Introducing Secure Score
Secure Score is a service that measures your environment against good security practices. It provides metrics to track your successes (the score), a list of recommendations, and tracking capabilities for those recommendations.
Although it’s managed through the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, even customers without Microsoft 365 Defender licensed features can benefit from Secure Score. That’s because Secure Score is a service that draws data from various parts of the entire Microsoft 365 stack. When you have Microsoft 365 Defender licenses, this includes MDE, MDI, and MDA (and some of the MDA-connected cloud apps). But it also includes Azure Active Directory, Exchange Online, Microsoft Purview Information Protection, and Microsoft Teams.
