 # Create custom security standards and recommendations (AWS/GCP)
 
 [Security recommendations](security-policy-concept.md) in Microsoft Defender for Cloud help you to improve and harden your security posture. Recommendations are based on assessments against [security standards](security-policy-concept.md) defined for Azure subscriptions, AWS accounts, and GCP projects that have Defender for Cloud enabled.

 As you review your assessment results, you can mark results as being an acceptable baseline in your environment. The baseline is essentially a customization of how the results are reported. Results that match the baseline are considered as passing in subsequent scans.
