Hi all,
I have a simple question about the Microsoft Office 365 Secure Score:
Is there any reason for the option "Resolved with Third Party" to give a client a full score, example 10/10?
I'm asking this because in an client perspective we might have questions like:
Client 1: "I can select everything Resolved with Third Party and send the report to my manager that the security its ok".
Client 2: "If my third party service is perfect to Microsoft, why do I need to implement Microsoft services as MFA or others, if third party its ok?"

Well they released this option to address feedback from customers on controls that they satisfied, but were unable to mark. Now you're bringing the opposite point :)
After all, it's just an option. And the score is just a number, it doesn't really matter what the value is. The important part is that you make a habit of reviewing those once in a while and make sure you stick to the best practices, that's the real value you get out of the tool.

So you are telling me that the score is just a number and it really doesn't matter the value. The focus here are best practices?
I think the scoring tool is to alert / advise customers to use Microsoft's solution to improve security. but if a customer asks me that he has selected "Resolved with Third Parties" and that option gave him the top score why investing (time - money - resources) to activate Microsoft solutions.
The question is simple:
How can I motivate a customer to replace a third party service with a Microsoft service if the score says that the third party service has a maximum score without even without knowing the solution.
