Azure Policies for protection

To view all the Azure Policies that are available for protection, go to Governance > Azure Policies for protection. This displays all the built-in and custom Azure Policy definitions for backup and Azure Site Recovery that are available for assignment to your subscriptions and resource groups.

Selecting any of the definitions allows you to assign the policy to a scope. Screenshot shows protection policy for backup.

Protection compliance

To view the compliance of your resources based on the various built-in policies that you've assigned to your Azure environment, go to Governance > Protection compliance. You can view the percentage of resources that are compliant on all policies, as well as the policies that have one or more non-compliant resources.
