Requiring MFA for all users
- Hi lawksalih,
Microsoft Security recommend the CIS Benchmarks for Securing your Office 365/Microsoft 365 tenant. This should be free to download here:

In terms of disqualifying forwarders you would go into Secure Score, find this security control
Do not use mail forwarding rules to external domains
And set Ignore on it.
Hope that helps to answer your question.
Best, Chris
Afaik there is no way to exclude certain accounts from the evaluation of this item, or mark it as compliant. Why do you care about the score improvement it gives you, the important part is the improved posture of the tenant, not whether some number has gone up :)

Thank you for your response and I do agree with you. However, I use the score as a baseline to improve the posture and how we can address the requirements by Microsoft. What other forms of measurement do you recommend I use as a baseline for the security posture.
Thanks again.

Best, ChrisIf I ignore the security control, does that mean that it will not be evaluated by Microsoft?
For example, I see a notice of "You have 380 of 526 user accounts that don't use MFA." I like this feature since it gives me an idea as to where to look and for which specific users for example.
