What is Microsoft Secure Score?
If your business uses Microsoft 365, you already have access to something called Microsoft Secure Score. Think of it like a health check for your digital security. It gives your business a clear score, based on how well you’re protecting your data, users, and systems in the cloud.
The higher your score, the stronger your defences. A low score? That’s like leaving the doors unlocked in your office overnight.

Why It Matters
In today’s world, cyber threats aren’t “if” – they’re “when.” Small and medium businesses are a prime target because criminals assume you don’t have the same defences as big corporations.
Your Microsoft Secure Score shows exactly where you stand. It highlights risks, suggests improvements, and helps you prove you’re meeting security standards.
For regulated industries—finance, legal, healthcare, education—this isn’t optional. Regulators expect you to have clear evidence of how you’re protecting sensitive information. Secure Score makes that measurable.
Where Most Businesses Struggle
Here’s the challenge:
- Many businesses don’t even know their Secure Score exists.
- Those that do often don’t understand what the numbers mean—or how to improve them.
- Some rely on “the guy who knows computers” to set things up, but security in Microsoft 365 is far more complex than ticking a few boxes.
A misconfigured system can leave you exposed, and the cost of a breach—financial, legal, and reputational—can be devastating.
