Endpoint management policy profiles
Detects endpoint-management policy profiles: Intune/MDM/GPO profile wording with machine policy artefacts (OMA-URI, payload keys, policy registry paths, Graph types) and populated profile fields. Topic wording alone is discovery-only.

- Confidence justification
- Medium confidence: the topic phrase alone is discovery-only; enforcement needs populated structure (a machine policy artefact (OMA-URI path, Apple payload key, com.apple domain, HKLM Policies path, Graph @odata.type) or a populated profile field (profile/policy name, assignment/groups, platform, scope tag, setting/value)), and 85 needs two distinct structures plus independent endpoint-control (BitLocker, Defender, firewall, USB, exclusions, ASR) evidence, so policies, blank forms and training text stay below 75.

Known false positives
- Microsoft/Apple documentation quotes OMA-URI and payload examples. Mitigation: Guidance/training framing is excluded; 85 needs two artefacts plus populated profile fields and control context.
