Microsoft Secure Score: what to prioritize (and ignore)

Secure Score is a guide, not a grade. Which recommendations move risk for small tenants.

By Michael NarehoodMicrosoft 365

Chasing a perfect Secure Score creates busywork. Chasing the right controls reduces breaches.

High value for SMBs

  • MFA for all users
  • Block legacy authentication
  • Privileged access reductions
  • Safe Links / Safe Attachments where licensed
  • External sharing constraints

Lower urgency theater

Recommendations that break niche LOB apps without clear exploit paths: evaluate, do not blindly toggle.
