What are the prerequisites to see Microsoft Secure Score?
Hi wroot,
You can see a basic Secure Score even with Basic or Standard Microsoft 365 licenses, which is why Lighthouse shows a score for your tenant, but to access the full Secure Score experience in the Defender portal under Exposure (with all recommendations across identity, apps, and devices) you need higher-tier licenses such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3/E5, or Defender plans like Defender for Office 365 P1/P2. Microsoft provides the baseline score for all tenants, but the advanced Secure Score features and full actionable recommendations are gated behind these premium licenses.
