I feel like performing offline backups to Azure Data Box might be a good strategy, but I need to double-check if it’s really necessary for ransomware protection.

Okay, I've got this. Based on the requirement to apply a group of base settings at each logon, I think Mandatory Profiles would be the best fit. That way the settings are consistently applied without the user being able to modify them.

I'm just glad they're not asking us to enable two-factor authentication on our backup accounts. That would be too much work!
