On the right side of the screen, in the Security defaults pane, see whether security defaults are turned on ( Enabled) or off ( Disabled).
In the navigation pane, select Properties, and then select Manage security defaults. Under Manage Azure Active Directory, select View. You must be a Security Administrator, Conditional Access administrator, or Global Administrator to perform this task.
