# Hardening settings baseline versions

Explore how baseline versions for hardening settings align with family and store releases.

Security Center works by ingesting a subset of system properties from an instance and displaying its configuration details, along with the security impact of non-compliance within the app. The baseline serves as the reference point for the system properties that are ingested with each release of the Security Center app.
