Note The only tenants displayed for the mobile app security policy type are the connected tenants that are licensed for mobile app security.
Your business handles highly sensitive customer data, so you want to establish a Health Check Baseline with a higher risk setting than the Salesforce Baseline Standard. Create and upload a baseline to the Security Center, and deploy it to the relevant tenants.
You then decide that the baseline setting is too strict, so you make a new version of the policy. The updated Health Check Baseline is then applied to the same tenants as the original baseline.
On the Security Policies page, use the dropdown menu to activate, deactivate, or edit a policy. When you edit a policy, it saves as a new version. You can still change the settings in a specific tenant after a Security Policy is deployed to it.
