Configuration score is now part of vulnerability management as Microsoft Secure Score for Devices.
Your score for devices is visible in the Defender Vulnerability Management dashboard of the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. A higher Microsoft Secure Score for Devices means your endpoints are more resilient from cybersecurity threat attacks. It reflects the collective security configuration state of your devices across the following categories:
Application
Operating system
Network
Accounts
Security controls
Select a category to go to the Security recommendations page and view the relevant recommendations.
Turn on the Microsoft Secure Score connector
Forward Microsoft Defender for Endpoint signals, giving Microsoft Secure Score visibility into the device security posture. Forwarded data is stored and processed in the same location as your Microsoft Secure Score data.
Changes might take up to a few hours to reflect in the dashboard.
In the navigation pane, go to Settings > Endpoints > General > Advanced features Scroll down to Microsoft Secure Score and toggle the setting to On.
Select Save preferences.
How it works
Microsoft Secure Score for Devices currently supports configurations set via Group Policy. Due to the current partial Intune support, configurations which might have been set through Intune might show up as misconfigured. Contact your IT Administrator to verify the actual configuration status in case your organization is using Intune for secure configuration management.
The data in the Microsoft Secure Score for Devices card is the product of meticulous and ongoing vulnerability discovery process. It is aggregated with configuration discovery assessments that continuously:
Compare collected configurations to the collected benchmarks to discover misconfigured assets Map configurations to vulnerabilities that can be remediated or partially remediated (risk reduction) Collect and maintain best practice configuration benchmarks (vendors, security feeds, internal research teams) Collect and monitor changes of security control configuration state from all assets
