Secure Score - How much should I believe it?
Our company is just getting to the point where we are nearly sorted for security and best practice.
Well, we are trying to be for a small company, M365/ 20 users/ Intune etc. Staff self-taught.
I sort of visit secure score but it doesn't feel like its accurate.
It seems to vary widely sometimes. So I don't know how much to trust it as a measure of how safe we are as a business?
I am aware they have been changing things recently to make it better.
So should I trust it?
Thoughts.
Jeremy_Heath Hello again, I would like to suggest that you look at the Secure Score a guidance as the 'improvement actions' aren't quite applicable for all businesses and scenarios. We've been struggling sometimes but can fulfill one 'improvement action' with another solution, for example third-party or similar, and the Secure Score hasn't any data about that.

ChristianBergstrom If you have used a 3rd party solution to meet the requirement, you should be able to mark it as 'complete via third party' and get the points for that.
Hi Greg we dont have any third party stuff enabled, but thanks for the info
- Hi again,
Yes it does seem a bit vague sometimes.
I have even followed the suggestions (e.g. DLP) and it doesn't seem to understand I already have 8 DLP policies enabled?
Anyway i will do as you suggest and not take it to literally
Thanks again
