Outlook Security Mode must be configured to use Group Policy settings.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
If users can configure security themselves, they might choose levels of security that leave their computers vulnerable to attack. By default, Outlook users can configure security for themselves, and Outlook ignores any security-related settings that are configured in Group Policy.
