Azure Secure Score Comparison for Similar Organizations

Is there a way to see comparison of Azure Secure Score for similar organizations like how Microsoft Secure Score in the Defender portal shows?

For example, Microsoft Secure Score has the below options, and I am looking for a something similar in Azure Secure Score/Defender for Cloud Secure Score.

    Hi,

    In Azure Security Center/Microsoft Defender for Cloud, there are a few ways to get comparative insights:

    Built-in Comparison Options:

    Native Comparison Feature: Unfortunately, Azure doesn't have an exact 1:1 equivalent to Microsoft Secure Score's "manage comparison" feature
    The closest native feature is the Secure Score benchmarking within the Defender for Cloud dashboard

    Benchmarking Methods:

    Industry Benchmark: Shows how your score compares to similar organizations
    Sector-based Comparisons: Grouped by industry type
    Available in the Secure Score section of Defender for Cloud
    Provides percentage-based comparative insights

    Alternative Comparison Approaches:

    Use Azure Monitor Workbooks
    Create custom dashboards in Azure Dashboard
    Leverage PowerBI for more detailed visualizations
    Export data for manual comparative analysis

    Recommended Workarounds:

    Regularly export Secure Score data
    Use Azure REST APIs to pull comparative metrics
    Develop custom reporting solutions
    Engage Microsoft Support for more detailed comparative insights
