The Operator Nexus service offers a built-in policy definition that is recommended to be assigned to your Nexus BMM resources. This policy definition is called **[Preview]: Nexus compute machines should meet security baseline**. This policy definition is used to ensure that your Nexus BMM resources are configured with industry best practice security settings.

8483
- For Nexus Bare Metal Machine resources, consider the recommended **[Preview]: Nexus compute machines should meet security baseline** policy.
85-
- For Nexus Kubernetes clusters, explore [built-in AKS policies](/azure/aks/policy-reference) or create custom policy definitions to meet specific security and compliance needs.

- Review [Azure Policy Built-in definitions](../governance/policy/samples/built-in-policies.md) and [Azure Policy for Kubernetes clusters](../governance/policy/concepts/policy-for-kubernetes.md) for more insights.
