Originally known as ' Office 365 Secure Score' - Microsoft Secure Score ( MSS ) is a point based measurement of a 365 tenants security posture in Microsoft 365.
It has two features that really play well to our psychology as people interested in maximising the security of our 365 environment - a Score and a Target.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: a 80%+ Secure Score does not guarantee that you’re safe.
By Implementing the relevant security tasks, you can make large jumps in your score, but a good score? That depends who you ask : Here are some opinions ;
We strongly recommend aiming for a secure score in the range of 60% to 80% for optimal protection
We believe that aiming for a Secure Score of at least 80% represents a realistic and achievable goal for most businesses
Your score should be at least 75-80% and higher if possible — if not, then there is work to do.
Above 70% is strong for SMEs with good cyber hygiene, but ideally aim for 80% or higher. 40-69% is average — room for improvement. Below 40% means your organisation could be exposed.
While higher is better, an 80% tenant might actively be compromised while a 40% MSS tenant might have plenty of holes but avoid infiltration.
In one recent Microsoft 365 tenant we assessed - the Secure Score was over 90%. On paper, that’s near perfect. In reality, Overe uncovered multiple critical risks
