Microsoft Secure Score is a Microsoft measurement, available in the Microsoft Defender portal, that expresses as a percentage how closely a Microsoft 365 tenant's security configuration follows Microsoft's recommendations. Each suggested action, such as enabling MFA (multi-factor authentication) for all users, adds points once completed. It is a configuration benchmark, not a certification or a compliance attestation.
