security score requirements > 80 ?
I need to have my cat watch Microsoft for every move they make.
Now the wordings around the security requirements have changed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/security/security-requirements
Beginning October 1, 2025, updated Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) authorization eligibility requirements will be enforced for direct bill partners, distributors (formerly indirect provider), and indirect resellers. These changes are designed to strengthen the security posture and operational readiness of partners across the ecosystem. As part of these updates, all partners must meet the mandatory security requirements of the Partner Center security score:
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all administrative users in the CSP tenant.
- Designate a security contact within Partner Center.
- Respond to security alerts within 24 hours or less. (doesn't apply to indirect reseller partners).
These requirements are validated annually during the anniversary month of the partner’s original CSP onboarding.
it used to be 1, 2 & 3 go into effect per 1-10-2025, now its shifted towards anniversary.
never a dull moment.
Thnx for making me aware.
regards,
Martijn
Thank you very much, I am quite relieved for this update, which does not require a minimum score of 80 or more.
