What is Microsoft Secure Score?

Microsoft secure score is a security analytics tool built into the Microsoft Cloud stack that helps you manage your security position by analysing the configuration of all your Microsoft Cloud and on–premises solutions and making recommendations based upon a pre–user–defined security score, these recommendations are only made based upon the services you have already purchased. 

Microsoft Secure Score is available with Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Business and Office 365 Business Premium licenses and can be found in the Security and Compliance centre. 

Your Microsoft Office secure score is made up of the Office 365, Microsoft Azure and the Windows Defender ATP security score to give an overall security map of the entire Microsoft Stack.
