Identity Secure Score

Identity Secure Score is a numeric percentage in Microsoft Entra ID that measures how closely a tenant’s identity configuration aligns with Microsoft’s recommended security best practices. It evaluates controls like requiring multi-factor authentication, eliminating legacy authentication, and enabling Conditional Access, then surfaces ranked improvement actions with estimated score impact. The key exam distinction is that it is a subset of the broader Microsoft Secure Score, which also covers device and app categories. Expect questions contrasting where Identity Secure Score appears (the Microsoft Entra admin center) with where the combined Secure Score lives (the Microsoft Defender portal).
