In today’s digital landscape, ensuring robust security measures is paramount for any business. Microsoft Secure Score is a powerful tool designed to help organisations assess and improve their security posture through comprehensive security scoring. 

At Cloud Connect WA, a leading provider of managed IT security services, we are proud to announce that we have achieved a Secure Score of 95+, a testament to our commitment to security excellence. But what exactly is Microsoft Secure Score, and why should this security scoring system be a cornerstone for businesses using the Microsoft suite? 

What is Microsoft Secure Score? 

Microsoft Secure Score is a measurement of an organisation’s security posture, with a higher score indicating more recommended security actions have been implemented. This security scoring mechanism provides a comprehensive overview of your security status across Microsoft 365 services, including identities, data, devices, apps, and infrastructure.

By following the Microsoft security recommendations provided by Secure Score, organisations can significantly reduce their risk of security breaches and enhance their overall security framework. This is where managed IT security services can play a crucial role in implementation and maintenance of a strong security score.

Why Microsoft Secure Score matters 

Centralised security management 

Microsoft Secure Score offers a centralised dashboard where businesses can monitor and manage their security posture. This visibility is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities and taking proactive measures to address them, ultimately improving your security score.

Actionable insights 

The tool provides detailed recommendations and insights, helping organisations prioritise their security efforts based on potential impact and ease of implementation. Managed IT security services can help interpret and act on these insights effectively to boost your security scoring.

Benchmarking and reporting 

Secure Score allows businesses to benchmark their security scoring against industry standards and similar organisations. This feature is invaluable for setting security goals and tracking progress over time.

Enhanced trust and compliance 

A high Secure Score demonstrates a strong commitment to security, which can enhance trust with customers and partners. It also helps in meeting various regulatory compliance requirements, a process that can be streamlined with managed IT security services and ongoing security scoring.

What Cloud Connect WA’s achievement means for us and our customers 

Achieving a Secure Score of 95+ is no small feat. It requires rigorous implementation of security best practices and continuous monitoring and improvement of security scoring.
