with a defined retention process and clearer administrative visibility.
