Details on the Annual Assessment and Security Score?
I forwarded this to the team and they responded with this:
Everything is in the Partner Center Announcement: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/announcements/2025-may#requirement-updates-for-csp-partners
We have asked our disti about this.
- The Secure Score referred to in the new requirements is the Partner Centre Security Score, not the Partner Tenant Security Score.
- The Partner Centre Security Score is currently not visible to indirect resellers.
- Disti's are not able to view the Partner Centre Security Score of any of the indirect resellers that purchase through them,
- Our Disti recommended that we lodge a support request from inside Partner Centre to ask what our Partner Centre Security Score is.
It doesn't feel logical that Indirect Resellers would be expected to meet a minimum score requirement, without having access to view their score.
Thank you- what is a disti?
We sell direct, and would like to know what score is required to pass this requirement.
Hi ileanar​
Disti refers to distributor or indirect provider in an indirect CSP model.
I believe you need a score of 60 or above to pass but more importantly need the following:
- All Tenants must have a Security contact assigned
- All Tenants must respond to Alerts within 24 hours
- All Admins for the Partner Tenants must have MFA enabled
There are more details on the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/security/security-requirements
