Microsoft Secure Score (previously known as Office 365 Secure Score) is a threat and vulnerability management tool within Microsoft 365 that measures and monitors your security posture. It lists improvement actions based on three buckets within Microsoft 365: identities, apps, and devices. A high score generally means you have an effective security posture, whereas a low score indicates having a higher susceptibility to a breach. It provides a report of the average scores for companies like yours, including Microsoft’s recommendations and best practices to fix it if you have a low score. 

Using the Secure Score provides you with a benchmark against companies of similar industry and size to yours which is a good reference point to compare and establish your own key performance indicators (KPIs). Learn more about Microsoft Secure Score, what is an acceptable score, and how it aligns with Essential Eight in this blog post.
