What is Microsoft Secure Score?

A Clear Measure of Your Organisation’s Security Posture

Microsoft Secure Score is a powerful security analytics tool designed to help organisations enhance their security within Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. By providing a detailed assessment of your current security settings and offering actionable recommendations, Secure Score enables you to proactively manage and strengthen your organisation’s defences.

How Does Microsoft Secure Score Work?

Microsoft Secure Score evaluates your organisation’s security posture based on the configuration and usage of its Microsoft 365 services.
