Two tools, two jobs

Microsoft Secure Score is the IT tool. SimpleEntra is the leadership version.

Microsoft Secure Score is the day-to-day technical measurement inside the Microsoft admin UI — 247 recommendations without priority. SimpleEntra takes the same insight and translates it into business risk and a decision-ready board report. Use both.

The short answer: use both. Secure Score is IT's checklist — SimpleEntra is leadership's decision-making tool.

Microsoft Secure Score

Built into Microsoft 365 admin. Tests every recommendation, scores 0-100.
