At Techital, we believe in transparency and empowering businesses to stay informed about their security posture. One essential metric to monitor is your Microsoft 365 Secure Score, which shows how well your environment aligns with security best practices.
Since only a Global Administrator can access this score, this guide will help you ask your IT team to provide the score as it currently stands. It’s important to get the score before any changes are made so you have a clear picture of where things are today.
Why Is This Important?
The Secure Score helps you understand your organization’s current security posture. By checking it now, you can assess any gaps that need attention and ensure proactive measures are taken. If you encounter resistance or difficulty in getting the score, Techital is here to help.
Steps to Get Your Security Score
Request the Score from Your IT Team
- Reach out to the IT administrator or the Global Administrator in your organization.
- Ask them to log in to the Microsoft Defender portal (https://security.microsoft.com) and navigate to Reports > Microsoft Secure Score.
Ask for the Score as It Stands Now
- Make it clear that you need the current score without any changes being made beforehand. This helps provide an accurate snapshot of your security status.
- Example request:
“Could you please provide me with our Microsoft 365 Secure Score as it stands today? I’d like to understand where we are currently before any adjustments are made.”
What to Expect in the Report
- The score will appear as a percentage (e.g., 65/100).
- The report includes recommended improvement actions for enhancing your security.
- You can also ask the IT team to export the score report if you want to review it further or share it with other stakeholders.
If You Encounter Any Issues
- If the IT team is unable to provide the score or if you encounter any resistance, Techital can assist you directly.
- Reach out to us, and we’ll ensure you get the information you need to stay informed about your security posture.
