What is a Microsoft Secure Score?
Microsoft Secure Score is a security analytics tool that aims to make your organization safer by providing insights into its security posture and standing.
Microsoft scores you based on the security controls you implemented in your business's infrastructure, the vulnerabilities in your systems, their severity, and how you can mitigate them. The higher the score, the more secure you are.
