Short answer: open Online protection, choose Block & watch, tick the kinds of sites to block, add any specific sites, and you're done. Every PC gets the list in about a minute.

Step 1: Open Online protection
It shows which sites your team visits, by name only (never the page or what they typed), and every attempt to open a blocked site.
Step 2: Watch only, or Block & watch
Under Manage → Websites:
- Watch only: see which sites are visited. Nothing is blocked.
- Block & watch: block what you pick, keep a record of the rest.
Then tick the kinds of sites to block: Adult content, Gambling, Malware, Phishing & scams.
Step 3: Add your own sites
Under Also block these specific sites, type a site (like example.com) and press Add site.
Step 4: See blocked attempts
When someone tries a blocked site, the page doesn't open, their PC shows a short note that it's your company's rule, and you get an alert with the site's name.
