Check Text
Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Excel 2016 >> Excel Options >> Security >> Trust Center >> Protected View >> Set document behavior if file validation fails is set to "Enabled: Open in Protected View". Verify the check box for "Allow edit" is not selected. Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\security\filevalidation If the value openinprotectedview does not exist, this is not a finding. If both the value for openinprotectedview is REG_DWORD = 1 and the value for DisableEditFromPV is set to REG_DWORD = 1, this is not a finding.
